National polling isn’t the same as a poll designed to predict the popular vote. Biden won in 2020 by 7 MILLION votes. Even Clinton beat Trump by nearly 3 million votes. The popular vote and the election results are decided by completely different factors, pollsters aren’t soliciting people outside of swing states right now because nobody gives a fuck what a random Californian or Missourian thinks at the moment.
Huh? Which pollster is claiming that? This article from 3 days ago seems to indicate the opposite - Harris is highly unlikely to lose the popular vote but the EC is very much still up in the air.
California has a lot of people who vote, it’s tough to make up that margin.
I think it is funny when I hear Trump warning about the violent liberal Marxists that are coming for us if the Dems win, because if the people on Lemmy.ml weren’t Russian trolls, they’d be the people he’s talking about. 😂
Steam has voice channels? 🤯
My brother in Christ, YOU asked ME what app I used. What response were you expecting from, “miss me with that horseshit”? Something along the lines of, “Oh, sorry Mr. Godric, sir. I’ll start using a privacy respecting front-end right away!”???
While your threat model might have you terrified of the idea that your Lemmy app might be sharing data about you, I do not share that fear. I also have Connect on my device. I like the interface of Boost better, and use it more. Boost has no device permissions, and I haven’t donated so they don’t have financial info. Otherwise, the dev collects crash logs and usage data? I mean, c’mon bro, take a chill pill.
I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve found an app that you like - and that it already has the functionality you’re looking for. What I fail to understand is the superiority complex because you use an app that collects less data.

Ahh OK that makes sense thanks
Hol up, Kagi is indexing discord servers?
Omg, I have them tagged as, “believes they’re the center of the universe” 😂
The tagging system is great.
Gonna be great when there’s 1 or more electoral college votes for an independent and MAGA loses its collective mind.
Nintendo does have sales from time to time, they’re just rarely great discounts. If you have a switch and you wishlist games they will email you if your wishlisted game goes on sale.
Are you questioning the judgment of Dave Van Zandt and his team? Unimaginable! /s
Mostly you can’t - most fsd options I’m aware of are mostly in the robotaxi space. Here’s a website that tracks where they’re available.
Otherwise your best bet today that I know of would be Mercedes Drive Pilot, which has a Level 3 rating for being autonomous.
I’m late to the party here but still wanted to take a moment to thank you for the share - quite an interesting read. Cheers.
Y’all? Excuse me sir/madam, but it’s y’all that needs to cut it out with the rhetoric.
The level of effort to cast a vote, even in states with aggressive voter suppression, is still lower than the impact that the next 4-6 years of policy will have. Every state has options for mail voting or early voting.
You’d have a hard time convincing me that someone who intends to vote would decide not to unless they’re simply too lazy to be bothered. If mild shaming encourages even a single person to exercise their right to vote, it’s worth doing.
In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that it’s people like you coming out here and coddling people with your sYsTeMiC iSsUeS that is enabling people to consider voting and instead think, “hmm, do I want to deal with the systemic voter suppression issue or should I just skip voting this time? Yeah, I don’t want to wait in a line or cast my vote early, so best to just sit this one out and complain about the outcome.”
It’s not victim blaming, it’s reminding people that they have a CIVIC DUTY to vote, just like registering for the draft or getting called for jury duty.
I did not know about mega-anna as a term before. Is it always hyphenated, or did you add that for emphasis?
Nah our approach to polls is fundamentally misguided based on the way we communicate in 2024 - most of them still rely on essentially wardialing a target area until someone answers, so it fundamentally skews toward an older crowd and those gullible enough to take a phone call from an unknown number.
And still everyone will act shocked when they have to eat shit when they elect the “everyone is gonna eat some shit” party.
Feels like deciding in 2010 between Twitter and Reddit in some ways…
