Not everyone has had COVID and there are antibody markers that only show up with exposure to the virus itself. I think the estimate is around 20% of the population was never infected.

But we also just have brain scans from before the pandemic.

Because they compared them to the brains of healthy people, which while they have variation, have enough similarity to establish a baseline and recognize abnormality.

It’s a small blessing that such a careless expression of ego is bipartisan so he too might be able to die when it will change the political composition of the court.

Every time he comes up I’m surprised he’s still alive.

What are you even trying to say here? You just reiterated my point. People thought it was going to be a blowout because the polling from multiple sources indicated it was going to be a blowout (at least relative to any highly contested race).

And I couldn’t care less what sort of weird account notes you’re not only taking about your Lemmy experiences but desperately want to tell me about. It’s certainly not doing yourself any favors on the “melting down” accusation.

Polls had him up by double digits. None of your imagined villains were wrong, unless we’ve got a stealth pollster here.

But yeah, you’re certainly having a day. Enjoy your cope, weirdo.

I don’t know if MAGA asshats are melting down, but you certainly are.

The AI “editing” is really coming through strongly in this article.

The executives? I dunno, I feel like they’d be worth more if done on a public sidewalk. For tradition’s sake.

Where? There’s like three weirdo centrists that continually get swamped by progressive views. .World has a problem with its overuse of antisemitism as applied to antizionism, but centrist Democrat cheerleading is so far from a Lemmy-wide problem it’s hard to believe you actually use it.

For what? For being too edgy for your tastes in an online forum? Because they moderate an instance differently than you want? In an ecosystem where people can block and defederate instances with software THEY built?

This is clownish. They’re weird tankies who also write software they give away for free. They don’t build blocklists to secretly shape the Lemmy Fediverse or even force you to hear their opinions. They have nearly zero political impact on the world at large but quite a lot of impact on federated software, but apparently annoying you through inaction is your red line.

One instance being moderated a way you don’t like is an incredibly silly reason to revoke support for the development of software you use regularly. Like not just irrelevant, but literally missing the point of the software they’re developing.

Probably more accurate to say he got banned for attempting to circumvent moderation. He was moderated for Islamophobia.

And 40% of Missouri voted for Harris, what’s your point?

The poster above implied that some sampling of voters from conservative states translates into something about nationwide sentiment. Cori Bush was a reelected representative of Missouri’s first district. If they actually wanted to find progressives, they wouldn’t be hard to track down.

Well obviously, we all recognized the glaring omission of any analysis of the cost of supporting a geno- … Wait, it was about wealthy consultants?!

Oh no, Democrats not doing well in Iowa or Missouri? Whatever will we do!?

“The far right has a weak standing on the national stage. Don’t believe me? Go meet some voters in Massachusetts.”

Their contribution to this project appears to be just making up command names and describing common operations. That’s kind of worthless.

On the functionality front rather than the technical accomplishment front, why would anyone want to use a vibe-coded OS that breaks long-standing usage patterns and has zero oversight over the actual code? If you just want to change the name of commands, you can use “alias”, or in this scheme “ali” because that apparently “describes what they do” better than the full word.

This article is over a year old.

My experience of trolls getting bored was from Reddit. It’s so easy to ban them and filter out fresh accounts that practically no equation of troll vs. moderator effort would ever be anything but a waste for the troll. There was one guy who set calendar reminders to flame us in modmail every 90 days or whatever when the longest mute expired and it was just amusing. He set up all this infrastructure and typed out a big flame message and we just hit a single button.

Only truly automated trolling would be meaningful, and that requires a home instance that doesn’t put in restrictions or hurdles in account creation. Which will quickly become obvious as an attack vector and then defederated. And federation of new instances can be restricted so they don’t get to just unleash hell. I’d be more worried about actual DDOSes than a troll storm.

I’m sure there are fake accounts flying under the radar here now, and they’re a big problem on Reddit, but trolling is easy to manage.
