In Trump-voting Iowa, farmers have started to shout at each other in c/news@lemmy.world

Given her age, I think it's more likely that she's just being fed nothing but pro-Trump propaganda in her Facebook feed. She scrolls through Facebook on her sticky phone covered in food crumbs liking boomer memes and pictures of grandchildren. If anyone knows her, the easy solution to save her from the propaganda is to sign her out of her account since she definitely doesn't remember her password (and probably has like 3 accounts she's made by accident)

Donald Trump demands investigations into negative approval rating polls in c/politics@lemmy.world

He isn’t doing anything that he didn’t specifically say he would do when he was asking for people’s votes. They loved him before the election. They loved voting for him. I can understand why he might not believe that suddenly they don’t like him.

This is what happens when you steal an election

"You need to try Linux" in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[–] gamer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

There are a lot of options if you're experienced with Linux and know how to get things to work/are willing to do research. However, if you are new, then you should definitely play it safe to avoid frustration.

My current laptop is an Asus PX13, which is an awesome value and probably the most powerful machine you can buy at its size. Unfortunately, Asus does not support Linux on its laptops at all, and any support that exists comes from volunteers. I'm very happy with my current setup, but there are some rough edges that come from the lack of official support.

Trump: ‘I’m really not trolling’ with talk of Canada as 51st state in c/world@lemmy.world

How is election security in Canada? There was fuckery in the last presidential election here, and I don't doubt they'll try it in Canada too.

Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

That’s the whole point of authoritarianism.

Lol no. You could say paternalism is authoritarian, but not the other way around. Authoritarianism is just about power.

But as an aside, would you mind sharing your age? You don't need to be specific, just say if you're over or under 18. I have a... theory about people who obsess over the concept of "paternalism".

Idk, I've never associated him with a hobby. He's good at pretty much everything he does, and genuinely a good person willing to help anyone. If he's not working, he's either doing a favor for someone, or watching disgusting garbage on his phone. It seriously pisses me off to see MAGA turning him into a hateful goblin.

He would probably enjoy a social activity of some kind, but he lives in MAGA country so that's not likely to help. I've tried getting him into gaming, but it didn't stick. Although, I never thought to ask him if he had any hobbies when he was younger. That's probably worth a shot lol

People who say this are usually consuming misinformation and propaganda and don't know it. Anyone outside of those echo chambers can clearly see how it's dangerous and harmful to democracy.

I feel like we are glossing over the fact that I doesn’t matter that fact if someone is young or old,

Actually if you're talking about congress and the supreme court, I think age limits would make a lot of sense. After all, the people in these positions are deciding how the rest of us get to live. If they don't represent the generations they're governing over, it's inherently unfair. I think anybody who isn't of working age shouldn't be allowed to govern, as that's always the most important demographic for the country.

I'm jealous. Mine watches far-right extremist content on tiktok and youtube. What's an affordable hobby that wouldn't make an insecure man-child feel emasculated?

paternalism

Whenever I see someone complaining about this on the internet, I imagine they're an angsty teenager mad that their mom doesn't let them get a face tattoo.

Can anyone get noclip.website to work? (noclip.website)

Hi, recent firefox refugee here, and I'm trying to figure out how to get webgl fully working. I already disabled webgl.disabled in about:config, and that seems to have done the trick for most webgl content.

However, the site noclip.website doesn't work. It's basically a 3D model viewer for game maps, and all I get is a black screen. This site works fine in Firefox on this same machine.

I'm using LibreWorld 135.0.1-1 Flatpak on Linux

Thanks!

Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds? (lemm.ee)
 

The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?
