Some meme stuff, hexbear and lemmygrad basically.

These are a bit unique from the lists everyone else has, I think:

• Lemmy Keyboard Navigation (like the kbd shortcuts from RES)
• Google Popup Blocker (stop the annoying log in with Google popups everywhere on the web)
• OneTab (this one lets you collapse a whole window of tabs down into a list in the OneTab tab that you can later reexpand into a window again when you re-attack whatever subject all the tabs were about)

These are the more standard ones that everyone seems to run:

• UBlock Origin
• Reddit Enhancement Suite
• 2FAS Extension
• BitWarden

He wants a “hug”.

I hope like hell the sets of questions were randomized, because if they weren’t, they were tweaked by the surveyors beforehand to try and force a particular result.

Like the AI question was paired with some incredibly crappy options like “A browser that runs 2x slower than your current browser”. Obviously they want you to click that option as least wanted and leave the AI development alone (if that wasn’t a randomized grouping).

Similarly, it looked like they were trying to decide which feature to sacrifice in support of AI dev in later questions, because all 3 would be things I enjoy much more than AI, but I have to rate one as least wanted.

EDIT: OK, thanks for all the responses everyone! Looks like my pairing of AI and 2x slower was just a bad random selection inducing extreme paranoia on my part. Very happy to hear that.

Hopefully, citizen petitions are allowed on the ballot in your state, because it’s a fairly easy one to get on the ballot that way—a ton of people want it. Otherwise you’ll have to lobby your state congress critters, which unfortunately is not as easy…

Let’s put it this way, as long as Trump doesn’t win, I’m fine with the result. But given that the only viable candidate right now is Biden, or possibly Kamala Harris, who is already on the ticket anyway, I’ll be voting Biden simply to insure that Trump doesn’t win.

And if you think there isn’t that much difference between the two, read some summaries of what Trump plans to do via Project 2025.

So you don’t give a shit whether fascism wins? Cool cool, cool cool.

No, but if you’re not voting for whoever the Dem candidate is, you’re the one promoting fascism and an end to worker rights at this juncture, so… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

OK, so you can criticize real good. What’s your actual, legal plan to switch Democratic candidates at such a late date? Everyone loves to criticize Biden and play fantasy football about who they would pick, but as near as I can tell, the only other person who could legally be chosen is Kamala Harris.

Who is already on the ticket and will take over if something does happen to Biden. Oh, and if you think putting a black, female candidate up against Trump is suddenly going to win hearts and minds, then I have a Nigerian prince I’d like to put you in touch with for a small finders fee.

Actually, I am pretty sure this is a Russian bot account anyway, but what the heck, let’s see what your response is.

I believe in AZ it is on the ballot as a petition-based initiative in November. Because the Republican-majority congress wants nothing to do with it.

LOL…

Oh yeah, it would have all turned out much better under Trump! /s

Seriously though, he’s had a ridiculous congress to attempt to work with and he’s still gotten quite a few things done. Restarted FCC and FDA at their jobs of actually regulating. Infrastructure bills. Student loan relief. Airline accountability. Wiping out non-compete clauses by companies. Huge economic recovery from the hole Trump had dug for us.

All the people in here complaining they don’t like their choices. Holy fuck, those are the choices. You don’t get to change them in under half a year from the election, lol. We’ve already had the primaries. We have two old candidates. One is old and has been running the country successfully for nearing 4 years. One is a convicted felon with convictions ranging from fraud to sexual assault. Both have age-related health issues, but only one is promising to try and bring about the end of democracy in this country via Project 2025 if elected.

If you want to change your choices next time, support some form of ranked voting in your state next time so that you can vote for the wild progressive candidate, but also rank the one you think is likely to win under that.

This is hilarious. The dude is running the country quite well right at this moment. Stop buying into the BS hype the press is trying to foment for click-bait profits.

He’s running the freaking country right now and has been for the last 3 and a half years. The “he’s old” crowd don’t seem to get that he’s old and effective?

Pretty hopeful this is a joke? Please?

Because if not, getting a scratch on the side of your ear doesn’t change the fact he’s been not only tried but convicted of sexual assault, election tampering and fraud. Juries and judges got to look at the actual evidence (not the lies he spews on a minute-by-minute basis) and found him guilty.

I mean… what’s wrong with stuff like the Fediverse just gradually strangling the commercially-driven internet? I pay a couple bucks a month to a number of different Fediverse providers and if everyone does that, they’ll likely be able to stay self-sufficient and community-oriented. I honestly don’t mind paying websites directly in that fashion as long as my data is portable and not for sale, whereas I know that if I let most commercial websites have my data, they will sell it to whomever and however many times they are capable of, all while enshitifying the user experience on their website as much as possible without making everyone leave completely.

It’s the most frustrating business model possible and why I refuse to give them any more traction than they already have.

Putin’s chaos unit is outdoing themselves this election. And apparently the NYT are playing on Putin’s team this time too.

The Republicans can get together behind a convicted rapist and fraudster with his own dementia and age issues, because they are capable of voting as a fucking block. As Democrats, we have to be able to do that too by ALL showing up at the polls and voting Biden. It’s not rocket science! At 55% voter turnout, Trump wins. At 60%, Biden wins, but barely. At 65% voter turn out, he wins by a wide margin. FFS, just show up and vote.

The man has been running the country successfully for 3.5 years so far and worst case, Kamela takes over mid-season. And since she’s the only candidate that could access the election fund and she’s already on the ticket, what even is the point of these idiots trying to change horses mid-stream because they can’t see the big picture and stick with a plan? Argh, this makes me so mad…
