yup, definitely a weird choice for grouping but also not random

I don’t think that’s AI

do you think that a half dozen lemmy users are capable of changing the voting system?

there have been some initiatives passed in some states, but thats only half the election. And the people in power benefit from a first past the post voting system, so transitioning out is slow work. It is possible, and it is happening, but there’s not a magic button that says “swap to superior voting method” that a single socialist can press

I’ll throw in my most recent guilty pleasure is Space Battleship Yamato. I didn’t grow up with the original so I’m currently re-watching the 2012 remake. But for fun at the start I watched episode one of the original Yamato, Star Blazers (70s American localization) and the remake in the same day just to compare, which was a cooler experience than I expected it to be.

Great show if you think One Punch Man would be better if Saitama was a spaceship

Warframe is great but you can’t do 95% of the story missions multiplayer

quantity over quality is a pretty effective scam technique, it’s hard to get money from experienced technical users. So the initial hook is sometimes designed to intentionally be obvious to those users so they know to ignore it, so that the scammers don’t waste their resources on the later stages of the scam

got an email during university that I had been given access to an array of digital resources for free, all I had to do was link my university email credentials. Only after I had already done that did I realize how sketchy it was, but then it did actually turn out to be legit. Wish i remembered/still had access I remember there being some good stuff on there

I think you’re a conspiracy theorist

oh I’ve only ever read it, never heard it pronounced, do people really pronounce it engine X?

hmmm I thought I did, I saw a little bit on Twitter talking about the video essays discussing the allegations. And then the tweet from the alleged victim saying that it was nothing, and then a tweet from someone who I thought was the creator of one of the video essays saying that the above alleged victim was not actually one of the victims they talked about.

But now I can’t find any of that exchange, or even the original video essays, and all the news outlets are referencing just that tweet from the alleged victim and only seem to be referencing a single victim, but that might just be that the news outlets are trying to post things too early

i believe that one alleged victim said they were not a victim but they were not the only alleged victim

those are different groups, the loan providers were in support of loan forgiveness. pause to make sure I know what I’m talking about. Unless your fed loans are serviced by MOHELA, in which case the state of Missouri sued on their behalf

ah that makes sense

couldn’t you do that anyway if you can get people to install an extension? taking advantage of this for crypto mining purposes feels like extra steps

i found this out after reading through osmand documentation and seeing a bunch of features marked as premium that I DEFINITELY hadn’t paid for, and trying to figure out what happened lol

yeah, OsmAnd is open source, so someone else built it to be released on fdroid, and the original developers have said that they don’t have a problem with that I think as long as they don’t release it on Play/try to sell it
