It also strongly encourages people to return their ballots in person likely because the GOP is already set to challenge mail-in ballots as “rigged”.

Buying a US election: $0.13 billion
Democracy is fucked.
What do you mean, corporations that have a legal obligation to maximize value for shareholders weren’t passing money on to consumers out of the goodness of their hearts? Nobody could have seen that coming! /S
8·27 days agoYeah, Tesla made this claim about the model X being full self driving in 5 years and being able to become an autonomous taxi while you weren’t using it. Still waiting on that one…
I promise you there are older and weirder people in the world who can still find love and fulfillment. Yeah it might be harder, but it is still possible. The most important step is to take care of yourself first. Seriously, look into therapy or support groups. You are not alone in this struggle.
I mean this in the kindest way possible: I think you need some mental health support. Failure isn’t something you are, it’s merely something that happens and it happens to the best of us. You can always change, but it takes some effort and the will to change. Having more self-esteem will really help you find the type of sexual relationship you seem to be seeking.
The call screening is done on-device, but if you flag a screened call as spam then you get the option to send the recording to Google. I’m guessing those get fingerprinted and then used to detect spam when screening other calls.
There’s an even better way to handle spam calls if you have a recent Android phone: use the automated call screening. Every time robocallers hang up immediately before saying a single word because they know if the person flags the call as spam then Google now has a recording to automatically flag future calls even if they spoof new phone numbers.

To me the fediverse is great because you need higher than a room temperature IQ to use it so the posts are already far greater quality and the interactions are more meaningful than any other social network. Meta can keep all the screaming adult children in their platform.
They’re too late, there’s going to be way too much AI generated garbage in their data and so many social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter have already taken measures to curb scrapers.
My new rule of social media: Unless I know and trust the person or the organization making a post, I assume it’s worthless unless I double check it against a person or organization I trust. Opinions are also included in this rule.
Oh hey look, we have the real world Firecracker!
That’s a really big rug they put in there. Would be a shame to everyone else if they were to pull it out suddenly.
The post mentioned a wireless mesh network, so it sounds like the ISP/provider already has a bunch of wireless access points set up to cover the whole building. One of the problems with high-density living spaces is that there are only a limited number of communication channels WiFi can use, so if everyone living there also runs their own wireless networks they use up all the available channels and have to cross-talk over eachother, leading to everything slowing down.
3·2 months agoWhen a corporation or private individual uses their large pool of capital to subsidize an unsustainable business model that undercuts and disrupts the competition until it can establish market dominance, that’s called venture capitalism. When a government does the exact same thing, that’s called communism.
The typical American mindset of “corporation good, government bad”.
Before Elon acquired Twitter, the platform enforced an one-sided policy of censoring right-wing points of view. It even started actively shielding the left from any criticism, such as when the Hunter Biden Laptop story was blatantly censored so as to not affect Joe Biden’s presidential campaign negatively.
What’s funny is that there are a slew of articles from 2019 to 2022, before Musk’s takeover, talking about a study that found Twitter’s algorithm actually had a right wing bias because conservative opinions generated higher engagement (both positive and negative) so it boosted them more than liberal ones.
Also Elon has censored many news stories about himself and his companies since his acquisition. He hasn’t stopped censorship, he merely took control of it.

Good Old Projection: The Republicans are already using X to cheat the election and they don’t want competition.
They won’t be surprised, they’ll just remain angry because they’ll be given new scapegoats to blame by the propaganda machine.
