TheRazorX,

Bingo.

I have people who I actually want to receive calls from on the "pass through" list, but when I just want to relax? Everyone else goes straight to voicemail.

TheRazorX,

Normalize turning on DND permanently.

My reddit web viewer still works! Story: When reddit killed 3rd party apps, I uploaded a web viewer I have been using for myself to Github pages for everyone to use... (rdx.overdevs.com)

I posted about that here and forgot < lemmy.world/post/896361> but today when I checked cloudflare analytics it showed about 1000 pageviews in last 24 hours. Looks like some people are using it so just wanted to let you guys know that it works, no ads. no popups nothing.

TheRazorX,

Definitely upload it.

TheRazorX,

Skepticism is healthy in this day and age, but that site is also biased btw. Even the founder says their methodology isn't unbiased.

When determining bias, there isn’t any true scientific formula that is 100% objective. There are objective measures that can be calculated, but ultimately there will be some subjective judgment to determine these. We have put up a scale with a yellow dot on each page that shows the degree of bias for each source. Each page also has a “detailed report” section that gives some details about the source and explains their bias.

When calculating bias, we are looking at political bias, how factual the information is, and links to credible, verifiable sources. Therefore, the yellow dot may indicate political bias or how factual a source is, or in many cases, both. It is important to note that our bias scale is based on the USA political scale, which may differ from other countries. For example, the Democratic Party of the USA is considered centrist or even right-center in many countries worldwide; however, in the USA, they are considered Left-Center. Please keep this in mind if our ratings seem off in your native country. (08/08/2022)

It's a site run by one guy and 3 volunteers. Not really the greatest source.

TheRazorX,

I'll believe it when I see it.

I absolutely believe the IRS needs to be funded enough to go after these ghouls (aka the opposite of "Starve the Beast"), but the first thing they did after the last increase in funding was go after people that sold more than 600$ a YEAR online (Ebay, Mercari...etc.) despite "The IRS insists it will not be targeting low to middle-income households"

They only delayed it for one year after the outcry. So yeah, I'll believe it when I actually see it.

TheRazorX,

The top three are also nations where toilet paper is not available and you have to use your hands to wipe.

Where in the world are you getting this from?

They have Toilet paper, They also have Bidets.

TheRazorX,

Ah yes, the typical two-sideism crap.

Well if Aljazeera is the problem in your eyes, do you also think Ynet which reported it in the first place and shows pictures (which is what Aljazeera based their report on had you bothered to read the article), is also biased?

TheRazorX,

Remember when the Afghan people had a phenomenally well equipped and well trained army, and then they just gave up inside a week because things were “hard”?

You didn't read the Afghanistan Papers did you?

TheRazorX,

They're mostly a bunch of neo-colonists that believe in western exceptionalism and won't spend any time learning about the country the west occupied for over 20 years, let alone the complicated dynamics of the country.

I mean legit half the comments are variants of "We need to civilize the savages".

Reminds me of all the crocodile tears against leaving Afghanistan in the first place "Think of the women!" they cried, well what happened when the country was dealing with a famine (which of course impacted millions of Afghani women) and the US stole half of Afghani assets at a time they desperately needed it? crickets.

Propaganda is a hell of a drug.

TheRazorX,

After 9/11, USA went into a bloodlust, invading Afghanistan because they (Taliban) wanted proof that Osama bin Laden was involved with the terrorist attack first. bin Laden fled to Pakistan, but the USA didn’t invade them, nor threatened to. Instead, USA just kept their boots on foreign soil because, hey, free real state and cheap poppy, amirite?

Just to add to your point.

From way before 9-11

Before the Invasion

After the invasion.

Instead of just flat out hating on them and calling them lazy, maybe do some research into why there are so many non-voters.

And yes, suppression IS a big enough reason to. Who the fuck on an hourly wage has the luxury of driving/transiting to a distant poll station and wait in line for 9+ hours to vote?

But hey, if it makes you feel better to dunk on them as "Lazy", keep at it, that's sure to convince them /s

Edit: Forgot to mention that you assume all these non-voters would vote for your party. Based on research, a very sizable portion would not.

TheRazorX,

People like that person would rather hate and feel morally superior than spend 5 minutes understanding the reasons.

TheRazorX,

People should really read the Afghanistan Papers. It makes the picture much clearer on why this epidemic is so ... muted.

TheRazorX,

The hilarious part (in a bleak fashion), is I can't find many other articles discussing this.

Then everyone will panic and go crazy when someone like Trump wins and they have access to all this. History repeats.

TheRazorX,

did nothing besides force people to pay for private insurance that covers nothing.

Which also as a result gave insurance companies even more money to use to fight against any reform to healthcare.

They use our own money against us, and it's insane we keep letting them, but rock and hard place.

I’m still uninsured, nothing has changed for me since the ACA. Here’s the thing – I’m not interested in “incremental generational change”, because I need healthcare myself in my lifetime. And I’m especially not interested in hearing that rhetoric from politicians who get a supermajority and do nothing with it.

I've lost good friends to healthcare costs. Incremental change doesn't mean shit to me anymore. They're dead, they're not coming back.

TheRazorX,

Is there a toggle to show NSFW or something, cause I haven't seen any.

TheRazorX,

Does no one remember the "Real Id" saga anymore?

TheRazorX,

“These updates depend on many device-specific non-Google hardware and software providers that work with Google to provide the highest level of security and stability support,” said Peter Du, communications manager for ChromeOS. “For this reason, older Chrome devices cannot receive updates indefinitely to enable new OS and browser features.”

Bull. Shit.

TheRazorX,

This feels like one of two things;

1- Their threats aren't actually working, and they don't have enough quality mods to replace the ones they've overthrown (as evidenced by subs where the mod teams were nuked remaining frozen)

2- PR move to pretend like they're listening and reduce anger.

Seriously, what is the point of this attempt AFTER they've nuked so many mods and users?

Edit: I feel like this comment is right on the money

wasure_boshi

better yet, they will listen but only in "small groups" of people "they pick" as to curate the the overall mod "response" and then will claim that all mods across all communities will share this same slated opinion.

Watch.

TheRazorX,

By the way, this announcement helped me solve where the ugly pixelated Reddit app logo is from: you can see it in Reddit’s r/Place announcement video. For some reason, that video also includes pixelated images of a fire in a garbage can.

Brutal.

TheRazorX,

Run weighted polls to make big decisions in your community, like getting input on rules changes or deciding how to distribute Points.

Unlike regular polls, these polls give a larger voice to people who have contributed more to the community. The more Community Points someone has earned, the more weight their vote carries

Am I the only one that thinks this is a horrible idea considering the creator to lurker ratio?

Hot take: 18 years of user contributions to reddit will serve as a base model for an AI that generates content and conversations. the reddit experience continues as a simulation, to harvest clicks, sales and ad revenue.

most of the time you'll be talking to a bot there without even realizing. they're gonna feed you products and ads interwoven into conversations, and the AI can be controlled so its output reflects corporate interests. advertisers are gonna be able to buy access and run campaigns. based on their input, the AI can generate...

TheRazorX,

Another stealth benefit to reddit with all this API crap, is that it'll be much harder to tell since most of the tools people use to analyze accounts won't work anymore. Keeping in mind Reddit started out by inflating their user numbers.
