I see, my favorite podcast (“A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs”)[https://500songs.com/] has no ads. I’d strongly recommend if your interested in that kind of music

I don’t understand what you mean. I just skip the ads with my skip 30 seconds button.

If you’re doing it over an app, without the chance for the person you’re dumping to respond, I see no risk of things turning nasty

Polls have a margin of error and election results have generally been within the 80% confidence interval 80% of the time.

It is true that when there are less polls (like in special elections) it’s harder to get an understanding of the state of the race.

Polls have been remarkably accurate in the last few election cycles.

The “polls are wrong” talking point is a convenient way for politicians to ignore the will of the people. Trump has done this for a long time, and recently Biden has taken up this practice to pretend that the “Real Americans” think he is fit to be president for another 4 years.

So please don’t repeat this talking point, or at least read a bit into historical accuracy of polls before you declare them bullshit.

Biden is absolutely not leading. State polling has him behind in every swing state. Nate Silver’s model gives Biden a 30% chance of winning, slightly down from the debate.

In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.

I think this isn’t a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it’s unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.

I don’t see the connection between neurodivergence and phones

Short haul flights should probably be high speed train rides anyway

I guess I didn’t notice when I opted in, and couldn’t find a way to opt out when I realized it was broken

If I want to have security, I would use a different communication protocol. I find it unacceptable for an SMS app to change quietly change to a different protocol, particularly if it causes messages to fail to send.

I found Google messages to be unreliable: refusing to send a SMS if the Internet connection is bad. The signal that the message failed to send is a single hollow checkmark.

I switched to fossify messages, which just sends SMSs or MMSs and doesn’t create its own flawed messaging protocol

But it’s somewhat wasteful to build an entire industrial plant that’s only run at 10% capacity

The obscurity of the Fediverse is not its defense from enshittification. The fact that it’s so easy to move from server to server is.

If lemmy.world enshittifies, you can just move to lemmy.sdf.org without a big loss.

I think that lemmy could use more people.

Linux is often used to refer to a family of operating systems including Ubuntu, Debian, fedora, red hat, ect., which all use the Linux kernel.

However, GNU/Linux may be a better name for this family of operating systems, since they all use GNU components and (to varying extents) embrace the philosophy of the free software foundation.

Android uses the Linux kernel, but not GNU components, and do not embrace the philosophy of the Free software foundation.

Stalman, the man who founded GNU and the free software foundation published his thoughts on this:

Lemmy.ml is also the instance made by the lemmy devs

Also old.lemmy.sdf.org!

Did you try my suggestion in this comment?

I think your problem is that you aren’t pointing PowerShell at the right folder. You can use the cd command to get to the right folder containing the python script and config file.

It’s not too bad, it seems more difficult because I added all the steps. Changing the folder PowerShell is looking at is easy to do, but hard to explain.
