Likely as not, person charged with crime is in custody. Police force person to unlock phone, then police install malware and wait for comms to come in.

The nostalgia of this comment, chef's kiss

It's a contentious topic, I understand.

I said nothing about a rigged system. Just that polls have an inherent bias.

Pasted my comment from elsewhere here to support the argument.

The way in which most polls are conducted is often biased towards older voters as they’re often phone calls. How many young people are answering phonecalls from unknown numbers? Also the sources pollsters get their numbers from are also often biased as well.

Here’s a report from Pew Research who make their money from polls, so this is the rosiest of takes on it https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/09/21/does-public-opinion-polling-about-issues-still-work/

Here’s a take from the Times and what they’re trying to do about it. I’ve pasted the archive.is link https://archive.is/sQ5Vi

And here’s a report from journalists that doesn’t profit from polling https://theweek.com/politics/2024-election-polls-accuracy

Yeah, shows that the internal client is researching security topics

Sounds like the kind of oversight that tends to come with a union and the representation therein.

I would hate to work where you developed the idea a protected main/prod branch is something novel.

That depends on what you run it on.

 

This isn't about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That's pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I'm also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion.

I'm not even talking about necessarily in this community directly, however in a lot of other spaces I've noticed a lot of accounts using divisive language and terms like "The ineffectual left" "single issue voters" "ignorant right wing morons". Lots of straw man arguments, lots of willful ignorance.

I'm not a centrist, I'm very very very far left however I know well enough not to patently dismiss the talking points of others, outside of course calls to genocide. I know what dog whistles sound like, and I'm hearing a lot of them lately.

Most egregiously I'm seeing very long form post replies that read very much like what is generated from LLMs.

So I guess my question is, how're we all fairing with what might be the largest Turing test ever?
