Visikde@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Tim Walz says he and Harris were too ‘safe’ during 2024 presidential campaign0·4 months agoI vote for the candidate that would do the least harm for the most people, just like I always do, nearly always the Dem
I believe there is a mandate Since the largest group of voters did not vote, they apparently thought everything was fine the way it was They passively voted for the Status Quo There is a clear Mandate for the Status Quo! Winning by less than 1% & losing seats in the house is no mandate to become a Monarchy, to be ruled by Royal decree
Making it all seem like shyt is the GOPux brand
Proving government incompetent by their actionsThe Dems keep running on We Suck Less!
In general we would rather critique the bad faith arguments of conservatives than talk about policy, which is mind numbingly boring…
As long as the donor class calls the tune it’s gonna continue Third Way, Neo Liberal…

Scanning a Qr allows the installation of malware apps so I can look at a restaurant menu, & ding my card for recurring charges?
Visikde@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Meta’s new content policies risk fueling more mass violence and genocide3·5 months agoI got an email from Meta a couple of days ago about an account I had been locked out of for a several years, after logging out, trying to recover my password, which they wouldn’t allow without me providing a copy of my drivers license, which wasn’t going to be possible, since I made up all the details other than the throw away gmail account
I had been restricted & banned for posting meme’s or trolling magats on several occasions prior…I’m guessing, there was a mass unlocking of previously blocked accounts
Visikde@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Is Elon Musk's government efficiency drive legal?0·5 months agoNo We have several systems find waste, fraud & abuse
Inspector General
Government Accounting Office Office of Management & Budget
All of which are routinely ignored by both houses of Congress
If a mandate actually existed the Congress would have no problem actually doing their job & writing some law
It’s no coincidence that every system Elmo is hacking is investigating illegal activity within his companies/government contracts
Another tell tale sign is that DoD, the traditional home of waste, fraud & abuse isn’t the primary target

Gender is an imprecise way to classify athletes
Weight & skill level are more sensible
Visikde@beehaw.orgto Programming@beehaw.org•We need better moderation tools for taking better control on how we use internet0·5 months agoModeration for adults is gonna be tough
Who is going to submit to being under someone else’s control
There are lots of tools available
All require discipline to use consistentlyI have my own organizational scheme to reduce distractions
No notifications on the desktop, Three hidden panels: Time/calendar/weather, Launchers, Virtual desktops/window switcher/system tray Different browser & email for different tasks
Virtual desktops Money, doctors, work
Music, books, games [no email or browser] News, critique of peoples opinions,
Forums & sites I’m testing, repair info, linux stuffAll the tabs on the different browsers relate to the purpose of the VD
If I miss, I move whatever it is to where it “belongs”
Keeps me from being stuck doing one thing too long or ignoring things I should spend time on

Anything is Possible
Visikde@beehaw.orgto Jokes and Humor@beehaw.org•Please suggest good right-wing comedians1·8 months agoBill Maher is libertarian
Ron White
Kathleen Madigan
Bill Engvall
Dennis Miller Not really right wing as old & whiney
Joe Rogan thinks he’s funny
They lost interest after finding out it was going to be expensive, complicated requiring work.
