Here in Australia, our libertarian party was the only political party to illegally keep advertising well past the election… Fuckers didn’t even clean up their own signs which they are legally required to

Best bridge in the world

It’s been 10 days lol

Jokes on them. Facebook in Australia is an absolute cesspool.

And nobody from Facebook is doing anything with the reports

So, the only application for this data is to build a bot which acts like an asshole and make photos of cars which assholes own.

A bunch of vegans said they feed their pets only vegan food, whilst they are carnivores. Mod stopped the conv to prevent animal abuse.

Some Vegans got angry.

I agree with mods, last thing we need here are echo chambers for dangerous information

Yeah. Last thing I want is to deal with all the anti-environment, anti-EV pro-extremist right wing toxic-macho shit bots.

Quality, not quantity. With too many people, moderation begins to fail

It’s funny how I’ve tried to bring some of that most blokey guys I have come across on mountaineering and such, and the vast majority weasal out of it

And the biggest badasses I know always drive the most basic cars lol

Yeah. the billet labs incident also showed that Linus maybe isn’t as great in real life as he is on screen too, and a bit of a slave driver

Steve is the biggest legend

Used to watch Linus tech tips but after watching they’re point to point wifi video that it felt like they were exaggerating a bit and after Steve pointed out the issues with it, I basically stopped watching

Also, they started too many channels and got too commercial

Developers in general also get treated like crap by the community too.

I used to be passionate about open source and relessed a project. But I dropped it because there were a few vocal trolls in the community tore into me.

And there are so many developers which probably have a similar issue.

The biggest enemy to the success of Linux isn’t actually Microsoft or Apple, but potentially the Linux community itself

Yep, how about from Harvard law school. It was incitement, and lots of people were injured. YES, he’s dangerous.

He doesn’t need to hold a knife to be dangerous. Many dictators and mob bosses work using threats and lackies to do their work.

And I’ve been threatened at least 3x in my life.

• Twice was "don’t you ever XXXX ever again, or else… " << Yes, thats a threat…
• The third time was a angry boyfriend (meth head) telling my long term ex (who I hadn’t seen in ages anyway), that he knew where I lived. I once found a fence post nailed to the tree outside my house, and I suspect it was him

I also intervened when a junkie held up a pipe threatening to hit someone in a road rage incident.

In all 4 of these cases, people like yourself will claim that they weren’t dangerous simply because they don’t directly say they’re going to harm the other person. But they were obviously intended to have life-threatening undertones which any reasonable person would back down from. No, it’s threats and intimidation.

Trump regularly highlights judges families and such, and it has the same intention

Again, he has absolutely been upfront that next election he’s trying to change things to extend his term and become a dictator, and he will only extend power to people who follow him.

Mob bosses will always be careful what they say. Even if you watch him speak, it feels like he’s an actor in the untouchables

You forgot a bunch of things…

• He’s creating a culture of fear. He’s putting the families of people in danger by mentioning them, and verbally attacking them, knowing his followers will go after them including the families of judges. This is what criminals and fascists do… People don’t fight Putin because they know they’ll end up in prison or get attacked. Same thing here.
• Even when Trump got shot, it became immediately clear that he was hoping it would result in shootings on his side.
• He will very likely free the J6 guys.
• He is already aligning himself with people who can protect him like the proud boys. They know that if they follow him, he’ll protect them, and vice versa
• He has provided confidential information to people without clearance. One of Australia’s Bilionaires confirmed that.
• He has promised to close down various justice departments
• He has dropped numerous statements that he wants to extend the term a president can be voted in for… MANY MANY times.
• He’s once again calling the election a sham.
• He will put his friends in positions of power (again).
• Once again, HIS OWN STAFF AND OTHER LEADERS HAVE WARNED HE IS DANGEROUS.
• We have NO idea what is happening in the background either.
• It doesn’t matter how powerful he is… HE WILL go to jail. He has threatened and pissed off enough people at this point

I live here in Australia, and knew very little of president trump.

I LITERALLY saw 10mins of Trump on TV months before the election, and my first reaction by the way he was speaking was “he’s going to overthrow the election”. It took a foreigner like me 10mins to realise that shit…

If you watch his speeches now, his language again, is the same as what facscists use. He uses words like calling everyone crooked, etc, WITHOUT EVIDENCE. He calls the election a sham. Why do you think he’s saying this?

What’s disturbing is the number of people that is willing to say “oh, he’s a populist” or “he’s joking” when he makes statements. Yeah… He was joking about the last election being a sham…

I’ll tell you EXACTLY what I saw. I saw without context a guy trying to overthrow an election.

What I see now is a guy who has every intention to extend his term beyond the maximum and interfere with the next election to delay jail.

Did you really need to click bait it? Just write the reason in the header.

I’m Australian, and it’s not overblown

He’s already acknowledging he plans to go full dictatorship. He’s already starting with the “crooked, leftist” stuff.

What he’s saying and doing are literally parts of the nazi playbook.

The difference this time over last time is that losing the election ruins the rest of his life, so he has everything to gain by sowing chaos. If he can delay the count even, it’s hugely beneficial for him.

Russia gains through his win too because if he wins, then Trump will stop helping Ukraine most likely, which is possibly why we’re seeing so much manipulation online basically discouraging left wing people voting

I down voted op because it feels like he’s doing the classic bully maneuver where you seemingly either agree with this post, or he’s implied he’ll call you part of the hive Mind or whatever.

Also, personally, I don’t believe op genuinely cares about the answers.

Not a big deal.

Wait until you find out how much ram gets wasted in caching and algorithms designed to run faster on computers or improve productivity. Even things like indexing to speed up search or icon caching

It’s a mobile phone. 13gb is lots, and I’d be curious to see the extent that ai improves productivity.

The headline is designed explicitly to bait arguments

Yes, bias is a thing. Ever hear of the placebo effect? It gives people a bias before clicking the link.

In fact, showing rankings actually makes it easier for bots because of that bias, they just randomly click stuff to appear neutral, and upvote their target posts, which when they say +1.4k, you’ll be biased into thinking it’s a popular opinion. Hence why hiding them by default actually maybe has benefits. There are no advantages to seeing the votes other than abuse. Name some.

As you said, they’re already accessible, so there is no point of bloating the code. Let’s not make them even more so and encourage abuse.

What problem is being solved here by doing this?

My implementation would be hide it from the UI by default for instances

Also, never said unranked… I meant simply hide the rankings. Part of the disadvantage of showing the totals on the UI means that high upvotes make it seem like it was highly popular. It also means that people don’t mindlessly upvote posts simply because there were a lot of upvotes. By hiding them, you know its popular, but no how popular. It changes the way people interact so it’s more normal.

Showing Upvotes/downvotes doesn’t show whether they are bots are not. It just means they’ll upvote/downvote more random shit and mess around wit the rest of the posts, so more crap rises to the top because they’re interfering with the rankings.

There are easier ways to identify bots… And, it just aids abusive people. I don’t think it will assist with bots at all… Sorry.

Problem is, it actually encourages a hive mind. I’ve already had 2 people try to bully me.

I’d go one step further. Upvotes down votes and totals should be hidden entirely. This would encourage people to post based on their own without external influence It reduces the incentive to use bots

Already had one person today mention my down votes .

It didn’t validate their argument at all and without context it can be interpreted in any fashion to make it seem malicious

I’m not actually sure if you’re joking…
