The food scarcity percentage (sometimes or often not being able to afford groceries) is down 1%, but yeah it might not be noticeable. I don’t think Harris’s campaign did anything substantial on the other economic stuff, though. In trying to campaign a message of change, it seems like they neglected their incumbent successes and failed at both.

dbzer0 is only as thematic as ml is imo

Don’t forget we only have about 87% reporting right now. So far turnout seems on track to be about the same as 2020.

Apparently people see him as the strongman lesser evil who’s gonna bring back economy, “fix” illegal immigration (both of which the current administration has done), and keep status quo on energy and abortion. I blame the Democrats for not campaigning on their successes.

Did we have low turnout?

The very second website in the file they use to track recently-moved websites uses substack (now).

Meanwhile, Automattic’s response to WP Engine’s lawsuit claimed the company “failed to plausibly allege specific financial harm.”

The footer says the site is operated by Automattic.

At least certain courts may interpret “official duty” differently…

Yes. Constitutionally, the threat of impeachment is supposed to prevent that.

I don’t get what you mean by Harris being more racist and sexist, but I agree that the campaign failed to change perception of failure despite how much they succeeded.

Fuck no, fuck the system.

these lemmy users who were insulting all russians in the “expulsion of russian maintainers” thread because according to them the majority back putin

I don’t think much people said that; at most that any Russian can be forced their hand by the state.

struck, thanks. It’s false advertising then.

Crucial context, the reason for the legality:

“The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,” Gober said Monday. “We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow.”

I checked the wording and it appears it never said the choice was going to be random! Devious.

Which PULSE?

Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE if you wanna expand into psychedelia

Step 4 would be AI blindly copying the person with more than two braincells, whcih is why there are duplicates of both versions.

Either that or it’s a syndicated story

You might wanna try out Pale Moon. It’s optimized for single-thread performance and takes up a bit less memory.

It sets an absolutely obscene precedent that a government can globally restrict information

Again, the information is still everywhere.

Even global terrible actors like Russia and China haven’t succeeded at that.

Actually, the Chinese Wikipedia used to have a systemic bias in favor of the CPC before China blocked it, after which the bias was changed.

because the entirety of Wikipedia is open source and would be mirrored in the country instantly

It’s a bit elitist to restrict information—weapons of revolution—to those who know how to find a mirror website. Why don’t you survey the Chinese nationals in-person to see if they know how to get on Wikipedia? Plus, to avoid block evasion, no mirrors would be able to edit Wikipedia.
