The election coverage this year has been really funny, they push debates like its a netflix show. Gotta pump up the viewership numbers for their favorite sports contest.

The realclearpolitics one is also good, because it averages odds from a few different betting markets.

Hedgedoc or etherpad work.

It’s the complete opposite.

• An African leader on the hypocrisy of those saying China is imperialist.
• China africa panel: if you want actual infrastructure, you go to China, not the west.
• Five imperialist myths about China’s role in Africa.

We use a different syntax for spoilers.

Political education in the US and many of the countries that hold these polls is awful. I’d trust a middle-schooler from Cuba, Vietnam, or China more than an ivy-league-educated polysci graduate when it comes to political awareness.

This is probably more of a symptom than a cause, but social media platforms pushing manosphere content isn’t helping.

That rabbit hole goes very deep, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to speak on it. It could very well be a crypto AG style honey-pot, or already cracked tech, that we might not know about for years to come.

Use the report button also to report transphobia, so we can get to it asap.

Cool, I originally thought about doing it that way, but maintaining allowlists and blocklists for all the different types of activities could get cumbersome (especially if we add things like blocking posts, comments, communities, messages, etc). But ya that’s a good issue to have.

It’s just some zionist’s blog site. You or I could make a site called official world bias meter and it’d be no more credible.

Even playing that way, monopoly is still a single-winner game of course, which is what elizabeth magie wanted to demonstrate.

Another other unintended lesson is that ruthless profit-seeking hacks will enclose / steal any idea or invention, reinvent it, and claim it as their own. It was and remains a model for silicon valley.

There is no reason to do any of that. No one forced signal to use phone numbers as their primary identifier, and plenty of privacy oriented chat programs don’t require that.

I’m sot trusting anything from signal themselves, just like I wouldn’t trust anything apple, microsoft, google, or any other US-based company with centralized services says about themselves.

Spoilers should be working fine on most clients, but it’s a front end thing.

Yep this has been a growing problem, with ppl using various alt accounts on different servers to downvote things. Usually it’s pretty obvious because these accounts are all from the same servers, and have little or no comments or posts.

With that setting you can be sure that all the votes at least are coming from your local users, keeping vote anonymity, and without disconnecting from the bigger servers.

A million Iraqi civilians died in the US wars on Iraq. They carpet bombed and let so many cities just burn.
