That doesn't mean what you think it does. The fact that Harris received fewer votes from independents is because they stayed home (as evidenced by the lower turnout), not because they moved to Trump en masse.

Your conclusion also makes very little sense when you consider that Harris already conceded so much to Republicans compared to 2020, i.e. on migration, campaigning with Cheney and even proposing to appoint Republicans in the cabinet.

And so the blame game has begun. And just like in 2016, Dems will point at everything except themselves. But that's not how democracy works.

Even if you computer is not exposed to the internet: are you certain that every other device on the network is safe (even on public wifi)? Would you immediately raise the alarm if you saw a second printer in the list with the same name, or something like "Print to file"? I think I personally could fall for that under the right circumstances.

The military lies and exploits poverty to coerce people. The federation is a post-scarcity society so people join because they want to. Also, the purpose of Starfleet is mostly exploration (with some exceptions).

Putin couldn't care less about the support from some random programmers. Be realistic, what do you expect them to do? Take up arms? Protest and get imprisoned? Vote in the sham elections?

Targeting random civilians in hopes of political change is the strategy of terrorists.

Ignoring all the assassinations and strikes by Israel, including the unprovoked bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus?

So then you agree that there is no reason to be "glad" about this?

And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.

So you're saying that the GDPR makes it illegal for individuals to use surveillance for self defense. That's not true. Recital 50 specifically allows people to share data with law enforcement. And if you're referring to putting up cameras, that's actually very ineffective at reducing crime while it does expand mass surveillance.

The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate.

Fighting fake accounts is hard and most implementations do not currently have an effective way of filtering out fake accounts. I'm sure that the developers will step in if this becomes a bigger problem. Until then, remember that votes are just a number.
