Imagine my shock of the voting process when moving from Texas to Oregon. From pulling teeth to vote to getting it delivered on a silver platter. It feels so unconstitutional down there.

Clearly not from the up votes on my original comment. But I’m glad you could masturbate your ego there for a bit. Hope the dopamine helped.

Lemmy is so much worse than reddit for this antisocial shit, it’s ridiculous. Only a handful of you seem to know how to continue a conversation without choosing to shoot snide remarks and condescension, then wonder why active users are dropping month over month.

I’ll cry into my filled weekend social life and life partner of over a decade, you pegged me just so accurately. Super relevant username btw.

Dude, you specified a company and I pointed out their parent company instead. I agreed with your original statement just indicated a better target. In the future, in social situations, a person who isn’t filled with angst would normally say something like “Oh you’re right, good call” or “Yeah, that would work too.” Something that adds to and continues the conversation instead of being a weird, defensive neckbeard about it. Have a good rest of your life, bud.

There’s no reason that people should assume you meant Alphabet rather than Google? Seeing as you used “Google” rather than “Alphabet” as they’re two different words. English is fun!

That needs to happen more with Alphabet than Google but either would be great.

I really want to see Peertube flourish but I’m just not sure it’s going to work out. Video streaming platforms are a much different beast than the micro blogs of Mastodon or forums of Lemmy. But, this is a good step in that direction so good luck to them.

Also from socialvideoplaza.com

This site is not a part of the YouTube website or Alphabet. Additionally, this site is not endorsed by YouTube in any way.

Your random quote from a random website doesn’t mean much against the experience of myself and others and how massively disliked videos still get tons of traffic. If you don’t want to see certain content don’t dislike, just keep moving and don’t engage at all. My feed only improved after doing this, when I was disliking videos I kept getting the content I disliked. I didn’t engage and now I don’t see content I don’t want to anymore.

I have never watched more than 10%

You gave 10% engagement and voted with your downvote! Double engagement!

As an Oregonian, yay!

I like visibility and accountability!

Let’s not pretend that all algorithms are the same.

But if we don’t, how can we act superior to people who use algorithm based platforms? /s

Captain Climate Change, and he’s coming with a vengeance.

Right on, actual helpful techniques/information instead of being condescending or belittling! It seems so rare in political threads, thank you.

An article on using the technique for those interested.

I can’t think of anything more specifically “reddit brain” than lumping Ajit Pai in with Hitler and of the hundreds of school shooting…

Nobody said they’re the same, just that if hell exists they’d all be there. They’re all just famous horrible people that are popular to talk about online, that’s what they have in common.

… including the one shooter that happened to be trans.

You have a point there, that was certainly a choice.

Jokes on her, I’m never going to be able to retire in our current system anyway!

Check mate 😏

so I don’t mind screwing things up a little bit.

Which you clearly did, and are trying to blame Edge. There’s plenty of things to shit on Edge for but user error is not one of them.

Enterprise IT infrastructure admin here, I’ve imaged thousands of windows laptops over a decade and dealt with Edge since it was implemented, never seen anything like this. I’m sure you’re confident in your abilities but you messed something up real bad or have malware of some kind. No question about it, this is not typical for any version of Edge.

Nobody is worshipping Bernie here, nobody said “King Bernie” and this straw man you constructed doesn’t exist. He just acted like an adult by calling out immature behavior and was praised for it. That’s it. What an odd, overly hostile reaction lol

If they’re defining the code then it might be really easy for them to follow, it just might not align with what we might think of as a code of ethics.

Some day we will be ashamed that we gleefully cheered for this

Who is gleefully cheering for this?

The GOP is attempting to destroy democracy, the Dems are not. The GOP are trying to subjugate me as a queer/trans person and POC as well, the Dems are not. The GOP are removing human rights from us, the Dems are not. The Dems are trying to pass green energy legislation, gun control laws, and more while the GOP are blocking it.

Those are some pretty good god damn reasons.
