Yeah. If you're on a public forum accessible to anyone, which the whole fediverse is, then you should never assume privacy.

Honestly transparency in this regard would be better - they're already visible to much of the community, so they might as well be visible to everyone.

Votes should absolutely be public. They were on KBin, and it made people more civil for it because you could be shamed if you were dislike trolling or liking all of your own posts/comments to make them look better (which is something you actively have to do on here, unlike Reddit).

Given this place is pseudo-anonymous anyways, and people comment far more personal and identifiable info here anyways (which tbf you should be careful about), I think public votes would do much more good than harm.

Wow a Republican with a spine, I didn't think those existed anymore

Sounds great until you realise these rules, with respect to POWs, are broken so often that they're barely worth the paper they're written on.

I think the only remotely sane person in the room was the one at the end who shouted "there are things you don't do". Albeit they're all advocating for genocide, so none of them are respectable.

Arguably their biggest mistake was trying to fight both world superpowers at once, in the USSR and Great Britain backed by the US. I can't imagine how they thought that would go well, but thank fuck they did, cause I wouldn't want to see the world they envisioned.

Given that complex life as we know it is only about 500-600 million years old, around the time of the Cambrian Explosion, the only image that comes to mind is two Eukaryotic cells getting frisky, having a one replication stand, then parting ways

I hate the idea of a president essentially being a monarch whilst in power, but I kinda do wish that Biden would do something to bite the anti-democracy members of the SCOTUS in the ass over this ruling

It's a tale as old as time for the right-wing... in the words of Bono, "Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you".

The right-wing doesn't know empathy past their nose, so as long as it's innocent Palestinians being killed in droves and not their own, they won't care two shits.

Whelp, anyone who took bets on him acting like a war hero over this can now go collect your winnings - which is just more listening to Trump unfortunately.

Because that's comparing oranges to apples.

In terms of pure image quality, real objects would win every time because they only have to be filtered by our eyes - digital images are filtered through the GPU and screen before ever reaching our eyes.

As such, the real contest is the ability of displays to make digital images look comparable to those real objects - because that's harder to do vs. ust looking at the real life object, it's more impressive to us.
