Why would anyone care about an hour-long toy commercial?

Or use the first name "Mike"

It's a generation gap thing: If you're online, are you representing your employer and, therefore, must be on your best behavior, or are you only representing yourself, and everyone else ought to recognize that? NASA feels it's the former.

Yes, most developers aren't very skilled, as you apparently aren't.

Learning multiple languages isn't hard if you know what you're doing. Thinking it's impossible says a lot about you.

I'm aware of how you think it should work (Usenet, basically) but how does moderation actually work on Lemmy? Can someone be banned from a sublemmy on one instance and not banned from it on another?

I don't want to share an instance with the nutballs on the tankie instance or the nutballs on the fascist instance.

The media is interested in a horse race. Horse races sell ads. Therefore, they need to make Biden seem unpopular with mainstream Democrats (so there's somehow Controversy over whether an incumbent President should run) and they do that by painting him as being purely a Not-Trump. Because the alternative is that Biden runs in 2024 without any drama and defeats Trump like he did in 2020, and foregone conclusions don't sell advertising space, even if they're good for the country.

Plus, of course, you have grifters like the people pulling RFK Jr's strings and Cornel West and whoever else, who need to seem relevant in order to get "low-information voters" (idiots) to donate to their campaigns which are Definitely Not book tours in disguise.

Chromium browsers don't allow extensions (uBlock Origin being the best) to block ads as effectively due to their implementation of Manifest V3. The Firefox implementation doesn't share that limitation.
