Friend, I vote in primaries, I spout third parties or wings of the Democrats or even Republicans, and how rigged the primary system is, every chance I get. I am not a Biden apologist.
But November 2024 was too freaking late. When your country is getting Hitler or half Hilter, you vote for half Hitler, not whine about them and try to get other half Hitler voters to stop when it’s not going to do a thing.
Does it entrench the system? Sure.
More whatabouts.
For all their sins, Harris (or Biden) would not have tried to specifically deport Palestine protestors, or very specifically and openly support ending Palestine.
And this is just the beginning. That language from the WH sounds like a good setup for classifying Palestine protestors as terrorists.

On the other hand, Abandon Harris endorsed Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who said she would end all military support to Israel if elected, and the group said that it was “confronting two destructive forces: one currently overseeing a genocide and another equally committed to continuing it”
Following the loss of Harris, many in the movement felt vindication. Significant portions of the electorate in Dearborn, Michigan, an Arab American majority city, did not vote for Harris.[77] Muslims who voted for Trump, and were thus pivotal in helping him win the three key states of the Rust Belt (Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin being Harris’s clearer path for a narrow win in the Electoral College), were subsequently upset that Trump nominated pro-Israel cabinet picks…
there’s no way anyone will let him do this.
America: Hold my beer.
To add to other responses… What did the people’s CDC do better than the CDC?
Trump looks more energetic, but sounds quite old if you ever actually watch one of his longer speeches. He rambles on and goes off on tangents like a great grandpa.
I think people from both isles have this “image” of Trump they get from all the headlines, influencers and such whereas Biden does not have that kind of cult following simply because he’s less controversial. His image is more from his carefully controlled public performances (which are basically a lie too).
They both looked alarmingly old to me on this election, but I think Trump’s critical mass let many voters “miss” that alarming trait. I have nothing against old people… but I wouldn’t have wanted my grandpa (may he RIP) holding the nuclear football.
It looks bad with the insane TDP they run at now. They could cut 33% of it off and probably lose like 5-10% perf depending on the SKU. Maybe even less.
It also looks a lot like planned obsolescence.
Definitely cute.
The source could still be totally bogus.
This is why I hate Twitter, especially Twitter screenshots like this without even enough info to easily look up the user.
Playing devil’s advocate, it appears Hitler doesn’t usually start with an open palm on his heart, but one perpendicular to his chest.
But sometimes he just goes straight from arms down to the salute. There’s some variability.
Anyway, this is splitting hairs to an obscene degree. You have to contort your brain to not see this as a Nazi salute, ignoring the context or not, and in any other time a public figure would have at least apologized for doing this if they weren’t impeached/dismissed/fired.
No its quite simple.
It’s pro Trump, or its banned.
And he was loud and clear about that.
Somehow I didn’t get pinged for this?
Anyway proof of work scales horrendously, and spammers will always beat out legitimate users of that even holds. I think Tor is a different situation, where the financial incentives are aligned differently.
But this is not my area of expertise.
I’m talking text only, and there are some fundamental limitations in the way current and near future LLMs handle certain questions. They don’t “see” characters in inputs, they see words which get tokenized to their own internal vocabulary, hence any questions along the lines of “How many Ms are in Lemmy” is challenging even for advanced, fine tuned models. It’s honestly way better than image captchas.
They can also be tripped up if you simulate a repetition loop. They will either give a incorrect answer to try and continue the loop, or if their sampling is overturned, give incorrect answers avoiding instances where the loop is the correct answer.
There are simple tests to out LLMs, mostly things that will trip up the tokenizers or sampling algorithms (with character counting being the most famous example). I know people hate captchas, but it’s a small price to pay.
Also, while no one really wants to hear this, locally hosted “automod” LLMs could help seek out spam too. Or maybe even a Kobold Hoard type “swarm.”
I’m no expert, but that seems good to me!
Unfortunately the critical mass is on Twitter/Facebook and cable news, so you are still seeing a very small slice of what the Republican base is actually getting exposed to.
I mean, there’s a real issue.
Say you were china, or the EU, or any other country/bloc and basically your entire youth was addicted to Twitter, Facebook or whatever, and officially manipulatable by the US government…. And you got into a real conflict. Maybe even a hot war.
Wouldn’t you be worried about the US propagandizing your population?
I would.
The US government’s solution is completely dysfunctional and not getting at the root of the issue because they are afraid of reducing the power projection of big tech, among other things. But the core issue doesn’t need to be trivialized.
Like what? Reddit subs?
I have a feeling Facebook and Twitter are going to be very different.
The effect is kinda broken though.
The old idea is that investment enables the unwealthy to use capital to be productive, and the wealthy to take on their risk. This is… fine. It still happens, and that’s great.
But past a certain point, there’s basically no risk for the wealthy, as illustrated how boards make boneheaded, abusive decisions every day yet still compound their wealth, often handing “the bag” of their failure out to the public and getting away with millions and a new gig. Startups hope to get bought out by megacorps instead of actually being sustainably productive, and the megacorps don’t care because they’re still stupendously rich when their boneheaded buyout fails, and it squelches competition.
Near trillionaires should not get the benefits of compounding interest. Their incentives are horrendously misaligned and broken, and it’s basically cheating the system.
What’s more, no one should be opposed to this. Socialist, free market libertarian, far right/MAGA, any flavor of communist, neoliberal, whatever, logically all of humanity should agree mega billionaires are bad for everyone and should be taxed to shit. The only exceptions are crypto bros, con artists, fraudulent day traders, (why would lose the systems that enable their pump and dump schemes), and… billionaires.
I am.
Many seemed to think that Trump and Biden/Harris had roughly “equivalent” Gaza policy, as evidenced by their surprise at Trump’s actions. That is dangerous misinformation, and it deserves to be called out as a mistake, no matter how tragic the consequences are.
I view our election system as a rigged game, and not participating in swing states as a protest is all but choosing a side, in my eyes. Especially when the consequences are so personally important. The opportunity cost is Democrat votes, and Trump’s gain. In that spirit, I actually registered as a Republican in my home state, only so I could vote against Trumpist politicians wherever I can, as there’s basically no hope for Democrats and my vote would be “thrown away,” relatively speaking. And I can still vote against Republicans in the general election and some other offices that have a shot.
