⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨are there bots that downvote every comment users have?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
Votes mean less on Lemmy than they did on Reddit. So we can sweat it less what people do with them. Not a big deal.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached?⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
They do. That’s why voter suppression is such a big factor in every election.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached?⁩ ⁨⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t think that your assumptions are true. Non-voters tend to be more progressive than voters, because conservatives vote religiously out of a sense of duty and responsibility, and progressives vote when they feel like it.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
“FLOSS”?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What programs do you wish a good FOSS alternative existed, but doesn't or most of the FOSS alternatives simply aren't good?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The entire phone-based ecosystem.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The Dungeon already sort of gave up on the original design. Philip Price wrote The City and the extension mechanism that things were supposed to plug into, but The Dungeon didn’t use any of it. So it was a one-way trip… Except you couldn’t actually transfer characters, it was broken. :-/
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The cancelled suite of Alternate Reality games.

All available evidence suggests otherwise.

on grinder… still don’t know what the sound is. :-(
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Alternatively, why wait twice as long for your python code to execute as you have to?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I use Blender for that, too
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I use Blender for video editing, and as long as I never use another video editing package, I am sure to remain perfectly happy with Blender.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Truthiness is so fundamental, all values have a truthiness, whether they are bool or not. Even in C, int x = value(); if (!x) x_is_not_zero(); is valid and idiomatic.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The main thing not is for is coercing a truthy value into an actual bool.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Python Performance: Why 'if not list' is 2x Faster Than Using len()⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Strongly disagree that not x implies to programmers that x is a bool.

you’re an optimist

The US economy is going TO THE MOON!! HODL!!!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

Then the new owners were only doing it for the money.

As opposed to what reason for owning a factory??
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They pay WOULD be astronomical if it had kept pace with CEOs.

Kind of sucks when you outsource all of your manufacturing …

It’s kind of awesome for everyone if you don’t piss off your trading partners. It happens in the first place because it’s better for everyone involved! It’s a consensual arrangement that parties only engage in because it is in their interests.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The ole’ carnist blind spot. It is extremely fatiguing to hold contradictory beliefs as you do, and to have to constantly edit your thoughts to protect yourself from the profound psychological effects of such contradictions.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are most people here left-wing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

I believe all life have value, no matter what.

I am also vegan.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Trump’s notional plan is to replace income/gains tax (on the wealthy) with tariffs. I have not heard of any meaningful uses being reserved for other nation’s retaliatory tariffs. Logically and morally they should be going to relieve the burden of the US tariffs, but I have never heard how that might intend be accomplished.

Exactly the two events that got me on and off Reddit.

Jesus. Okay. So when you say, “being short sighted”, you don’t literally mean they have myopia. You mean it figuratively. Exactly like the person you are correcting clearly means it figuratively when they say “short-term memory”.
