Even if you assumed the test successfully filtered out an educated voterbase, it would take all but five seconds for X party to cheat their exams, kind of like the “grandfather law” which essentially bypassed jim crow era literacy tests for everyone who was white.

mlg@lemmy.worldtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•Immigrants might be in camps, but at least you 3rd party/nonvoters have your sense of moral superiority!English698·15 days agoThis community is still in denial from last year I see, I guess none of you braindeads learned your lesson huh
Even funnier now that the DNC approved candidate is running as a 3rd party in NYC after losing his own primary. Suddenly no issue voting for an independent candidate there.
mlg@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Public transit in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 vs Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 English1·16 days agoJust like how Pakistan administers Jammu & Kashmir and India administers AJK & Gilgit Baltistan, both of which are across the Line of Control in the opposite country’s border lol.
mlg@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Public transit in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 vs Chengdu, China 🇨🇳 English64·16 days agoPentagon wasted tax money on facebook bots to convince people in East Asia that the chinese covid vaccine was poison, so no one is really buying the “China human rights abuses are what allow China to succeed” idea anymore.
Especially since you can just as easily point to Japan’s infrastructure projects which achieved the same thing under US supervision post WWII, meaning said human rights violations aren’t even a supposed cost if there’s less evidence of it that of UAE literally pirating in immigrants to build their lavish towers and stadiums.
Of which the US fully supports, so this just goes back to the blame game of who is worse.
Yes, China has some shady ideas of what is considered acceptable behavior and work output from citizens, but the point is that they are using it to rapidly grow their infrastructure, unlike NA which take a decade for a single transit system to get approved all while car OEMs are pumping out dumpsterfire vehicles of whose parts are overwhelmingly made in China.
mlg@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Democrats’ Project 2029 Is Doubling Down on FailureEnglish422·16 days agoCan I have my 3rd party now, especially since the DNC is already running as a third party in NYC after they forgot to rig their own primary again.
mlg@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Report: IDF shot at Gazans holding white flags near aid site, reservist saysEnglish17·16 days agoThey shot at the Israeli captives who were waving a white flag after they escaped Hamas two years ago.

DNC after losing their own primary: 3rd party it is
mlg@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewersEnglish61·24 days agoLol I remember Dunkey complaining about this guy and twitch streamers in general showing up to E3 because “The only Twitch streamer that plays games is Pete Dorr, and he wasn’t even on there”
Kinda hard to miss on the default lemmy UI lol

Poor Syria
mlg@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.ml•Iran receives Chinese surface-to-air missile batteries after Israel ceasefire dealEnglish4·27 days agoI mean they theoretically can but they’d have to hide one under like a false rock, keep the radar off until they somehow know an F-35 is very close, flick it on and then hope that’s close enough for a track and launch.
Israel has huge intel on where their SAM sites are located in real time, so this already makes it near impossible.
A better solution would be a fully integrated radar system with a modern airforce to run and protect it, but that’s expensive and would require years of buildup.
Then you could use some stacked radar tricks to identify F-35s from further out, and use data link to avoid alerting them on RWR. It would still be hard just due to the low RCS so any non stealth fighters would likely be prime targets as the F-35s slip by.
mlg@lemmy.worldto homeassistant@lemmy.world•IKEA moves to Thread (and away from Zigbee)English3·28 days agoKind of a lazy question, but are any of these protocols substantial over 802.11, especially if you just use p2p/adhoc/mesh modes?
I haven’t touched mobile networks in a while so I’ve forgotten a lot, but iirc the main concern of mesh networks was efficient routing (which has been solved with some cool algorithms) and power efficiency for devices transmitting (again could have sworn 802.11 and even bluetooth can already achieve this).
Zigby particularly stood out as annoying to me as it includes its own 2.4ghz physical layer stack which uses the same range as WiFI, which is already overcrowded as hell and relies on some CSMA/CA magic to make even the most apartment crowded area of APs function decently.
mlg@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Netanyahu surprises Trump with formal Nobel Peace Prize nominationEnglish2·30 days agoPakistan’s Field Marshall: well shit
Doyee, people called USAID’s NGOs a lazy way for the CIA to fund their operations lol
concentration camps and millions being stripped of health insurance and food assistance
So like Gaza?
Because I’m pretty sure this was the logic for people who refused to vote that this very community spent an entire year assuring me was a bunch of tankie bots from ml.
mlg@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Early US intelligence report suggests US strikes only set back Iran’s nuclear program by monthsEnglish1·1 month agoActually Pakistan sold the centrifuge technology to Iran and NK, but the US has ensured they are no longer friendly to allow further assistance.
Iran just needs to hunker down and make it quickly like NK did if they want it.
mlg@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Former President Joe Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive' prostate cancerEnglish1·3 months agoI always love the cognitive dissonance people have seeing others hope that a man directly responsible for a metric ton of civilian deaths, succumbing to a painful death, is not ethically correct.
I mean people seem to have zero issue with United Healthcare. Exorbitant Healthcare costs is the equivalent of death, but literally bombing hospitals and refugee camps isn’t?
Not to mention that he’ll be receiving the latest and greatest in medical aid anyway, so there’s a fair chance he’ll survive. A lot of geriatric asshat world leaders contracted covid and still lived.
I can’t even tell if this is DNC shilling because several people have implied they would treat Trump the same. Wth kind of moral compass are yall following lol?
mlg@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Letters to the Editor: Your 'protest vote' for Jill Stein is really a vote for Donald TrumpEnglish0·10 months agoI mean doyee?
No one’s voting 3rd party because they think they’ll win, they’re just throwing away a vote for Harris. Their statement is that they have no issue with another 4 years of Trump because their demands aren’t being met anyway (cough genocide).
You can argue all day about the rationality and lack of utilitarianism, but it won’t change anything.
If MLK were alive, he’d probably vote Democrat because he believes there is a solution in comprise over time, and keeping Republicans out is beneficial to that. (He generally favored the more progressive party).
If Malcolm X were alive, he’d probably be protesting just like the uncommitted group, but choose not to vote if his major demand wasn’t met, because his reasoning would be that any promised or hypothetical solutions would not come to fruition. (The Ballot or the Bullet)
Both have valid reasoning, and it can obviously depend on the situation, but it bugs me that 50 years later people still don’t understand why people choose to vote a certain way.
Someone I know genuinely tried this in a test branch for a Blazor application developed at a university, and the AI introduced insanely hidden UI breaking bugs because it touched every single file and renamed variables to plural without correctly refactoring in every dependent file lmao.
AI is a powerful tool, but throwing an entire codebase at it is exactly how you nuke your development lol. Even the latest and greatest models can’t handle complexity beyond a few thousand lines even with increased input limits. And if it’s anything proprietary or even not well published, you’re basically screwed.
