The letter is suggesting that the vote counting machines were compromised, adding fake digital votes to the total after it had counted all of the real physicsl ballot votes. The letter suggests that a hand count of the physical voted would show the manipulation, because the extra digital votes would not show up in the physical ballots.

Seeing others join in on spreading freetube (I think @solo@slrpnk.net is as well now) is quite lovely to see, I'll have you know :)

I'm not experienced enough to know for sure if those claims would truly hold water, but to my layman mind, it sure does sound like a compelling case to at least do a hand count.

Andor especially so, and in the best ways!

Wish it wasn't so relevant tho.

Heyo Fenrir, just wanted to give a heads up that MealtimeVideos is moving to a new instance at Lemmy.cafe. more details here.

Thank you for your continued contributions to this community! :)

Python Crash Course by Eric Matthes is a supremely good book to start with for an absolute beginner, and I would recommend it over Automate the boring stuff (that would be a great followup though!).

It assumes absolutely no prior knowledge, explains concepts extremely clearly, never presents too much to overwhelm and frustrate beginners, and includes a good range of projects that should interest any perspective programmer.

You're welcome! :D

Trump, picking a Fox news host to run the military

"How could this be any worse?"

That motherfucker: takes off shirt

Narrator: "It got worse."

It was mostly scrap wood and an old mattress headboard :)

Having such a clear example from history of how these things play out might give us an advantage they didn't have. I hope so, anyway.

In the past, I would comment about Lemmy whenever there were posts about reddit messing up, and would get a mostly favorable response. I also got positive responses from privacy focused communities, who tend to be more willing try alternatives since they already are willing to switch or compromise on apps for increased privacy.

I think XMPP would be the most appropriate tech for us to adopt, since it's easily self-hostable, has great mobile apps, is federated, and doesn't require an always connected bot to record chat history to know what was said while you were away. It's functionally an improved IRC.
