Their hold is so strong we elected a guy with dementia over a healthy qualified person. At this point only death canl release their grasp

The American dream has changed so many times through the generations I’m not sure there’s any cohesive vision. I remember it used to be owning a house, having kids, and being self sufficient. Nowadays I don’t think young people even want kids- having time and money to have fun seems like the dream, which is sort of… bleak? That should be the bare minimum, but the older generations failed them.

Makes sense, but in that case, why do law enforcement even care if the OS reboots itself if they already have a copy of the encrypted contents?

Most phones aren’t letting you try more than 5 attempts before you’re locked out. You can even set it up to erase after the attempts

Hooked on election funding despite it not really doing anything for her despite the huge advantage? Yeah that’s a good strategy.

At this point maybe the democrats just need to embrace these hard positions and normalize them. The gop doesn’t appear to care how radical their stances are and they get votes regardless of the racism. Trump’s whole shtick has been normalizing bad behavior and gaslighting the other party into thinking any wrong they do is a gotcha- they’re operating on two very different rulesets.

Sadly that didn’t affect trump voters when Trump kneecapped the pandemic response teams (including the CDC) before covid.

Honestly it should be. If people could find ways to vote during a pandemic, they should be able to do it without one. That we’ve regressed is a serious issue

Right wing media convinces their viewers that any media which conflicts with their viewpoint is fake news. This perspective is super alarming because it makes it super hard to construct an argument when every set of proof is considered a lie and propaganda.

No they usually abuse them so they wanna keep that under wraps, like the Catholic priests they kept moving from church to church instead of sending to the cops.

Ahh don’t we all love it when Republicans accuse everyone of cheating and then go out to cheat? I’m sorry you had to go through that

I imagine that- like their size- they wouldn’t want you to know

You’re deliberately ignoring our complaints- I was misled by your writing implying that the browser itself is completely closed source and that it’s impossible to inspect the inner workings of its adblock, which as pointed out to you is FALSE (because only the UI is closed source) and thus misleading. I am not going to talk to you about your strawman. I’m also not making any implications about required technical expertise to assess these adblocks, but if we are to go by your assumption, perhaps you are not qualified to make this article if you cannot get the data required to make a proper assessment? Either way, I’m not sure why you’re so against adding your article clearer- a few words would’ve done the job.

If you have examples, maybe you can report it on their issue tracker? I wish the browser had built-in ways to report problems like how amd’s bug reporter works

I was actually under the impression the whole browser was closed. Thanks for the clarification

I’m not the person who you’re replying to (just another reader) but I felt misled after reading the clarification here in the forums that the source IS available for the adblock portion. I was under the impression (from your article) that the users could not inspect the code at all because of the same wording the person calls out. If they (and obviously others like myself) were misled by the writing, would it not be better just to fix it instead of arguing?

Tbh Overwatch is already 8 years old. If they picked up the game as a teenager when it was most popular, chances are they can vote. While there are a lot of teens who play the game, there’s quite a large 20s demographic

I think that was demolition man, where only taco bell survived the franchise wars

IMO the problem is not that you can’t block them but tooling. It is true that with the appropriate tools and work you can farm the data yourself and get everyone’s votes, but realistically most people aren’t going to go out of their way to do that. I see no reason why this would make lemmy better and instead just gives ammunition to bad actors. The poster above you is asking why we need to do more things to avoid bad actors as an effect of the change instead of avoiding that outcome. We know there will be bad actors, but we don’t need to make things easy for them. Maybe you were never gonna stop the guy willing to make an instance and look through all your votes, but you’d stop all the ones who wouldn’t be willing to put in the effort.
