Un policier frappe une femme en fauteuil roulant. Ce flic porte plainte contre la personne en fauteuil roulant qu'il a frappé et renversé. C'est ça l'impunité d'un état autoritaire....

$10/month but it's the only other search engine I've found that reliably returns relevant results. Solid privacy policy, too.
@z_everson interesting. You don't like DDG?
@threkk ya. I could send his vote in for him for sure. But it would be a shame if he couldn’t do it himself. Darn snap elections! 😆
@chris I know the feeling. I have a business trip the same week as the elections and I am trying to figure out if I will be voting in person at the consulate or I will have to post it too 🙃
I’m trying to think of a non technical analogy for what is happening. It’s like there’s a new supervillain who isn’t super strong or super smart, but his super power is just knowing the most embarrassing thing every company has ever swept under the rug for twenty years.

Wonderful, wonderful news!
Mississippi deserves to be freed of its corrupt bigoted overlords at long last!
Every Republican deserves to have an itemized list of their public corruption. Total please.

@ska @cr1901 @lanodan @shinmera And it's not just a matter of implementation efficiency. It's logical complexity. Forcing the validating process to derive its own chain makes more room for error. Having the protocol require that the first certificate is signed by a root of trust and every subsequent certificate is signed by the previous one makes a clear deterministic process for determining invalidity.
It’s official. Mississippi elects its first Black senator in almost 150 years.

@marie4AV - gawd, could you imagine? Drowsily waking up from a nap, opening one eye to see a wonderful person next to you reading an ebook from the library. The glow on their face as they're engrossed in a good book. And then slowly drifting back to sleep next to them.

We know…
Just amused by the juxtaposition, obviously they weren’t contradicting you (or replying to you). lol.
I’m easily amused. :)

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

The AP calls it. Mississippi will have its first Black US senator since Reconstruction.
