What about shaking hands, or saying “Good morning”? What about doing the Hokey Pokey? Those are all useless, too.

Unfortunately this is one of those topics that never gets a rational discussion on social media, just a bunch of gut reactions. You’ll need to find your answer elsewhere.
Even to suggest a little contemplation here will get downvoted. Don’t bother. Might as well post “what is capitalism.”

Ya it was called shazzeasement or something
The "silent filibuster" is not an official part of Senate rules.
The silent filibuster results from a change to Senate rule #12, aka “Rule XXII of the Standing Rules of The Senate” that was made in 1970. It allowed the Senate, for the first time, to move on to the next bill in the event of a filibuster. So in effect there’s no longer a “talk it to death” requirement to prevent a bill from reaching a vote.
Apple holding its ground against fascist anti-privacy demands is like the one topic where the anti-Apple brigaders don’t jump in to tell us about how Apple is an evil anti-customer machine.
Edit: Nevermind it turns out I’m wrong.

Correction: it is no longer necessary for a Senator to keep talking on the floor to create a filibuster. Any Senator can now simply indicate a filibuster and require an immediate cloture to bypass it. This is sometimes called a “silent filibuster” but mostly it just kept the same name which prevents the public from being aware of the difference.
