That must have been either a bigger battery or more efficient software, not lost tech beyond the power efficiency of chips we can make today

Why more power efficiency than we have today?

It will be useful for stuff like generating videos, but I would put the focus on more efficient software for that

Not that power efficiency should stop. It’s just I have no reason to pay for R&D to improve it, if I could just buy a long-lifespan device with a big chip and a big battery instead

All my homies hate JavaScript. You might be happy to hear we have a Radicle fork launching soon to overthrow GitHub, but ours is better because it has no JavaScript in the web interface. Cradicle / Project Zymogen

Sure, they prop her up by arresting her at protests

People have indicated they’ll take it as confirming delusions, so I’m better off using exact words instead of the check box

RFK Jr dropped out so he couldn’t really have any voters, and Democrats and Republicans aren’t third parties. Not sure who you’re thinking of. I was talking about people like Jill Stein who tried to stop anyone genocidal from getting elected

People voting third party in states without ranked choice voting are arguably even more impactful 🔥

Working to stop the perpetrators isn’t enabling them. You’re getting things completely mixed up.

My state has ranked choice voting btw

Amazing how you can shift blame from perpetrators to people who focus their lives on stopping the perpetrators of the shit you’re blaming them for

Redditors also get mad at me for saying I don’t file taxes, and meanwhile I still can’t avoid sales taxes and inflation paying for this stuff anyway

Rephrased that part but more in the direction of removing any clinical connotations, hope that’s good

No, I felt pressured not to use the check box by others in this thread

As far as dealing with the sheer volume of people, there are a couple things that would help

Automation - I think you could go surprisingly far with simple tools like “block all voters who upvote post x” or “block all voters who downvote post y” or “block all voters who upvote post x AND downvote post y”

Collective effort - like how Bluesky handles mute lists and stuff, people could co-manage lists of voters who fall into certain patterns, but this might encourage weird cult stuff so it’s better to see if individualized tools can be enough first

Still no idea if/how I’ll pull it off though. If I live long enough, I can finish any unfinished ideas, but life is dangerous sadly

I appreciate the reply. I hope piefed continues to grow and overtakes reddit’s usefulness for me again someday, as it potentially can.

Edit - as it stands, this is still the only fediverse app I’ve found useful, even if people here don’t want me to talk too much

People have indicated they’ll take it as validation of some cultish toxic mindset that seems to be forming

Copying and pasting without reading doesn’t achieve the same goal as reading

Stopped reading when you seemed to imply either there’s some widely accepted cultural rule that it’s OK to gaslight someone and lie to them as long as you disagree with them, or the people I accused of lying and gaslighting didn’t actually do it, but merely disagreed with me and did nothing else

I’m not a coder, but if nobody else does it before some kind of chat bot or AI, that stuff will end up getting it done in the end
