The brief window where trump had a functioning brain closed in 1981, and he's been coasting on fumes ever since.

Tbh, didn't click into either of your links here, but enough to state the following...

Gonna leave this here. ["I'm a professional liar, and you, personally, are stupid for listening to anything I say"]

All shit-sloshing gutters eventually end at the RNC. It's like the famous section of that classic poem from the old gop poet, No-wokeius Bartholomew Pussyhound III:

"Give me your washed up, your publicly disgraced and purposefully-undereducated, your convicted masses yearning to molest underage boys in churches and motels while wearing flag shirts... I'm gonna scare those goofy fuckers into giving me money by talking almost exclusively in acronyms that they don't understand, but are terrified of!"

There just needs to be a law that these pop ups have to contain a clear, recent, full color, high definition headshot of the CEO/President of the company that profits from this.

"I hate Trump and his actions as much as anyone here, but..."

Of course, this is the traditional phrasing used by us fellow legitimate, absolutely genuine, haters of fascism and their associated ideals - We just can't stop qualifying it, we can't help ourselves...

"Women should have equal rights, but..."

*"Love who you love, marry who you want, but..."

"I'm definitely not racist, but..."

"I support a person's right to choose what they do with their pregnancy, but..."

"The Nazis were out of line, but..."

"UH, SEE... Now look what YOU made me do!!!"

Will anyone else in this thread commit to stepping up and adding absolutely nothing to this conversation, in this person's place, if they do leave Lemmy? Who's going to do their part?

Do companies store facial and voice recognition data from the thousands of hours of zoom/teams calls that their employees use? (lemmy.world)

I heard a person call into a show the other day, voice only, and talk about some poor working conditions at a factory. Made me think about how it would probably be so easy for nefarious bosses to be able to identify that person through voice recognition SW with all of the data that comes from us looking directly into cameras and speaking clearly in modern workplace meetings.

Do "anonymous" callers need to start using voice modulation software for these kinds of calls in the modern world?

If Reddit had a soul/conscience, I think it was us, and we're all on Lemmy now... (lemmy.world)

As a little background, I didn't actively use Reddit for months following the blackout. I still barely stop in over there and if I do I'm never logged in our contributing to the communities there (where I was previously a daily poster/commenter).

Just bringing up a point that I'm not sure I'd seen anyone discussing directly over here; the general sentiment and quality of posted information on Reddit has become tangibly worse in multiple ways (I think coinciding with this group, us, leaving).

Now don't get me wrong, Reddit sucked in many ways and for long before the migrations to Lemmy, but there is a noticeable difference in a few key areas:

  1. Less skepticism in replies

  2. Less sourcing of information in posts and replies

  3. Less counter positions expressed generally

  4. If there is a decent reply, you have to scroll much further down to find it

  5. Less plain labeling of obvious bullshit

Many of us used to introduce counter viewpoints or clarifying information into posts, with sources. That functionally worked as a roadblock to stall the quickly building momentum of disinformation/misinformation. Those roadblocks often feel absent over there now, IMO.

Not saying we hold a responsibility to go back there or that we were saving lives before, but the difference is very apparent to me - Have you seen it? Any examples?

Assuming to artificially secure people with new memberships through their first 4-6 weeks to establish a habit through the first billing cycle. Is this a known thing?
