Oh I agree that you won’t be able to fire your shotgun in a large urban area, but if you’re someplace less densely populated I can imagine being able to drive up from behind in the middle of the night…

It’s too bad there isn’t an easier way to deal with this problem, especially in the instances where the cameras are being installed without consent.

Akin to having foreign adversaries set up a spy network within our borders, and instead of being punished for it, many law enforcement agencies are choosing to buy the subscription plan!

Anyone have any intel on how well these cameras hold up against buckshot?

What do you think the letters LLM stand for, pal?

The more I hear about regulations in Australia, the more certain I am that their leaders lack the ability to distinguish nuance in any capacity.

Otoh, maybe it’s the rest of us who are out of touch and need to do more to protect the children.

Ooh, new Creeper World? Underrated games, though the concept was tough for me to get my head wrapped around for a little bit.

Historically this does seem to be the trend. However it could be worth pointing out that the original New Deal was enacted during a period of historic economic turmoil and upheaval. Could be worth refreshing ourselves on how that came about to help prepare for what’s coming next.

Yeah Susan, I’m sure Microsoft TOTALLY learned their lesson from the Crowdstrike incident. Y’know, since they’ve never had an anti-malware company cause worldwide outages because of a configuration error before.

Which would be a great point if we lived in a world where facts and laws mattered.

Except Beyonce literally didn’t perform for Harris?

We certainly agree on the broad strokes. I think part of the allure of the MAGA messaging was that it was often shared by a highly approachable racist that people were already comfortable with, so the political bits could just sorta be sprinkled in as needed alongside other ideas that people already agreed with.

Feels like deciding in 2010 between Twitter and Reddit in some ways…

Idk, Harris vastly outraised Trump (over $1B in 3 months) and it… didn’t move the needle.

Progressives need to distill their ideas down into smart, easily repeated ideas (Billionaire bad, union good) that can spread via social media, aren’t inflammatory (defund the police, etc), and aren’t based on fear and loathing but rather a message of hope.

National polling isn’t the same as a poll designed to predict the popular vote. Biden won in 2020 by 7 MILLION votes. Even Clinton beat Trump by nearly 3 million votes. The popular vote and the election results are decided by completely different factors, pollsters aren’t soliciting people outside of swing states right now because nobody gives a fuck what a random Californian or Missourian thinks at the moment.

Huh? Which pollster is claiming that? This article from 3 days ago seems to indicate the opposite - Harris is highly unlikely to lose the popular vote but the EC is very much still up in the air.

California has a lot of people who vote, it’s tough to make up that margin.

I think it is funny when I hear Trump warning about the violent liberal Marxists that are coming for us if the Dems win, because if the people on Lemmy.ml weren’t Russian trolls, they’d be the people he’s talking about. 😂

Steam has voice channels? 🤯

My brother in Christ, YOU asked ME what app I used. What response were you expecting from, “miss me with that horseshit”? Something along the lines of, “Oh, sorry Mr. Godric, sir. I’ll start using a privacy respecting front-end right away!”???

While your threat model might have you terrified of the idea that your Lemmy app might be sharing data about you, I do not share that fear. I also have Connect on my device. I like the interface of Boost better, and use it more. Boost has no device permissions, and I haven’t donated so they don’t have financial info. Otherwise, the dev collects crash logs and usage data? I mean, c’mon bro, take a chill pill.

I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve found an app that you like - and that it already has the functionality you’re looking for. What I fail to understand is the superiority complex because you use an app that collects less data.

Ahh OK that makes sense thanks

I’ve been using Boost
