Yes some of them voted for him but a bunch of them didn’t.
Stop being defeatist… inform yourself… look at the numbers. Look at the evidence. Get active.
If you’ve wondered why everything looks like a coup since he got in, perhaps it is because it is one.

Edit: the upvote/downvote ratio on a comment like this shows how rapidly Lemmy is turning into Reddit. Nobody cares about the data, if you remotely sound like defending the GOP down the chute you go.
It’s your loss America. I’ll sleep fine as long as we don’t have electronic voting systems here.

Quality dillution, not to mention distracting the plebeians from much more disturbing realities. Though, I suppose I wouldn’t mind the slightest bit of rooster action on the hawks in the USA and Israel.

kingofras@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish93·1 month agoThanks OP, appreciate it.
I’m not disagreeing with any of your other statements. The enshitification is real. However, let’s not put them in the Adobe camp just because they are selling ad metrics and open about it. That’s actually transparent and still only applies to people watching content with ads in it.
The overall Lifetime Plexpass user is completely not affected by this, so the entire first reaction to your post that it’s time to ditch Plex for some other platform is not really justified.
People who are using Plex for just selfhosting without using their free online streaming stuff are not affected by this at all.
But eventually yes, I’m sure capitalism will also kill Plex. But possibly our planet and entire civilisation before that.
kingofras@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish1514·1 month agoOP is claiming Plex will now SELL your personal data.
Omitting that the user must provide consent, not like Firefox or Adobe just updates T&C and forces user agreement. OP’s title is upvote seeking, cherry picking to quote certain text which makes it seem like they leave the user no choice, and leaving out the part of the text that stipulates the user does have to consent prior to the sale of information.
Moreover, the sale of data seems to be in order to facilitate the ads they show in their free movie and tv content, and even then is still opt in. The ads aren’t, but the data sale isn’t.
For posterity the full OP at the time of this post
Plex now will SELL your personal data

kingofras@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex now want to SELL your personal dataEnglish3527·1 month agoEdit: OP update the title and has my support should they run for public office.
OP is posting misleading hyperbole
This from the Plex site, emphasis mine.
Consent
We take your privacy seriously. If you’d like more details on how we collect, use, and transfer your information, please review our Privacy Policy. Plex is able to provide free-to-watch movies, shows, and live TV by displaying a modest number of ads before and during playback. While it is not possible to opt-out of these ads, you do not have to consent to the selling and sharing of certain information.
We’re never going to get anywhere if people on these communities can’t act in good faith and share correct and information - not sensation. Change the OP or mods delete this misinformation.
ETA: shame on the 63 people who mindlessly upvote this crap without factchecking OP too.

Citizens are being deported. The juridical branch snapped in half. We’ll hash out the details after. Let me know when it’s done.

And the one time they nearly hit him they were using the exactly wrong weapon for the job.

This question each and every time had The West Wing as top rated answer on the other platform consistently, but here even Taskmaster gets 8 votes.
The West Wing was required medicine to get through 45. For 47, I’m hearing good things about 86.

You don’t get a premium well rested one with a Harvard degree in social studies if you have to handle Elon’s plane.

There is no due process. Fuck shit up, or shit will fuck ALL OF US up. This time the fascists have nukes. Will somebody think of the children.
kingofras@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•'Everybody's worst nightmare': Air traffic controllers say outages have become too frequent15·2 months agoYikes, forgetting the /s on !news is pretty punishing!
To all you sensitive little American snowflakes:
Yes, lots of “regular” people will now have to die for these idiots to also be unalived. So sorry for the discomfort. Rest in peace knowing the world will be very grateful for your sacrifice.
What’s wrong with you? You have a 2nd amendment to fck shit up when shit gets real, but you only want to use it for school shootings?
You’re disturbingly religious to the point there is NO separation of church and state and create an entire political cult out of it, yet the whole “Jesus dying for our sins” seems too far fetched to get rid of these corrosive assholes?
We’re at a very simple point in history, which only Luigi has understood so far: as long as you keep this corrosive class of white wealthy fuckheads alive you are complicit in the destruction not just your country but our entire world.
So you know what to do. “I aint doin shit” and press the downvote button.
You rambo toughies are only tough when it’s convenient hey?

No need to warn them that frequently.
