She was a bad candidate, basically a bad clone of Biden and we can see who won and who didn’t. Americans are not that smart and they only care about the president. Everyone else they vote purely on blue or red lines regardless.

Let’s be honest. It wasn’t because of any leftist that she lost. It’s because she is a woman of color. Racism and misogyny is very well alive and has power in the USA. If they put another white man with the exact some politics then trump would have lost. Everyone wants to argue over silly points missing the clear truth of how backwards and messed up the USA still is.

Ehh I have the most faith in matrix but it definitely isn’t perfect and barely a discord replacement .
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 1 week ago:
I think that is one of the problems. People want an exact copy of discord but don’t ask if discord even has the perfect layout and if it should be copied directly. Anyway there are clients like cinny which look similar and other chat platforms like stroat(previously revolt) and spacebar which look exactly like discord and they are not doing massively well either so shrugs.

lol damn it does. I quickly skimmed it but my brain skipped that part.
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 1 week ago:
Matrix is probably the most well funded and supported open source platform that might be able to compete with Discord but even then it’s not a fair fight.
Sadly most people won’t leave discord. People will forget about this next week.

I’m guessing the shell is made from gelatin or something? Which is made from animal bones. I can’t think of what else would be made from animal.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 2 weeks ago:
I mean they all do. Big corporations are not our friend. Some are good at making us feel like friends but truly at the end of the profit matters.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 2 weeks ago:
I am pretty sure they only do in attempt to attract devs. Once Epic were to get a majority position in the market they would quickly raise it to 30% too. None of these companies are “good guys” or actually care about the end consumer.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 3 weeks ago:
The ecosystem is really seamless, especially with a MacBook and Apple watch in the mix.
Though I don’t think there is any winning in the smartphone space. There is a duopoly and even if you personally use graphineOS you still are benefitting and helping the Google ecosystem by using Android apps.
Sadly I don’t think we can “vote with our wallets” on smartphones. We need legal legislation that forces both Apple and Google to be consumer friendly.

Ya a few apps already do this. YouTube premium does for sure and I have heard a few others doing so.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 3 weeks ago:
Ya I always subscribe on the website. Google and Apple have both charged extra fees for monthly subscriptions bought within the app.
- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 3 weeks ago:
Iirc it has to do with “monthly subscriptions” and they are arguing that Patreon is a monthly subscription and those get charged at the higher amount.
It’s why subscribing to YouTube premium within iOS app costs more because Google just makes up the difference that way.
Not that’s it’s right but it’s really debatable if Patreon should be considered a monthly subscription the same way streaming services are.

Also I just noticed that the borders no longer line up and it looks like there is ocean in between which isn’t the case. So I shows the size more accurately but is not useable as a map really.
- Comment on Denominator, go Mercator 3 weeks ago:
How can it be the true size if it’s still a projection on a 2d surface? I thought could only see the true size on a 3d globe.

Many do but it’s a nightmare for SEO. When people use Substack or Medium it’s because they have built in social network that allows strangers to easily find your blog. Sadly independent blogs don’t really make money unless you are already famous with a network to follow you.

They are based out of the USA aren’t they? Luckily there are many Nextcloud providers in EU and email like mailbox.org
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 1 month ago:
Linux as we know it being very customizable and having many choices will never work for mass market. If Linux becomes a truly mass market consumer OS then it will be within walled garden of a large corporation like Google or others.
Everyday people want a computer with a brand name they recognize and for it to just work with all the big name software they know already. They likely won’t even know they are using Linux, it’s something us nerds will know but to them they are just using Google, Microsoft, Meta, or whoever else gets Linux to mass adoption.

10 out of a 1000 to 30ish out of a 1000 doesn’t even seem like a massive increase, especially if it’s really due to something like a pain medication that is taken by a huge population. Which it’s not as it’s more related to improvements in diagnosing.
I guess they are just hoping people see bar go up and therefore bad.
