Does such a thing exist? Patent pending…
skisnow@lemmy.cato A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Axios used AI to fake an opinion pollEnglish9·2 days agoFunny thing, every now and then someone makes these questionnaire websites where you answer questions about policy and it tells you which party is most in alignment. Pretty much universally most people turn out to be more to the left than their voting history and intentions would suggest.

Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.
I’m not about to claim they’re saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you’re going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.

skisnow@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•White House App Found Tracking Users' Exact Location Every 4.5 Minutes via Third-Party ServerEnglish23·11 days agoOne thing I don’t think has got enough attention is the fact that it does a fetch from Truth Social as well, which means Trump personally gets at least some indirect data on the app’s users on a server that isn’t even slightly controlled or contracted by the government.
I’ve only just realized how wrong the physics was on that. If your ship is already rotating at the same angular velocity as the space station, then it doesn’t make sense that you have to keep tapping left to maintain it.
It also would have been nice if it either counted you docked before the window filled the whole screen, or at least provided some sort of inner line/box so you could see what the rotation was doing in the final half second…
This is like criticizing a sports team: “Wait, so it’s good for YOU to get the ball in the basket, but it’s bad for THEM to get the ball in the basket?”.
This is an extremely Trump-like view, that foreign policy is a zero-sum game with a winner and a loser, and the object is to win.
demand I lay my childhood bare?
I did absolutely nothing of the sort. You’re getting yourself worked up into a frothing rage over something that you’re completely imagining. You sound demented.
I’m not interested in playing this game.
Yeah you don’t get to take a pop at everyone else in the thread and then get all on a high horse when you get some extremely mild blowback. Get over yourself.
Maybe I’m thick but that seems like the answer is the same as it is for anyone selling something on a website without blockchain.
