@dgar No it isn't. Voting is the least effective form of political participation. It's necessary, but it comes at the end of the pipeline.
Sometimes, even threatening to vote can be more effective than voting itself.
@riley Oh, then people should perhaps not vote, and just threaten to vote?
Makes sense...
Everyone's job today in the USA
It will be endlessly confusing to me (as a non-American) that voting isn't mandatory over there!!!
Glad you're doing the right thing in your country :)
@flwwhtrbt I, too, find it shocking. It's not even a holiday.
Got spam asking if my dad has voted yet. Well, considering he's been dead for 12 years... no.

it’s thoughtful to schedule Election Day during Discount Chocolate Week
you made me choke on my iced tea!!

You’re not alone in this wish, though I’m sure that doesn’t surprise you. I sort of accepted it as just part of how a federated reddit-style forum would work, but if there’s a way to address it, that would be very cool.

Piefed addreses that, as you can see in the other comments.
http://piefed.blahaj.zone is run by the same team as your current instance.
@biscuit_pup I'm using my cast iron still but the steel is definitely my focus. I did the math and realized I could splurge on pans, and they are.... Very nice
@aphyr I have been using the same pans for almost 20 years. I have a few news sets in mind but its on the list with everything else to buy "when we get a better house."
early poll results are looking good for Big Ol' Nerds Who Like Numbers

Is there a way to not see duplicate of the same topic across different communities?
Hi everyone!
I’m really enjoying the Fediverse through Lemmy and Peertube.
Two creators I enjoy and follow on the Fediverse are Dash and Gardiner Bryant (both work on The Bryant Review) as their content is really enjoyable.
Sadly they are the target of my post as they shares their content on many different communities that I follow.
Today I had 5 times the same topic on RetroDeck (great project too) on my feed on Lemmy (Voyager).
It is the same on PieFed (Interstellar).
This is really annoying and I haven’t found a way to not show these duplicates. Do you know about one or is it worked on?
Also when crossposting, it would be great if everything appeared under on post. Is it feasible?
Sorry if it’s easy and I just missed it. In a way I hope it is because it would mean that the Fediverse is festure rich😇
Edit: Added Dash as she was in fact the one who published the article. Also it appears that the issue is only on mobile apps since both the browser of Lemmy and PieFed don’t have it.
Edit 2: Using the Progressive Web App of PieFed seems to have solved the issue for me
@AbandonedAmerica As a gay guy I totally misinterpreted this at first
@sleepingox that's pretty funny. Amended it to "fuzzy" instead of furry to avoid confusion 😄
Nowadays discovering cool new #RetroComputing hard- or software projects always comes with a grain of salt because more often than not it is not the hard work of a dedicated lunatic but vibe coded AI #slop.
Yes, the original ideas may be great, but IMHO executing it w/ slop machines devalues the result.
And yes, I know that sounds like gate keeping of a frustrated old white person... 😩
@dec_hl I understand why businesses have to try to use AI - those are already in a race to the bottom. But having it applied to a hobby seems especially gratuitously unnecessary.
Trump is underwater by 11% on the question of whether he has the mental capability to serve effectively as president. Tell me this all about gas prices. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Not planning to stay up for any election news. Finding out over the next few days is soon enough for me. I did my part, I'm friggin' tired, there is zero public or personal benefit to paying live attention to it, it's all stuff I'll know when the numbers are stable, which I'll have to live with all the same.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
