That's correct. Reason why the inside track will usually be a song with less bass, etc...

Also not OP. And not everyone is coming from Lemmy. Some are coming via other federated channels that have different UIs that don't make it entirely obvious where you're at.

It's still very meh. Like does anyone remember those visual studio wizards for doing something? AI tools are about that good, roughly. But the difference is, you still have to review everything with the AI tool because it'll still make mistakes.

I use AI maybe once or twice a month, but it's far from, replaced my snippets with Ctrl+H replacing keywords.

This is a few counties over from where I'm at, but the biggest thing was Channel 5 News did an interview with the Sheriff and he basically admitted on air that the guy wasn't guilty.

Like I can not stress how much the State's county DA and Sheriff have fumbled this case and basically handed this guy a blank check.

And the thing is, while a majority of folks were okay at one point for punishing guy over his meme, the county has all but replaced all that with disgust how how terrible the cops have handled this.

Like they're still upset about the meme, but nowhere near as upset with how self destructive the Sheriff's department has been.

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting

This is specifically for doing that. Processing centers will be understaffed in heavily Democratic areas, Republican strongholds will have mail that magically gets a stamp fifteen nanoseconds later. Republicans can literally not win without resorting to cheating.

And this is why it's popular for children to swing in the corpse of the guilty. To serve reminder to those who may harbor similar ill intent. We are a society kept in balance by the reminders of our most gruesome displays to each other.

Your example is people randomly sharing information. That is not the same as a Government entity after following the process outlined in the law, releasing information related to that Government action. We know who is awarded contracts, we know where tax payer money is going to, and so on because of disclosure requirements by Government entities.

When an elected entity has acted in a manner accordance to law, that action ought to reasonably disclose the subject of that action. That's not to say 100% it always must be this way, but this is why we allow the public to comment on changes to those disclosure requirements.

I would like for you to understand, there's a very fundamental difference between "random people" and "people via a method given power to rule over other people." That fundamental difference between the two is key to the point here.

That doesn't change the aspect of it being censorship. It just means that a risk adverse company is risk adverse to the degree that they will employ censorship to maintain that aversion to risk. At the end of the day, it's censorship. The rationale for why they've employed it is notwithstanding.

Publicly available police reports.

I'm completely against doxxing. But there were public reports. That's censorship.

Mom, I want an aim bot!

But we have aim bots at home.

The aim bots at home.

This is like a ton of things with the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The GAO is required to conduits audits and report failures to Congress. It's then up to Congress to hand out punishment. The problem is that the US Congress routinely lacks a spine to do anything.

But this is also why DOGE is seemingly redundant here. Everything that DOGE did is basically the same thing the GAO does. The difference is the GAO reports to Congress and DOGE reported to the President. That said, the President cannot unilaterally cut spending to anything as the Constitution indicates that power belongs to Congress. This is where a lot of challenges to DOGE come from.

However, those challenges mostly ended when Congress passed public law 119-28 which basically said all the cuts DOGE made were cool. However, there's still challenges about those order of operations there, in that DOGE can't have made the cuts until Congress said they were cool. And only on the date that Congress said they were cool with the cuts can they actually be cut. So money has to be spent for the in between time from when DOGE made a cut and when Congress said it was cool.
