CNN Poll: Most voters think Democrats have a better chance of keeping White House if Biden isn’t the nominee
  • Children change their mind at last second when confronted with the consequences of their behavior. You can sit them down and explain that we now have 4 years to set something up, but they tune out because it's boring. Also 4 years is too long for a child to concretely understand. It takes a grown-up brain to be able to make the connection.

    Why can you describe children and end up describing the American electorate? What's wrong with us?

  • Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show
  • What I don't understand about the handlers thing is that when I watch other famous people walking and talking: I see their handlers steer them, give them signals, whisper names in their ear. And you know what? Celebrities in their prime look awkward all the time. People who have nothing to worry about but their craft and being famous screw up all the time.

  • To all you outside of the US...
  • I don't see how what conservatives say has to do with reality.

    Biden has been "senile" and "too old" for years now, during which time we've had a functioning Biden administration.

    The Trump admin was limp, chronically understaffed, weak, ineffectual. That's what they're pretending is better than Biden. Conservatives don't even care about senility so if you hear them rag on Biden and think they're right, you're not understanding what they're really saying.

  • Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show
  • Damn, I guess I'm going to ignore years of evidence that Biden's admin can function just fine and go with my feelings on this one. I mean would you vote constructively if it meant getting over yourself? Of course not. We're Americans. We want a leader with a good jaw, not with good character or good ideas.

    Nah but seriously though. Biden and Trump make me feel bad so I'm going to vote in a way that harms the country. That'll show us.

  • TikTok confirms it offered US government a 'kill switch'
  • We embedded third party auditors in that crypto exchange so I'm curious exactly how inscrutable tiktok really are.

    I mean the accusations are that they're too beyond oversight and we can't confidently audit the data, so giving us a button to stop them when we can't see what they're doing would be a joke. But I'm skeptical that it's as difficult to lock down their data as we make it seem.

  • [Playstation Lifestyle] Lack of Elden Ring DLC Trophies Leads to Heated Debate Among PS5 Players
  • I get it, trophies / achievements feel like an intuitive addition to games. I think the "collect 500 flags in zone. collect all flags in game." or even "last 400 years as Lombard" types are a bit much but generally I enjoy hunting down trophies. Gt trophies are pretty tough if you're going for things like number of poles (and you're racing at your skill level)

  • With GPL, you're programming Freedom. With MIT, you're programming for free.
  • That's what I said. Free licenses are for free software, while copyleft is for "free software." Copyleft is because corporations like Xerox will act in bad faith, etc. Free licenses are for free software. Copyleft is for Free Software, The Movement. People aren't cucks for not deigning to make every piece of code they write part of some statement.

  • If it looks like duck and quacks like a duck...
  • Is it actually one option though? Like sure, let's ignore Republicans. The Democratic nominee is the new presidential race. Or the many many seats up for grabs, aren't there different people we can pick? They might all have D by their name but are they all the same? People call Fetterman a former liberal and almost everything he does is pro-worker. There seems to be a spectrum of Democrats to choose from.

  • With GPL, you're programming Freedom. With MIT, you're programming for free.
  • Permissive licenses are truer to the spirit of free software but copyleft, while kind of a copout, seems more pragmatic due to corporations. I wouldn't avoid copyleft licensing on principle or anything but it feels incongruous to want to make something freely available to all but then nitpick over how they use it.

  • Edward Snowden releases new message: "You have been warned"
  • This kind of rhetoric is for conservatives / Trump supporters / conspiracy theorists.

    The way he implies there's an agenda behind the hire without actually articulating it, the way he leads you on and then assumes you'll take the implication for granted, an unearned "this is a very bad thing!", capped with a cryptic "You've been warned!"

  • Gen Z influencers who supported Biden in 2020 turn against him
  • I wonder if influencers are real. People will make decisions and then gravitate towards something, and others will end up thinking that that something is the cause. But I've never seen evidence that an influencer with 1 million followers is anything other than a mustering ground for people already wanting to act out. I guess "influencer" is just shorthand for "we don't actually know what's influencing all these people, but we know where they've assembled!"

  • Let's Fix Villages At Their Source
  • I would not want to sacrifice my time and energy making a product better just so a corporation can make more money or earn more kudos. And the higher ups definitely don't want to invest more than they have to. Minecraft is just a product now.
