I don’t speak Portuguese. “Our Lady of Penha” sounds…well…I’m making assumptions, let’s just say that. (Ladies are ladies, regardless of Penha.)

Dragonstaff@leminal.spaceto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Colorado’s governor vetoes landmark ban on rent-setting algorithmsEnglish2·1 month agoSo that’s a no. You spent a lot of words to avoid saying the word no, but you seem to understand we cannot fix that problem in the short term.
So why do you insist on acting as if we have an informed electorate that will weigh their options and come to an informed decision? At what point do Democrats have to stop the wishful thinking and join us in reality?
If it helps, I’d like the same thing. But what we want doesn’t matter. Winning elections does.
And for the record, I and a lot of other people read the article. Pretending ‘everyone who comes to a different conclusion than you did is uninformed’ is condescending. We simply choose to give credence to the activists that work for consumers over another corporate backed Democrat. “There are too many regulations on the books” is a right wing talking point and a nonsense excuse.
“This veto sends the devastating message that corporate landlords can keep using secret price-fixing algorithms to take extra rent from people who have the least,”

Dragonstaff@leminal.spaceto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Colorado’s governor vetoes landmark ban on rent-setting algorithmsEnglish2·1 month agoCampaigning for a cushy job after he leaves office is also called “lobbying” because “bribery” is only when you hand a politician a bag with a big dollar sign on it and explicitly say “This is a bribe to do a crime for me”.
Dragonstaff@leminal.spaceto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Colorado’s governor vetoes landmark ban on rent-setting algorithmsEnglish72·1 month agoDo you think we can fix “headline only reactions” amongst voters, or do you think we should do things that make good headlines regardless of if it increases the number of laws, a metric absolutely nobody cares about?
It’s almost as if voters are human and we should care about what they think, rather than expect every voter to think like you do.

It’d be great if the ugly things didn’t exist, but since they do, they have to go somewhere.
That’s the entire point of the post, my guy. Some apps use the Downloads folder. Some use their own. Some use a folder you set a year ago when you first got the app but don’t remember anymore.
The interface abstracts away from the actual file system so finding a file becomes guesswork. Doubly so if you then want to use the downloaded file in a different app that also doesn’t give access to the file system.

Dragonstaff@leminal.spaceto politics @lemmy.world•AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New PollEnglish12·2 months agoThe headline means “AOC is seen as the leader of the Dems and nobody is even close to her”.
The DNC chair is not usually an elected congressperson, and AOC is absolutely not looking for that job. They’re just talking about the person people think about as the leader.

Dragonstaff@leminal.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic.English181·2 months agoIt’s pretty accurate to say the wealthy like fascism if you look at how the wealthy keep trying to implement fascism. The Business Plot was an attempted fascist takeover of the United States, and the Trump regime was a successful fascist takeover of the United States. Both were bankrolled by the wealthy.
I’m not interested in defining the word fascist. The word has a definition and if some people use it incorrectly, that is not my concern.
I think when you talk about the “economy” you’re not taking into account income inequality. Economic crashes are great for the capitalist class. They get to buy everything at fire sale prices, and pay their workers pennies. Even if they have slightly less “wealth” than they might, they have enormously more power (which locks in more wealth during the “recovery”).

We have made some cursory nods towards helping minorities survive in a white supremacist state, but there has not even been a concerted effort to try to end white supremacy.
This is such a weird comment. Did you read the part that you didn’t quote? If I didn’t read the article, where would I have gotten “Our Lady of Penha” from?
