I actually thought this was the trek shitposting community. (ten forward?)

edit: now that I saw what /c this is actually in, i finally realized what it was trying to say. I was so confused.

why can’t I delete this comment?

My candidate may not win, but damnit they will count my vote and know that I dissent.

Which is the same exact reason I vote third party despite them mostly not winning.

edit: keep downvoting me. I’m sure that will help convince me to vote for your team, just like the last 50 times it happened.

Also a Stanislaw Lem novel about a similar premise.

Just as an FYI, whether lie detector tests are accurate or not, lying in a polygraph interview for a federal background check is a crime. Polygraph interviews can and do sometimes lead to criminal prosecution.

Intentionally inflammatory and misleading headlines on Lemmy? Pshaw. The hell you say.

I called him Hiroshi because he vaguely reminds me of the guy from Heroes (Masi Oka.)

Statcounter says it gets its desktop operating system (OS) usage stats from tracking code installed on over 1.5 million global websites generating over 5 billion monthly page views.

…

Statcounter is a web analytics service. Our tracking code is installed on more than 1.5 million sites globally. These sites cover various activities and geographic locations. Every month, we record billions of page views to these sites. For each page view, we analyse the browser/operating system/screen resolution used and we establish if the page view is from a mobile device. For our search engine stats, we analyze every page view referred by a search engine. For our social media stats, we analyze every page view referred by a social media site. We summarize all this data to get our Global Stats information.

So… because I am blocking any and all trackers, I may not count towards this at all? Presumably the same is true of many Lemmy users.

funny, this thread is the first I’d heard of them. I used to be into cameras (canon) but then I had kids.

This US-centric view that this worldwide outage is automatically due to US politics is just ridiculous, and you should be embarrassed.

I should be embarrassed that another commenter thinks its related to the elections? Why? It wasn’t my idea and my only mention of it was to say I think it unlikely. Go be churlish somewhere else. I’ll longer see your replies.

You dont think who becomes POTUS will effect your country? You’ve blasted right past being a curmudgeon who doesn’t like the US and moved into the territory of troll.

IMO, it is a stretch to claim primary elections as the motive for this outage, but pretending you are entirely aloof and unaffected by US presidential elections is absurd. We get it, you hate the US.

I struggled through the font and weird format but never found a joke. It feels like the point is that sometimes developers just want to write code, whether it’s necessary or not. Perhaps OP (who seems to be the author) will weigh in

You heard it here first.
