Even as the former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has endorsed Donald J. Trump and campaigned for him, his message to voters is clear: Vote Trump to get me.

If you are running Windows [...]

and

from June 2015 until the present, affecting v3.2.1 through v5.0.0 inclusive. The behaviour does not appear to be replicated for other OS variants

Just a garbage truck doing what it was designed to do: haul trash to the dump.

Why are people downvoting this? Yeah, it fucking sucks that an idol endorsed Trump. Shouldn't others know about it and not keep supporting him?

I use a lot of comments in config files, and in the past I've also used bookstack to make documentation (something I should probably do again). You're right that docker (especially docker compose) has helped with this immensely.

I honestly don't think NK is expecting them to come back. That would allow them to desert with reduced risk. I'm sure some of them are at least considering it, or will be soon.

Bummer, that's strange.

Just took a glance at the settings in Read You, it seems like you might be able to use it locally. Might be worth a try.

Eh, there's several ways to secure electronic tabulation - in fact, most states do use electronic tabulation with checksums and tons of layered security (including airgaps). The paper ballots are kept as a backup in these cases of course. If the checksum doesn't match or some other metric is off, you can recount the votes using the paper ballots.

For example, Washington state's process of tabulation:

The votes are tabulated by certified individuals using machines that are not connected to the internet at 8 pm on election day. The machines are individually certified by federal and state authorities and independently tested in NIST laboratories. As votes are tabulated, voters can track their ballot’s progress through the VoteWA system.

An independent study by The Heritage Foundation reviewed 10.6 million ballots cast in the state of Washington between 2004 and 2010 and only found seven fraudulent votes attempted by mail. “I have not seen any new fraud since moving to the system… in my 14 years, we have only had two fraud cases, and one called to inform and apologize,” said Marianne Nichols, Pend Oreille Auditor. “We rarely come across cases of double-voters or attempts to vote another person’s ballot,” added Julie Anderson. “Most cases are voter mistakes, not an attempt to commit fraud or undermine an election.”

I use FreshRSS (a self-hosted RSS aggregator) with Read You (for Android) and have Techdirt and Cascade PBS working, I actually just added Cascade PBS today. Of course this might require you to self host FreshRSS, but FreshRSS is well worth it.

Looking at the feeds, they seem pretty standard. I'm surprised your app isn't accepting them.

So, their goal is Kamala loses and Trump wins, then what? It's almost like she never actually cared about the environment or workers and only ever wanted to be a spoiler for Kamala. Trump will get rid of the EPA and appoint oil execs in their spot.

Surely he's still on probation right?

Also, there's this:

Bannon may be in an interlude between prison sentences. He is set face trial in December in New York for allegedly defrauding donors to a charity that claimed to be raising private funds to help build Trump’s promised wall along the Mexican border.

That makes you a moron too since you're using "such a janky website" just like us, right?! You're posting via a Lemmy account to a Lemmy instance, afterall. The federation rules apply the same whether you browse via Mastadon or not. It's apps that differ.
