A big issue that I don’t see being discussed a lot is that randomized polling has become more difficult as less people are willing to pick up their phone for unknown numbers nowadays.
Most polling is now opt-in, meaning that the data will be biased towards the groups who want to express their opinions the most (this tends to be the far right). Not saying the polling is wrong but perhaps not entirely accurate
Isn’t this the one that was shown to have biased data due to opt-in polling? Randomized polling shows less of a divide and more liberal views amongst young people. I can’t find it right now though
that’s fair. I fully believe they could pull some fuckery that would make everything worse
honest question: why does it matter? all data in any fediverse project is public anyways
Once I started taking medication and doing work that I enjoy, I haven’t been bored a single day.
However, being overwhelmed is an agonizing constant in my life
yeah i’m gonna agree and it’s also the fact that scott is supposed to be attractive and charming (not to make a dig at michael cera), which is why is can get away with being a loser
that’s good, i can’t really remember the movie tbh. i just see a lot of people who misrepresent the story are usually talking about the movie
the film doesn’t explore it as well as the comics did, but the story is about scott being a shitty, under-developed 23 year old. he is confronted with his past and forced to reckon with how terribly he has treated the women in his life. scott is supposed to help ramona defeat her evil ex-boyfriends but is faced with that prospect that he could become one if he doesn’t become a better person. i’d really recommend reading it as the film gives the wrong impression of the story
The more likely reason for blacklisting the developer is to cause a chilling effect on other developers. Apple has one of the best developer ecosystems and Meta is likely terrified of letting their developers anywhere near Apple. Having good apps is so important to a platform
ok i see and yeah i agree to an extent. i’m assuming you don’t like the current state of twitter either? your initial comment was pretty ambiguous. unfortunately, i don’t think you can have something similar and as popular as twitter without it turning into a mess. so yeah, bluesky will likely just be twitter again but that’s what people seem to want. attempts to do something different just don’t have any mainstream appeal.
i’m gonna assume you haven’t read the manga and i will warn that this question invites a lot of spoilers
I’ve always wondered if it would help to have to reply in order to give an up/downvote but I assume it would likely just result in more spam. Still, I hope people are thinking of new ways to try things
Me when I write the command to burn down my entire computer and it does exactly what I asked it to
Normalize software letting you fuck around and find out
I’m not entirely sure and I could be wrong, but I think it was for security/efficiency and was not a popular idea. From what I can gather: in Lemmy all upvotes and downvotes are tied directly to the post so it shouldn’t be an issue here
Iirc it’s due to the way federation works. You can see the real number of boosts but the favourites only show the amount from people who are on the same server as you. It’s not reflective of the real number
Is it weird that I’m always excited to read the update posts?
I’m sick of the Luddite slander. They were completely right and people need to know
