they’re presenting the candidates differently, sure, but i honestly don’t know who you think this is favouring.

i can’t believe i just watched that whole thing. it was spellbinding, start to finish.

not very much. honestly, only once or twice, for a laugh, which is probably still more than most folks lol

look, if we didn’t count billionaires who come from lesser echelons of rich people, we wouldn’t have any ‘self-made’ billionaires at all.

frogger (1981) arcade machine at the local barcade, i think. sadly the place went out of business a little while back.

not sure i get why? they’ve already got these carts, and presumably have a gba to play them with. it’s not like nintendo gets a cut either way, since you’re only gonna find used copies.

what you wrote sounds completely insane to me. sure i don’t use a mouse on my phone very much, but no way would i ever prefer a trackpad to a mouse for a desktop or laptop. and tons of people still carry a mouse to use with their laptops, based on my observations. i really think you may be an outlier here.

trickle down boopenom… fuck everyone already made the same joke.

no, he’a dead. throat cancer.

Al Capone

pretty sure my uncle got put away for felonies ages ago.

pretty sure other people have been convicted of crimes before. he is fantastically old though. maybe he got sent to juvie back in his childhood hometown of Bedrock and was the first convicted criminal!

Nobody ever said less capable than Trump.

one nit to pick: i assure you, a lot of people harping on about biden’s ‘mental decline’ do in fact think trump is more capable, or at the very least are happy to claim to believe so. you’re clearly not one of them, but they exist in droves.

and if bernie had been elected, i suspect they’d make the same claims regardless of evidence to the contrary.

jeff bezos personally came to my apartment, punched me in the face, and stole the remote to my vibrating butt plug, and now he has power over my butt.

imagine if they had waited to invent lemmy until after reddit had shat the bed with the whole API fiasco. it’s better to have a backup ready to go.

i like my laptop cause i already have it, and have gotten to know it quite well over the past 16 years, but i wouldn’t recommend it. it would be nice to have more than 4gb of memory these days, cause i can’t have too many tabs open on firefox without it bogging down.

just a historical factoid that a lot of people don’t realize: the luddites weren’t anti technology without reason. they were apprehensive about new technology that threatened their livelihoods, technology that threatened them with starvation and destitution in the pursuit of profit. i think the comparison with opposition to AI is pretty apt, in many cases, honestly.

would a notification work? notify-send seems like it could fit the bill.

some ereaders do use android, my old onyx did, but honestly i much prefer the dedicated solution kobo has. they could use android, but if they’ve got the resources to make their own os targeting their actual use case instead of cramming a mobile phone os in there, why wouldn’t they? even their os has too much cruft for my taste, but it is a lot less than an android ereader.

second day you say? why, by then we can have the second backup bridge designed, printed, and installed next to the first, so that is not a problem. every two days, a new bridge.
