Nice, tried the link and they couldn’t even set up https. Their target base won’t even be able to type that link out lol.

One random thing that really annoys me is that the site shakespeare.mit.edu does not properly forward http requests to https although they have an https version of the site.
baatliwala@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Funniest thing I’ve ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow… No they don’t.

If you are using Firefox, enable https everywhere setting and it fixes stuff like that

I went hiking recently. State park, at least a mile from the campground, peaceful and quiet.
Then I noticed something scrawled on one of the trail markers. Some dipshit wrote “Fuck Joe Biden” on it.
Holy shit, how miserable do you have to be to do that? To carry a marker and tag a tree just to express how you can’t stop thinking about the guy, and make it other people’s problem, even in the middle of nowhere when you’re not even around.

The link redirects to an Americans for prosperity form, hosted on an domain hosted by the i-360 political data platform. And also…
“Americans for Prosperity (AFP), founded in 2004, is a libertarian conservative political advocacy group in the United States affiliated with brothers Charles Koch and the late David Koch.[6] As the Koch family’s primary political advocacy group, it is one of the most influential American conservative organizations.[7][8]” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_for_Prosperity#:~…

The Koch brothers are an example of the problem posed to democracy of having huge amounts of money in a few hands

Absolute dirtbags. Them calling themselves libertarian is a fucking joke.
Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 years ago
They are the writers of some of the earliest libertarian “doctrine”, dude get a fucking clue. They are libertarianism. These assholes are so libertarian they put “privatize water ways” in their dogma.

I wonder what that mushbrain even thinks “Bidenomics” is, like the government’s been doing anything that isn’t basic capitalist theory.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 years ago
You can find out pretty easily by looking at the website. It’s a letter-writing campaign.

I’ve been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it…
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 years ago
That’s because a great deal of it is owned by Sinclair, and they love putting right-wing messages on their radio and TV stations in one form or another.
Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Oh yes Sinclair Media the only company that could make Clear Channel(I Heart Media) look like the good guys
intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 years ago
What kinds of right-wing messages do they put on their air?
kttnpunk@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Thanks for elucidating on this!
SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You are saying Christmas music is “ridiculously conservative”? wtf, is the holiday season. You have plenty of other stations that don’t play it to listen to.
kttnpunk@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Not where I live, 9/10 are playing that 24/7 and the best I can really hope for otherwise is a Pink Floyd single. Also I’m a pagan who doesn’t believe in a heavily revised book of total hodgepodge so I hate having it shoved in my face.
Marsey_Enjoyer@lemm.ee 2 years ago
Have you tried not being a grumpy godless commie? Imagine saying that Christmas is conservative.
HikingVet@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
You don’t have to be a godless commie to dislike having a religious event be commercialised and shoved down your throat months before the event.
kttnpunk@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Christmas is so conservative, it’s capitalist, deceitful and alienating. Literally a textbook example of why conservatism is bad - we should be giving gifts and showing appreciation to each other all year!

I’ve found the censorship on things like youtube and such to be wildly inconsistent. I’ve seen obvious nazi or racist profile pics on youtube that have been up for years. Post a video though of a band playing a copywritten piece though and it is down in a few weeks.
CitizenKong@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Before Musk, Twitter claimed that hey couldn’t effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so… yeah.
AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Seems perfectly consistent to me. Enforcement when financially convenient.
YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 2 years ago
It wasn’t from some stupid commercial?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Yeah. That’s what I’m thinking. I’ve seen websites on my car display that match up with the commercial that’s playing. If that website paid for ad time, then there’s nothing shady going on here. Well, no more shady than any other advertising.
Yuper@lemmy.world 2 years ago
They have different metadata during regular commercials. And doing metadata during songs. This only shows up when the “DJ” is speaking.

Bidenomics has been a disaster. Things are not as rosy as they claim.
Pratai@lemmy.ca 2 years ago
When one of you are willing to offer up an alternative solution that even remotely resembles an inclination that you’re paying attention to the problem at hand- we’ll start taking you seriously.
Until then, you’ll remain the joke that you are to everyone with a functioning brain.
Kengaro0@lemmy.world 2 years ago
You mean like tax cuts for the rich to fix every problem? Because that’s all they have.

Tygr@lemmy.world 2 years ago
This type of comment that says their side is right… are just hilarious to me. Corporations bought your government through bill riders packed in 1,000 page bills.
Neither side wants to fix this mess, because their millions in campaign funding relies on keeping corporations and fat cats happy.
If you are in the bottom 95%, you aren’t being served by your government anymore.
This Conservative vs Liberal fighting is exactly what they want. Serves as a nice distraction.

Just wait until you learn who cranked the interest rates down to nothing and handed a bunch of free money to the rich at a time when supply chains were almost completely shut down during the pandemic...
Beefytootz@lemmy.world 2 years ago
I feel like that doesn’t get discussed enough. The supplements provided under trump hindered way more than they helped. Might I remind you that those were promised and then delayed because Trump wanted his fucking name printed on the checks. Outside of that, the paycheck protection program was a disaster! So many companies took advantage of that while shitting all over the employees that that was supposed to help. All the while, mom and pop shops and other local places got shafted because the mega corporations tapped the fund. Then it all got forgiven?? You’ve got what is essentially neutered unemployment benefits performed solely to act as a clout grab, and you’ve got hyper inflation into the absolute wrong end of the scale of where it should go. More people focus on the former instead of the latter like the latter never happened.
K1nsey6@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Wait until you hear that Biden kept the guy that cranked down those interest rates, the same one that now has interest rates for homes in the upper 8%. Then kept those tax cuts for the rich, while pretending the inflation was due to supply chain issues and not capitalist greed.
