No thanks, our conservatives are further to the left than your Democrats, and California has the population of the rest of Canada combined. You can make your own country

Yeah, it does. But I think the intent of “Magastan” is to draw a comparison to “those countries”. But this is stooping down to Trump’s level imo

Don’t sully the “-stan” countries like that, they don’t deserve that association.

You can always do that manually when creating the post

True, but you won’t. You’ll click the button that automatically populates it instead.

I do think AI could enforce having a quick summary at a glance… if it was reliably accurate. But again, why do that and prevent traffic from going to the people who did all the work

Yeah, that’s why I don’t like the summary idea, because then even fewer people would click through. It also requires opening the comments which also most people won’t do.

I guess fewer people click through with less sensational headlines too, but at least they’re not mislead.

I know we all hate AI here… But getting an AI to rewrite headlines to de-sensationalize them sounds like a fantastic feature for a Lemmy client to implement. Just need mods to allow it

I can quit anytime. Right after I see what’s after the next blind.

Balatro

Not really, he was already insanely popular before this. Just won a third majority a week ago, which is unheard of in Ontario politics. It’s more that he knows how to connect with people and the electorate is very gullible / willing to turn a blind eye.

With all this recent goodwill he’ll probably end up being our prime minister at some point shudder

3. You know Putin would throw every possible resource into influencing that election. He’s damn good at it now too

A 50/50 split on two candidates is literally as divided as it’s possible to be.

Because like it or not, actually paying for stuff is the only way to save journalism and by extension our democracies.

The alternative is to link shitty clickbait / AI spam. At least this way:

1. People might be encouraged to pay for journalism.
2. There are many ways to bypass the paywall for those who won’t or can’t pay.

Please don’t ban paywalls.

The real question is whether they’ll still want in after the US is done with whatever it is they’re doing to it.

At least you aren’t going to die becoming a southern belle.

He’s not even the worst president this month.

Lots of people mentioning collaboration / multiple users, yet all your replies seem to completely ignore this aspect. I’m guessing you might live alone and are struggling to imagine some very common use cases here.

Why not both?

I use syncthing for transferring files around my local network, and nextcloud for sharing files with others.

IMO these are related tools but designed with very separate use cases. Use the right tool for the job.

No upside to Americans maybe. Tweets like this are intended for the electorates of their respective countries, where hating on Trump is still a very easy way to win favourability.

I don’t buy this. He’s driven by his ego more so than money at this point. Influencing world events makes him feel warm and fuzzy.

I’ll be back in five moons, we’re running out of mammoth meat (translation)

Yeah same. I’m not sure why that would make it a top 6 though
