The verification email won’t show up. I’m stuck.

Me and all my brothers (grew up Mormon, I have many brothers) quit both reddit, and now discord.

The shit he’s pulling lately, getting voter rolls, admitting to the fact doge was just a way to steal data specifically for the started purpose of election interference, the midterms are either not going to happen, or be totally bogus

I used Nova for as long as it’s been a thing. Paid for pro. Abandoned it immediately after they released the news a few weeks ago about the tracking and ads.

I switched to Octopi Launcher. It’s really good, and in active development. Author listens to his users and is always adding fun new features.

Searched “Epstein” and got no results so… Plus it seems we’re a few hundred thousand documents short from the required release

I’ve had an ETROBOT backlit keyboard for years, was a Christmas present a long time ago. Has blue switches. Love it. Don’t know if you can buy them any more, probably some random Chinese brand.

Very clicky, not sure if I recommend blue for a shared office, bit WFH and you’re fine.

Trump is invading Venezuela so we can be at war for the midterms, so they likely won’t happen

If only

I wish we had a mechanism of voting a deeply unpopular president out early. I think that’s a loophole that needs to be filled if we ever get another election

This post was just a couple below for me, ironic: https://lemmy.ca/post/53325803

This is the point that I think a lot of people miss. Yes, people will still have unlawful access to guns, specifically those who don’t care about laws in the first place. But I would just about bet my house that since guns in general are so much harder to get there, that it’s also harder for said criminal (or aspiring criminal) to obtain one.

Plus it’s barely the criminals doing mass shootings (speaking as an American), it’s usually some depressed white dude who just happens to have access to a firearm that they’re not qualified to operate. The gangs and criminals that have weapons generally speaking, only use them on each other (accidents and exceptions obviously occur).

The question is how does America, in its current firearm saturation, hit the same goal. I think it would take a generation for all the guns from legal owners to be turned in or recycled, because most don’t want to give them up. If the government immediately required special permits and only allowed for specific uses and types of arms, there would likely be a legitimate organized revolt from gun nuts.

I just uninstalled Reddit and installed Sync for Lemmy. I’ll still end up on reddit occasionally from a Google search result or something, but I don’t go there intentionally.

Not always, but usually. We can hope!

The good “creators” to follow for news generally provide a summary in Tiktok, then if you want to verify or learn more they have additional information and sources in their other locations (substack is a big one)

I can generally tell if it’s AI generated, and if I have any suspicion then I try to find other reports and real sources via Google searches and whatnot. Like I didn’t believe the gold trump statue, or the trump and Epstein statue were real.

There’s a great deal of real news that goes through the app. It’s the majority of the content I see.

Anyone notice how long it took for that one image to paint? Thing must be like 70MB. Far beit for me to expect any amount of web optimisation from this admin

Does that mean straight? Like, 1x gay, same gender attraction, 2x gay, “opposite” attraction again?

She’s only doing it to keep her seat. Should still be replaced. While she’s weirdly actually doing her doing her actual job and listening to her constituents, it’s just a stop-gap until she’s reelected, then she’ll go back to shouting “Jewish space lasers” or whatever the hell and pandering to whatever Republican president is in office.

That would be nice. Hugely impractical. Especially with today’s government. Pretty sure no fault divorce is going to be revoked soon, so it’ll only get worse.

Also, was not suggesting that abusive relationships would be enough to swing the election one way or the other, only that this is a valid concern that needs addressed before any sweeping change.
