TIL that there are no recounts in Mississippi. in c/til@lemmy.world
[–] 1 point 1 day ago

Limiting the power of the branches by returning the power to the people directly is what I'm talking about. If that seems vague, it's because it is. That idea isn't limited to any particular topic. Ideally the power would be so limited that it wouldn't matter who's elected to the position.

Are you in party leadership? The people in leadership are the ones afraid of it because it means giving up the duopoly.

    Are you implying that my vote isn't my own or that my choice of OS doesn't have real world consequences for other people? OS'es are also a collective choice that dictate software development on the macro level and revenue flows of other people. Will me personally not buying a windows license or a PC preloaded with a license cause layoffs at Microsoft? No, but if enough of us do it will and force Microsoft to change.

    Do you think the GOP will change from the Trump/Epstein/Shapiro faction now that they've been resoundly trounced? To early to tell, but it wouldn't have the opportunity to happen at all without them losing. Same thing with the Democrats moving away from the Pelosi style wouldn't have happened without the losses in 2010.

    You also missed my qualifier about eating shit. I'm not willingly eating it. If a candidate wants my vote, they have to earn it. I'm not endorsing a giant turd for office

    This line of questioning is like asking a person if they would rather have the old octogenarian system 9 Mac OS or whatever fresh new shit Microsoft is pumping out. I've made my peace with being in the 3% or less in terms of my OSes and in my votes. I'm not willingly eating shit anymore.

    You had a pundit on CNN last night lambasting Alaska for having RCV. People in power are doing anything to keep it and it's why some of us see these contests with no real choice as having a uniparty system.

    Google Will Turn Off Search for Schools That Reject A.I. in c/technology@lemmy.world

    Can you even use a Chromebook without an account? That's the problem here most schools are locked in with Google. The schools are using Chromebooks, Google classroom, and use Google's built in integration to lock down Google search results all while blocking other search engines.

    Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020 (www.cnbc.com)
     

    archive

    My biggest impressions from the article

    Microsoft shares slid about 10% on Thursday following an earnings report that disappointed some investors, prompting the stock’s sharpest daily decline since March 2020.

    Microsoft’s finance chief, Amy Hood, argued that the cloud result could have been higher if it had allocated more data center infrastructure to customers rather than prioritizing its in-house needs.

    “If I had taken the GPUs that just came online in Q1 and Q2 in terms of GPUs and allocated them all to Azure, the KPI would have been over 40,” she said.

    Analyst Ben Reitzes of Melius Research, with a buy rating on Microsoft stock, said during CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street” on Thursday that Microsoft should double down on data center construction.

    “I think that there’s an execution issue here with Azure, where they need to literally stand up buildings a little faster,” he said.

    LMAO, the analysts and C level execs are going to accelerate the fall of Micro$lop.

    Phone recommendations (sh.itjust.works)
     

    I'm looking for a recommendation for a phone, preferably a cheap used phone since I'm not really looking to break the bank and drive a Linux phone as my main until I can do so confidently without major disruption for work purposes. So SMS and phone calls are a must.

    Things I'd like to have:

    1. 5G radio in case I use it long enough to where LTE towers get rolled further back before upgrading
    2. External monitor capable for an android auto replacement
    3. I really don't care which distro I use, but one with a large app repo would be nice.
    4. A Signal chat client
    5. VoLTE supported would be nice, but not necessary
