Even Harris would probably be better than Newsom, and nearly any other Democrat would also be better than Harris.

Between this and Vance distancing himself from Trump, I guess posturing for the 2028 presidential election is now in full swing.

Nearly any other Democrat would be better than Newsom.

Many schools wouldn’t be able to afford Kagi just for their students to search the web though; DDG would be much more viable for that purpose.

Relying on a single party to be the standard bearer for their policies would be dooming those policies half of the time; cherry picking favorable candidates from both parties moves the overton window for an issue in their favor. If anything, that agreement is then celebrated as a rare instance of bipartisanship while congresspeople debate other issues.

Just like with the oil lobby and AIPAC, the tech lobby hedges their bets by lobbying members of Congress in both parties to ensure their preferred legislative outcomes regardless of the broader political landscape.

Given that astroturfing is rampant on Reddit, I wouldn’t be surprised if product breakdowns are more common than even the Reddit comments would on average let on.

‘Flip’ wasn’t the right word for it, but they ultimately still succeeded in replacing what would have been a Democratic member of the House with a Republican one.

Polls were open 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday, and election officials were urging voters to be patient.

Voters shouldn’t have to be patient; voting infrastructure should be planned with sufficient resources and redundancies to ensure all votes are recorded quickly. Long waiting times in states like Mississippi intentionally disenfranchises voters who cannot take off work and might not want to wait in line for an extended amount of time after work (if their shift even allows for that) before heading home.

The new congressional map Republicans drew yielded them no gains — in fact, they lost one seat overall.

It still allowed them to minimize the loss to only one member of the House; of their five attempts, they successfully flipped the 32nd district Republican.

The Daily Wire distorts the news even more than Fox does.

Yet another reason for people to vote tomorrow.

Most of your comments try to mix witty remarks based on the contents of the associated article in a way that reeks of AI.

When accounting for all defederations between all instances with at least 50 MAU (as of when I last checked in August, at least), the only instances that are defederated with over 5% of other Threadiverse users (inbound or outbound) are lemmygrad.ml, hexbear.net, fedinsfw.app, forum.guncadindex.social, and lemmy.1095.me, none of which are oriented towards the average user moving over from Reddit anyhow.

Less defederation on average is better, but defederation is not a huge problem as it stands, particularly if you pick an instance known to use it minimally such as lemmy/piefed.zip.

3D anime characters seem to be more of a novelty than anything, but I still think it’s a shame that the 3DS’s 3D feature didn’t get used in titles later in the console’s lifespan. Compared to the instability of it on the original 3DS, the New 3DS perfected it.

Reddit continues to be the biggest hurdle to Lemmy’s growth; the average person doesn’t care about how much private companies profit off of their personal data, so convincing them to leave the vastly bigger platform for Lemmy is a challenge.

Completely ignoring Reddit and its potential user migration opportunities would be dooming the Threadiverse to not gaining any new users from the most likely place those users would be.

If someone subscribes to a blocklist on a remote instance and that remote instance shuts down, would that blocklist still work (and just no longer get updates)?

According to Huffman, Reddit has grown to the point where personalization is increasingly necessary to help users find relevant communities and discussions.

More lies from Spez.

The change could also benefit Reddit’s advertising business by allowing it to serve more personalized ads

The actual reason.

Wall Street calls that an asset light strategy. Nvidia calls it demand. The thieves call it same day delivery.

That’s a very AI way of phrasing it.

In at least one case I noticed that the prices on their app were lower than the ones in the store itself.

In any case, dollar stores do not save consumers money in most cases. They just sell smaller-sized products at higher markups per serving.
