Maybe related to massive mail voting - just speculation haven’t seen breakdowns.

Isn’t this something like the 100th attempt at making air taxis happen? I guess the idea is too shiny to not attract new money every decade or so.

If Harris made such a serious departure from reality as to claim that you’re allowed to murder live children it would be front page news for 6 months and be talked about for decades.

He had knowledge and connections to the upper echelons and he couldn't make it, and when health concerns arose he went back to his money because it sucks to be working poor and in need of medical assistance.

The Indonesian President - if I'm not mistaken.

A bit clickbaity..

configured it to be fully exposed with no firewall and no anti-virus software

And I'm also assuming this was then exposed directly to the internet like a server, not behind a NAT or anything like that.

I mean you're setting up a 20 yo unpatched consumer lever OS to fail for the giggles and you kneecap it on top of it - which is fine, but hardly surprising.

I hope this is clever marketing from the developer because I had never heard of this game until now and also because I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would abuse an indie developer for $2.

I understand some people might do that, but they'd have to be a tiny percentage.

The sweet irony of trying to make fun of people while being unable to spell a country's name though..

Also, neither the British nor the Canadian current health ministers are those pictured.

This is their classic pincer maneuver employed by the establishment - and it works really well: the left wing candidate is both too left and not left enough.

You see it in every election.

It works so well because they own mainstream media so they can run all narratives at the same time as opinion pieces to hamstrung the left. That's how the ratchet works also.

Daily Mail trash tabloid

Given that Firefox is now faster than Chrome I see no reason to remain.

Inertia will keep a train going for a while, as the engine dies.

The people that are now on lemmy were the heaviest users. The ones that bought 5 different apps to improve their experience and figure out which one they preferred : the mods, the creators, etc.

Have they all left Reddit completely? Probably not, but now they split their time. And stats say the proportion on Lemmy is increasing.

We now have an opportunity not only replace but contribute in the creation of something new - new mechanics, new rules and more.

Reddit is tired and has been for a while, Lemmy developers are building the Reddit they always wanted, and are innovating at breakneck speed.

Simple things like Top by 1, 6, 12 hours which we now have here, was badly needed in Reddit but they were too busy trying to shoehorn video and flairs.
