My brother in christ, you are still missing the point.

So you pick up a message that reads “867-5309” and the receiver picks up their landline and calls.

So you have a phone number now. One that you probably already had given the organization we’re talking about. If the call is staying landline and within the boundaries of their country, you aren’t picking up shit with your SDR. You need to have a physical tap somewhere.

They swapped cell phones which send and receive for pagers that receive only. Think for 2 seconds what that means for tracking. To say nothing of also losing the fucking microphone and camera…

There’s a reason pagers are allowed into SCIFs where phones and other devices which send are not.

There’s more to security than your experience picking up unencrypted shit with an SDR.

They might be in regards to emanation.

It’s funny how confident comments like these are without really thinking it though.

It’s gonna piss Trump off so I’m cool.

If I get back into it, I’ll probably try out Bigscreen. I haven’t dug deep enough into it to know if it requires an account but I wouldn’t expect this one to require it.

I paid for lifetime in 2012. Worth it.

So you get… support for getting rid of FPTP. But no actual changes because you’re lucky to get 5% of the vote.

I think in reality you get to feel like you’ve washed your hands of it and “did what you could” and then after the election you can say, “hey, I didn’t vote for them” and feel good inside.

In other words, fuck all.

And when those candidates get 5% max of the vote, what does it get you?

How’s that, exactly?

Yes

Thank you. That’s more than I get from most “just vote third party” commenters. But then you say,

Instead of people choosing what they think is best for us

The FPTP voting system results in 2 major parties where 3rd parties have no chance of winning. It’s not people who’ve decided to do what they can to perpetuate the 2 party system we have - it’s the system itself which needs to change. The people mostly vote logically (with the exception of 3rd party voters) given the current rules of the system.

No, you will categorize people by color.

If you refuse, you are raci… Wait…

Already saving lives.

but have you ever tried to explain RCV to anyone over the age of 50?

Just call it instant runoff then. It’s the same thing (as I understand it) and has been in the American lexicon for some time now.

This is a pivot and Lemmy will eat it up because “USA BAD” but is not a response to the topic in the thread which is that third party votes are meaningless.

Let’s see if I can get a direct answer: Do you know that the next president of the US will be the Dem or Rep nominee?

The next president will be either the Dem or Rep nominee.

If you believe otherwise I would like to wager a large sum of money.

It is, yes. But it’s also legal to make your own.

Bro keep up. They doin’ it again.

What’s your sample size, do you actually talk to many gen z

They aren’t the only ones to have noticed this issue.

If you asked them where they saved a photo on a smartphone…

“Where did you save the file” isn’t typically asked in the context of a smart phone. Maybe on Android more so than iOS.

The problem with your argument is that it is 100% possible to get ChatGPT to produce verbatim extracts of copyrighted works.

What method still works? I’d like to try it.

I have access to ChatGPT 4, and the latest Anthropic model.

Edit: hm… no answers but downvotes. I wonder why that is.

No one asked to see my state standardized test scores either and those were mandatory to take.

This is a bit of a slippery slope fallacy, I think.

To be clear, I don’t think anyone should be forced to take the ASVAB.

I didn’t submit SAT (or equivalents) and still got accepted into several different colleges.

I never finished because I’m a shit student but I’m also making over 240k with no degree.

So, even now colleges and employers don’t care. Maybe higher tier colleges but I was never getting into those anyway.
