Was the timing of the protests the problem in your opinion? The way that it was done?

In your opinion, how should supporters of a party express what they want changed with an electoral platform

Not all voters agreed with those protests. Arguably, the candidate would’ve lost by more if they listened to the protests and addressed the issues that were brought up.

Even if this was true, silencing any criticism isn’t the solution. In most parts of the world anyway

But in this context you’re referring to the prevention of fascism as “unproductive”.

I’m saying that if the candidate listened to the protests and addressed the issues that were brought up, they may have gotten more votes. Arguably, having MORE protests may have helped them win if it could convince the leadership to make changes.

Outcry from supporters is what convinced Biden to step down, which I think helped the Democrats come closer. Protest is important if it can help a party make the right adjustments in their campaign.

Telling people to stay silent is unproductive.

I find this unproductive. People SHOULD ask their elected representatives (and candidates) to improve. I want people to point it out when my preferred candidate does something wrong, because then they’re more likely to address it before the election.

That is exactly how it works. Criticizing the better option of the two will reduce turnout for that candidate. That’s the whole purpose of political campaigns.

I’m not saying this doesn’t happen, but I don’t think a significant number of people changed their mind about voting for her because of the protests.

• Option 1: Politically engaged people don’t point out a problem -> The candidate doesn’t address the problem -> The average voter doesn’t vote for the candidate because of the problem

• Option 2: Politically engaged people DO point out a problem -> The candidate addresses the problem -> The average voter is more likely to vote for the candidate

Thank you so much for this medal, I will cherish it 😁

Since the PieFed API was only enabled recently, there aren’t that many apps out yet. [email protected] is the one that people recommend right now. Voyager has plans to add it.

As more people use it, hopefully more apps will support it :)

Someone else already gave a decent explanation :)

Can you try these two guide pages and see if they help? They have some diagrams

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started

https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview

So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then

They are two separate platforms, made by different teams. The feeds look different for a few reasons

• piefed.ca is brand new and so it is missing a lot of the content. As people start using it, the default logged out feed will start to look closer to other instances
• An instance only pulls the content that its users are subscribed to. When you make an account on an instance and you are the first person to subscribe to a community, hitting subscribe will tell your instance to start pulling in those posts. That is why every instance will be slightly different regardless.

I’m not really clear on how communicating freely between them works

Unlike Lemmy and Mastodon, which are somewhat different formats (posts in communities) vs. short text posts on a user’s profile), Lemmy and PieFed are more or less the same. So it should be a lot closer in experience. Whatever you can subscribe to, comment on, or vote on within lemmy.ca, you should be able to do the same on piefed.ca

Especially because we are running both instances, and so they will have similar block lists.

It’s nice timing! Looking forward to seeing you and your instance in the world of pie :)

I believe Waymo has a better set of sensors (Lidar + Radar+ Cameras instead of just cameras), more processing power, and more research / time / resources spent on it compared to Tesla.

So it’s not that we aren’t ready for self driving taxis, but rather about which cars are ready to provide that service

It could be so that it works for embedded videos on other websites

A big part of this site’s pitch to its clients, including the “hyperscale” customers with gigantic data centers nearby, is that each device is labeled, tracked, and inventoried for its drives—both obvious and hidden—and is either securely wiped or destroyed. The process, commonly called ITAD, is used by larger businesses, especially when they upgrade fleets of servers or workers’ devices. ITAD providers ensure all the old gear is wiped clean, then resold, repurposed, recycled, or destroyed.

A lot of cities put out informational graphics like this. It might be cool to see more of them :)

A similar 2022 report can be found here with some extra information and other graphs/lidar maps/etc.: https://vancouver.ca/files/cov/vancouver-tree-canopy-assessment-2022.pdf

We haven’t hugged the Wii to death yet

I saw this on another post earlier: https://www.theverge.com/tech/672312/microsoft-block-palestine-gaza-email

This was a UI bug a while back, and it might still be present in cases like account imports. Maybe someone can make a bug report / GitHub issue about it

There is no other method from what I can tell. Until it’s fixed, I guess someone can write a script that does the same action to quickly go through your list and fix it

This user commented about trying Watcharr earlier in this thread

https://lemmy.ca/comment/16523668

I also see mentions of Ryot, Yamtrak, Simkl, Jellystat

A 2x price increase (or more for people who are on discounted or grandfathered plans) will likely get people to reevaluate if they really need the service. Based on the comments so far, it looks like a lot of people already have dropped it

This comment gives a good summary, but in short it lets you track what movies and shows you’ve watched / want to watch

https://lemmy.ca/comment/16513770

It tracks watch history and allows you to build lists, in a way that should integrate with other services. How well it does that is questionable

Some people might still be using it out of habit or loyalty, but a $30 price jump might change that
