  • Look up Al Gore vs George Bush Jr. in 2000. The lack of a preferential voting system meant that Bush won Florida (and thus the election as a whole) because votes were split on Gore and a left-leaning independent, leaving Bush with the most votes (despite all the greens voters almost certainly wanting Gore over Bush).

  • Haven't hasn't it been shown that people who pirate heavily actually spend more on media overall than those who do not?

  • Agreed. 1/10 of the posts were from friends for me, and half of those friends posts were from one chronic Facebook acquaintance that I should unfriend.

    I went through and unfriended a couple of hundred people that I need not be friends with on the platform anymore recently, and I've got to say I was impressed with how little my real friends actually post to Facebook. It wasn't uncommon to see someone's last post to be well before 2020 on there, over half a decade ago.

    It leads me to believe that the concept of pushing out a comment to the Facebook news feed died a long time ago for the average millennial. People still probably comment in groups, but have set up privacy filters that prevent them from being shown publicly. Stories get used more, but it's maybe 5-10 people posting the lions share of them.

  • Is music piracy is still a major thing these days? I've not even considered it for years, because every music streaming platform has all the music, it seems.

    Movie and TV show piracy must be so much more rampant because of the fragmentation creating inconvenience to consumers.

  • Insanity hey. Goes to show you can very easily be wealthy but not smart.

  • P in that case Nicole's DMs are the Lemmy women's sub.

  • Insane pricing

  • Sam Bankman Fried pardon incoming.

  • I've added a note that this is true.

  • The part of my brain responsible for my previously irrational distrust of Telegram is feeling so vindicated right now.

  • Exactly. Introducing vulnerabilities to everyone means that foreign powers will be able to use it to spy on EU citizens as well. Fucking bananas.

  • Yeah, what the hell is this video subject. I honestly thought this stuff was common sense.

  • Can't wait for all of the dark patterns to flood the UI/UX

  • Yeah, I don't believe that Mozilla could afford to lose that funding.

  • I've been worried about this. I figured that Mozilla is funded by Google (so they can say that they've taken steps to avoid the perception that they are a Browser monopoly). Would Mozilla lose their funding of Google no longer has that Browser monopoly?

  • That is true. There's also the Sony link buds (without the noise cancelling) that work for that

  • Haha, with a capital C to be sure.

  • I've been mainly on Linux for a few years now and honestly once you have your alternative apps going it's golden.

  • I think it would be great if the technology was more mature, and there was proper accountability for the negative consequences. I think we need a conservative approach npw, where the CEO of the companies pushing self driving are personally held liable for manslaughter if someone dies due to an error.
