Afaik, votes are visible to server admins (because admins hold the keys to the DB) and server admins can proliferate information however they want. With anyone being able to be a server admin, there isn’t much you can do about it.

The people who can get holidays off are generally the people who have the means to vote otherwise.

Until the last few years, the only time I had holidays off were if I could get someone to switch with me, meaning at least someone was working that day.

Labor day didn’t mean shit to me working at fast food, and retail has sales instead of closing.

Walmart ain’t closed on labor day and neither is McDonald’s.

That’s the first and second largest employers in the world, not respecting the holiday literally made for their employees.

If your video can be replaced by a title, it probably wasn’t with watching

I usually store food on them

Is a plate optical or magnetic?

You understand that the bread is in the bag already right?

No I don’t, care to share?

Facebook’s Shadow profile on you doesn’t care whether you have an account or visited their site.

Why create accounts now? If .world splits off, you can just create an account on another instance at that point.

I don’t understand why you think I, someone advocating against pet ownership, would be for dog food?

A printer is an interesting example, because for many people a 3d printer is just a means to an end, there is a big difference between hot rodding a used $70 ender in order to print 10 minute benches, and buying a prusa or bambu in order to manufacture parts for their business.

These two sides get conflated a lot, with conversations leaning between them and people missing the other sides point, there is a sliding scale with a lot of hobbies with this I think.

Something like skateboarding as an example, has a much larger percentage of hobbyists versus professionals, so the conversation is easier to maintain.

Why do you keep animals shackled in your home, perform surgeries on them, remove their agency.

Having a pet at all is antithetical to vegan ideology, and making a decision about their diet (without their consent, because animals can’t consent) is exactly what you are attacking others for.

Don’t want to feed a cat meat? Easy solution, don’t have it as a pet, it’s not your choice to make in the first place.

Yea and that’s more than half of the cars driven in the United States.

RICO laws basically destroyed the Mafia in the us.

Decentralization isn’t the reason, and conflating it with fediverse services is disingenuous.

The reason many cryptos use a lot of power is because of proof of work.

Proof of stake and proof of work have the same effective result for voting power. In order to effectively mine, you need a large capital investment and in order to stay competitive in mining you need to continue spending capital, the same is true for proof of stake as the larger overall stake the lower the payouts, so it requires more capital investment.

I don’t understand how they can disclaim liability for generated libel.

If person A googles person B and receives libelous information, person b was not the one using the service / agreeing to terms / otherwise in a contract, the company can’t just opt you in to an agreement that you had no participation in.

What helicopters and drones are flying over the ocean, across Europe, Africa and North America?

And what is a ‘courier craft’ do you mean a private airplane?

Private != Billionaire owned, it means a privately owned plane that flies general aviation (non FAR 121)

Transferring organs absolutely happens in private jets.

I think you might just not know what the term ‘private jet’ means.

There are legitimate reasons for private jets to exist, though the list is admittedly small.

The ability to transport lifesaving medications and things like organs long distances as fast as possible comes to mind.

There isn’t much reason for individuals to travel on private jets in non emergency scenarios though

Esdf requires more dexterity and is generally less accessible.

I’m an idiot and misunderstood which key bind was being talked about

Also, people just guess and are wrong most of the time.
