  • Oh, sorry. It's here.

    I left it out since it's paywalled but I should have thought that some might want it.

  • Another example for why I absolutely refuse to categorize people by skin color, sex, sexual preference, etc.

    This guy's a fucking piece of shit no matter what color he is.

    Whatdy'a say we judge politicians on their policy rather than immutable attributes?

  • YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog

    Jump

  • Seeing as these ads will be targeted and of varying length, I wonder if a SponsorBlock-like extension with the ability to accept training data from users to help identify ads.

    The Plex server application has a feature which scrubs videos and identifies intros so you can skip them like you can on Netflix. Wouldn’t it be sort of like that?

    Seems like a good use of AI/ML.

  • More History Channel.

    Used to be some really good shit on there that would teach you interesting history. Then it turned into Ancient Aliens bullshit.

  • Self hosted option is a docker image. Probably not difficult to set up.

  • Trump's 'body odor' leaves people 'gagging' as Republican says 'you need a mask'

  • It's gonna piss Trump off so I'm cool.

  • If I get back into it, I’ll probably try out Bigscreen. I haven’t dug deep enough into it to know if it requires an account but I wouldn’t expect this one to require it.

  • I paid for lifetime in 2012. Worth it.

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024

    Jump

  • So you get… support for getting rid of FPTP. But no actual changes because you’re lucky to get 5% of the vote.

    I think in reality you get to feel like you’ve washed your hands of it and “did what you could” and then after the election you can say, “hey, I didn’t vote for them” and feel good inside.

    In other words, fuck all.

  • And when those candidates get 5% max of the vote, what does it get you?

  • How’s that, exactly?

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024

    Jump

  • Yes

    Thank you. That's more than I get from most "just vote third party" commenters. But then you say,

    Instead of people choosing what they think is best for us

    The FPTP voting system results in 2 major parties where 3rd parties have no chance of winning. It's not people who've decided to do what they can to perpetuate the 2 party system we have - it's the system itself which needs to change. The people mostly vote logically (with the exception of 3rd party voters) given the current rules of the system.

  • No, you will categorize people by color.

    If you refuse, you are raci... Wait...

  • A longtime GOP operative helped the Green Party’s Jill Stein get on the N.H. ballot. Democrats smell mischief.

    Jump

  • but have you ever tried to explain RCV to anyone over the age of 50?

    Just call it instant runoff then. It's the same thing (as I understand it) and has been in the American lexicon for some time now.

  • This is a pivot and Lemmy will eat it up because "USA BAD" but is not a response to the topic in the thread which is that third party votes are meaningless.

    Let's see if I can get a direct answer: Do you know that the next president of the US will be the Dem or Rep nominee?

  • The Dangerous Illusion of a Presidential Third Party in 2024

    Jump

  • The next president will be either the Dem or Rep nominee.

    If you believe otherwise I would like to wager a large sum of money.
