linuxFan@vlemmy.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What did the super-mods, that modded the top 50+ default subs, do during the r/pocalypse?English4·2 years agoMaybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a–holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.
Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?
I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.
linuxFan@vlemmy.netto Linux@lemmy.ml•Good dumb TV for my living room media center?English61·2 years agoI’ve been looking for a TV for awhile now, and I’ve found that there aren’t really any practical dumb ones. There are a few models, but they’re more expensive and have lower specs, cheaper panels, fewer menu options, etc.
Overall, the smart TVs are going to be cheaper/better because the company plans to make money on target ads, data mining, etc. Just don’t connect it or enter a wi-fi password. Sadly that’s where we’re at now.

linuxFan@vlemmy.netto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Before the Spam and Bean wars get out of hand...English4·2 years agoNot even gonna lie. I’m going to try this.

I’ll see myself out.
linuxFan@vlemmy.netto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Costco golf simulator $19,999.99English9·2 years agoI guess I’m just a cynic, but I assumed this was in reference to a politician who recently received a golf simulator from a campaign donor. He didn’t disclose it in accordance with state law concerning gifts over $100, but I’m sure he meant to but forgot.
Or it would just be a random post.
When I was growing up, back in the Paleozoic era, I’m pretty sure it was illegal to have a red light on the front, white light on the back(except for backup lights), and blue or green were illegal anywhere on a vehicle. But all that seems to have gone out the window since then.
Of course any vehicle that’s been modified to produce excess smoke violates federal (EPA) and possibly local law, but we see how well that’s enforced.
linuxFan@vlemmy.netto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How is it possible that roughly 50% of Americans can’t read above a 6th grade level and how are 21% just flat out illiterate?142·2 years agoI think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.
Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe “news” that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won’t get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.
So education funding rarely gets increased.

Ahh. That explains a lot. Thanks.
