'Did Joe Biden Drop Out' Google Searches Spike on Election Night, Suggesting Many Americans Had No Idea He Wasn't Running
'Did Joe Biden Drop Out' Google Searches Spike on Election Night, Suggesting Many Americans Had No Idea He Wasn't Running
The spike began around 6 a.m. on Election Day, and continued to rise over the course of the day until reaching its peak at midnight Wednesday.Elizabeth Urban (Latin Times)
FOSDEM 2025 – Social Web Devroom – Call For Participation
FOSDEM is a huge grassroots Free and Open Source Software conference held annually in Brussels, Belgium. It brings together thousands of users and developers from Europe and around the world. The conference is organized into themed tracks called "developer rooms" or "devrooms".
For the first time (I think) there will be a devroom at FOSDEM 2025 devoted to Open Source software that implements ActivityPub or is otherwise closely related to the Fediverse.
Interested software developers are invited to submit proposals for talks at the event. It would be especially great to have talks about Lemmy or from the wider Lemmy ecosystem, since this is such an important part of the Fediverse developer community.
Instructions for submitting a proposal are in the linked blog post. Please let me know if you have any questions!

i wonder if the topic of the linux kernel project's maintainers expulsion of russian contributors is going to be a thing on an official agenda at conferences like this anytime soon given that its implications for the future could result in a schism of the entire world's foss community into 2 factions like it did in early christianity. i'm foreseeing a world where's there's linux-kernel-incorporated for the american oligarchs vs actually free openFoss for the rest of the world.
its going to suck to live in a world where i sometimes have to consider buying a debianTM six month free trial membership with an auto renewal contract requirement and despite the fact that i only have a single question since nobody on the openFoss social media network communities were able to help me due to reddit style capitalist enshitification once again, but this time on a global scale where propaganda has successfully leveraged a culture war to divide the foss world into two realities.
one side of that reality includes the richest men the world has ever seen and so can afford armies of the finest foss minds, all paid ABSURDLY well to devote 100% of their time & effort vs the other side of that reality whose ranks are filled by unpaid volunteers with day jobs like lemmy is for us right now.
pessimism and experience informs my expectations on how the majority will continue to smother out dissenting opinions at all costs; including the presidency and despite all warnings about a repeat of the 2016 election and 40,000+ lives needless wasted.
they could even literally stop right now and until january just to give them a chance to grieve and treat their wounded; but no: the orphan crushing machine must continue along its binary only "choice" on the meme trolly towards the "strategic" and "realistic" choice to keep track with that timetable that MLK jr. wrote about.
i was a reddit liberal that resolved to stop using it in solidarity with the reddit blackout protests like most of lemmy's most active userbase is today; talking to them has taught me that the reddit userbase boost of ghosting lemmies haunting content that; just like it is on reddit, the lionshare of which; is generated by your most fervent userbase and not by the overwhelming majority of upvoting, low-effort commenting lurkers. it's the people who are are ostracized by society and on social media as "bots" and "tankies" that create the art & music or even big general interest things like star trek.
lemmy has made me aware that the systematic history that liberals and conservatives are hellbent on dragging us into in perpetuity guarantees that dissenting opinions will continue to be smothered out by the overwhelming majority no matter how constructive that criticism is and even if it costs things like this election; facism; genocide; and further depleting your support through disillusioning and scaring your base about the future.
i got reddit style shadow banned as punishment from the star trek instance for respectfully sharing constructive criticism that was vindicated by the election and i had a cassandra-like experience with my fellow star trek instance trekkies when they defederated from hexbear. watching my fellow redditors afflict lemmy with the same tired social media tribalism that helped enshitify reddit through acts like fracturing off the instance-trekkies from everyone else. leaving us to helplessly witness them self isolate themselves in slow motion and their communities inevitable get absorption into .world thanks to raising shields and firing phasers at the first sign of any dissenting opinion.

Statement from Bernie Sanders: "Will the big money interests and well-paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign?"
Full text of statement:
"It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them. First, it was the white working class, and now it is Latino and Black workers as well. While the Democratic leadership defend the status quo, the American people are angry and want change. And they're right.
Today, while the very rich are doing phenomenally well, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck and we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. Unbelievably, real, inflation-accounted-for weekly wages for the average American worker are actually lower now than they were 50 years ago.
Today, despite an explosion in technology and worker productivity, many young people will have a worse standard of living than their parents. And many of them worry that Artificial Intelligence and robotics will make a bad situation even worse.
Today, despite spending far more per capita than other countries, we remain the only wealthy nation not to guarantee health care to all as a human right and we pay, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. We, alone among major countries, cannot even guarantee paid family and medical leave.
Today, despite strong opposition from a majority or Americans, we continue to spend billions funding the extremist Netanyahu government's all out war against the Palestinian people which has led to the horrific humanitarian disaster of mass malnutrition and the starvation of thousands of children.
While the big money interests and well paid consultants who control the Democratic Party learn any real lessons from this disastrous campaign? Will they understand the pain and political alienation that tens of millions of Americans are experiencing? Do they have any ideas as to how we can take on the increasingly powerful Oligarchy which has so much political power? Probably not.
In the coming weeks and months those of us concerned about grassroots democracy and economic justice need to have some very serious political discussions.
Stay tuned."

Did it? Under Biden homelessness has soared, home ownership is down, credit card debt is the highest it's ever been by every single metric, and we're fully funding and even sending troops into aide by a genocide. On top of this we somehow started a war with Iran and we're on the brink of war with China, the most peaceful nation currently on the planet.
If I were to tell you Trump did any of this, you wouldn't be surprised, because it's his policies and results of his policies too.
Fake document scandal reveals Israeli efforts to undermine ceasefire talks
Israeli internal intelligence arrested four Israelis, one of whom works in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, on charges of leaking and falsifying classified documents concerning the ongoing war on Gaza, an Israeli court revealed over the weekend.
The fabricated documents allegedly leaked by one of Netanyahu’s aides were falsely attributed to the late Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar. The revelations of the recent fabrications repudiate Israeli propaganda claims of Hamas’s alleged intransigence in ceasefire negotiations throughout the war, especially during the last round of negotiations over the summer.
During those negotiations, Netanyahu had insisted that Israel must maintain a permanent military presence along the Philadelphi corridor, a strip of land bordering Gaza and Egypt, because he claimed that Hamas was using it to smuggle weapons and supplies.
At around the same time, the leaked documents falsely claimed that the Philadelphi corridor was to be used by Hamas to smuggle Israeli captives out of Gaza alongside Sinwar.
The leak case was classified by Israel’s military censor until the Israeli court revealed the name of the main suspect. According to Israeli reports that followed the easing of censorship, highly classified documents acquired by the Israeli army in Gaza were misquoted, misattributed, and selectively leaked alongside fabricated information to the media in a way that served Netanyahu’s purpose of sabotaging a potential ceasefire and captives exchange deal — in service of his agenda of prolonging the war.

I’m beside myself today. I pretty much cleared my day of meetings and just did what work I could muster.
I can’t believe that Trump won. But then again, what’s with the Democrats going to the center? Obama won because he spoke to progressive causes.
Our two party system is a wreck. And I can’t even say Trump didn’t get the popular vote, because he fucking did.
The problem is that people didn’t show up and vote for Kamala Harris. White men didn’t vote or voted for Trump in a much larger way than vote Democrat.
And to those who didn’t vote and want to complain later? STFU. If you don’t vote you don’t get to complain when shit hits the fan.
Look, all we can do is brace ourselves for a dumpster fire.
This isn’t going to be good.
Fittingly, it’s November 6th and 80 fucking degrees in the Philadelphia-metro area. Ironic? Nah, Mother Nature just said “fuck it, I give up!”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking to move from Pennsylvania. Somewhere more Blue and will give some protections, while we have them.
I’m shocked that the Latino vote went so much for Trump, when they will probably be the most impacted by his policies. And not in a good way.
Honestly, this is so fucked up. A convicted felon (among a bunch of other things) just became POTUS (and for the 2nd time). And yet people can’t get a job at McDonalds with a criminal record. That’s messed up beyond belief.

Please take a step back, take a few breaths, and try to be coherent to the context you're replying.
If I were you I would either recant my position or be VERY offended that I was accused with merit of being a white supremacist. You singled out as a distinction that the bad things would happen here. To people like you. Fairly explicit that should mean something more than the lives that aren't yours.
This is definitional chauvinism.
Wanna take another crack at replying now?
Just for context, you're a white supremacist trump supporter type, right? That's how you envision yourself?
Because I've literally never heard the "pointing out racism is the real racism" line save from them.
never was. cant support the pos even before P2025 made the news. being pan and fucking lebanese, there's virtually nothing about the guy that i would be willing to support, short of dying of stress and old age before he can take over again.
racism is present in all parts of the political spectrum, but I guess its hard to tell when you only see the world in black and white.
by the way, your elitist tone is pretty annoying
Tit for tat. You responded to nothing I said this entire time. I'm supposed to respond to your comment that ignored my criticism of what you said by turning the conversation to who you are?
Fuck off.
i’m assuming you couldn’t reason yourself to a proper rebuttal.
Back to you, shithead.
do i really have to draw the lines between my responses and yours?

This is interesting as you seemed to do some impressive mental gymnastics to claim i was a skinhead or something. i didn't respond to it because I had no idea how my first comment suggested i was racist. and, knowing how you probably think, wanna use this rhetoric to somehow prove that I am
It was.
talking about your hasty conclusion to Regal's claim which brings up 1st and 3rd world countries without mentioning skin color. that dude said absolutely nothing about race.
Just for context, you’re a white supremacist trump supporter type, right?
I already told you I'm not, and went into further detail into why, including bringing my own race into record since you seem to be quick to judge things based on race
If you don’t want to be talked down to, get out of the gutter.
and how does this respond to anything else in the parent comment other than the very last line, which seems to have touched a nerve?
so, as it seems you're getting a bit heated, imma suggest you do what you told me to do earlier
Please take a step back, take a few breaths
why would you waste your time typing all of that out to a critical audience? You said absolutely fucking nothing and filled a page with it.

Literally the first fractional piece of actual content in your post. And all it did was name the subject.
i didn’t respond to it because I had no idea how my first comment suggested i was racist
Then either ask or shut the fuck up? Do you need to be taught how to talk to people in the first place??
All this boiled down to was "lol I didn't reply because I didn't want to"
So okay? Can we acknowledge that you're being a giant piece of shit and move on?

I resent having ever met you. You're an unalloyed detriment.
wow you got mad! comparing me to trump really shows off your insecurities. are you actually trying to lead us to believe every American has a Caucasian background? Seriously? Because that's exactly what you're implying in the following statement:
Now, now. They made a distinction. It was just between the value of white lives and brown lives.
...in response to:
One mostly exports the genocide to the third worldThe other wants to bring it home.
What else could this mean? Someone from a specific country doesn't mean they have a specific skin color. Aren't there other marginalized groups to consider? for instance, the LGBT groups that far-right wingers have been antagonizing here in the US? Maybe its just me, but LGBT groups aren't defined by their skin color or race.
I'm fully aware I'm a piece of shit, but its only because its too easy to point out your oversimplified and flawed logic to get you ticked off for being unable to properly argue your point. man, its like its your first time on the internet.
Now, I will stand by my argument that what you said was reductive and at least a tad racist. Before you rage and reply back pointless insults and comparisons, do me a favor and send this comment chain to someone with a clear head.
Edit: actually, don't bother. This was a good way for me to vent my frustrations on the internet after this shit election, but I'm tired now and do not have the energy to argue with child-like logic anymore. Some day, you'll mature enough to understand how the world works. in the meantime, i'm just gonna ignore the next however many replies you need to send to feel better about yourself. sayonara!

Do you really need me to Google for you why the Golan Heights president is likely a worse outcome for the citizens of Gaza?
Fine, how about his commitment to arm Israel with no strings attached? No humanitarian aid, no cease fires...
Anyone who thinks the Muslim-ban president is a good outcome for Gaza only cares about the real estate value of Gaza.
how about his commitment to arm Israel with no strings attached? No humanitarian aid, no cease fires...
Oh you mean exactly like right now?
Anyone who thinks that orange man is an improvement is an idiot. But anyone who thinks Kamala would be better is also an idiot.
Israel is already getting everything they could ever wish for. There is nothing that Trump could offer that they're not already getting, including protection from the international community.
Oh wow Trump put the name on the map! Israel already illegally occupied the place and Genocided Palestinians for decades, but Trump but officially recognized it!!! (ignore israeli mass annexation and murder in the West bank the last year too)
When Netanyahu finishes ethnically cleansing Gaza under the Genocide Joe administration and starts building settlements, I will say 'no biggie'. Who cares about those millions of Palestinians undergoing a Holocaust.
The only thing that matters is when Donald J Trump officially moves the little border line on the American map. Because israel ethnically cleansing and annexxing the place under the Democrats is irrelevant.
The AIPAC donations in the primary went to Nikki Hailey. Trump started receiving his cheques after he defeated her.
Is he in their pocket now? Of course. But he was not their preferred pick.
How did you think this election was gonna go? You think there was still gonna be enough votes for Harris? Or that by some miracle a 3rd party candidate was gonna be elected?
People with your mindset are just as guilty as the dems are. No weasling out of this shitpile were now stuck in
For my part, I'm not sure it is, though lack of votes didn't help. The meme is perhaps meanspirited so soon after the painful news, but here's my question, and this is genuine: now what?
Trump will get to pick a bunch of lower federal judges and probably two more SCOTUS judges. What's the way out when it seems to me that he and his jackals control the military, the police, and the judiciary? Seems like a hopeless setup to me.
Harris lost, so what's Step 2?
Oh no, mean spirited comments that don't actually add anything useful!!
This you?
BuT BiDeN nEeDs To EaRn My VoTe!If we manage to avoid a fascist takeover, it will be in spite of the naive progressive idealogues who think they have the privilege to vote their conscience.
It's.... almost as if you do need to earn people's votes after all. Everyone already spelled everything out to you almost a year ago on changes the Dems could make but still you're wondering what Step 2 is?!?
Dems: We've tried nothing and are all out of ideas!, Third party, absolutely not!
who's y'all and what are they trying to convert you too? Are 'they' in the room with you right now?
Glad you aren't addressing any of the critiques and just gonna continue living the meme. Also, you should learn that there's a neat little feature called sorting, there's a controversial selection that's really handy for shit takes to pop up in the first few comments!
I'm most definitely looking at the complainers right now to see if they're actually listening or have just been harping the same shit for a year and now trying to blame everyone else for the problem. We need to flush out this "woe is me" crap, as if people haven't been wondering for decades how they're going to be protected or how could democracy possibly survive in such a capitalistic and corrupt system.
D's lost, I wanna get back on the field and train with new strategies and directions. There's just a bunch of butt hurt locker boys who wanna complain about members of the team instead of learning to work together in a different way.
I'm surprised to see an antinatalist support Harris. Seems morally inconsistent, though perhaps not from a consequentialist perspective. I've been blocking everyone sharing your sentiment, but I don't wanna block one of the few antinatalists here, so I'm commenting instead
Is Harris' loss my fault because I voted for De La Cruz? She could have easily earned my vote, but tried to court centrists and conservative voters instead.
So, it was worth Trump getting a second term in order for you to maintain your moral purity?
Listen, fuck Harris and every other Dem who failed to condemn the war in Gaza, they all deserve to burn in hell for that.
But did you really get what you wanted out of this?

Not a USAmerican, but by that logic:
Are Kamala, her party and her supporters who couldn't get those people to vote for Kamala also responsible for the increased suffering?
Are they responsible for the people not being convinced that the suffering would be lesser under Kamala?
Did Kamala and party show significant effort and good faith to woo those people?
Or was it the 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler thing? Asking since most online discourse I saw on it here in lemmy was like that, where they're saying Trump would be worse, instead of saying that Kamala would be better, de-escalate stuff etc.
Yes, they are morally culpable too. Even more so than the people who refused to vote for them.
That's the thing about ethics when you actually apply it in reality; someone else being wrong doesn't mean you're right.
If that's how they place the blame, then that'd be cool.
But other than that, in reality, it likely seems to become a blame game, where they don't want to look at why they lost the trust of the folk who they are blaming.
Though, I'm just seeing online interactions. Maybe offline interactions are much more decent and useful.
The Dem establishment will obviously blame anyone but themselves. That's what establishments do. That's why, assuming there are still free and fair elections in America in two years time, left wing voters in the US need to start planning now how they're going to primary out every last establishment Dem who thought that leaning right was the answer, and replace them with people who do believe in real progressive politics.
It won't work everywhere. It can't. And some of those people will inevitably get caught up in the machine, or turn out not to be what they claimed. Reality is messy. But get enough of them in and you can make a real difference. The mid-terms are the American left's opportunity to do what the right did in 2010.
But at the end of the day none of this matters, because we're just two outsiders pontificating over another country's politics. Despite how deeply those politics affect the whole world, there's nothing we can actually do about it, other than focusing on what we can do in our own back yards.
there’s plenty of blame to go around; no 1, 2, or 3 people or groups are to blame
best we can hope for now is for netanyahu to bruise the orange ego somehow and find out what petty retaliation looks like
Increased suffering? \
How can their suffering be increased more than it is now?
Israel is already getting everything could have ever wished for. There is nothing trump could do to make that worse.

What will trump do to cause more Palestinian deaths? \
What COULD he do?
Israel is already getting everything they wanted, and facing zero consequences or obstacles.
I don't disagree with you wrt American deaths, but that's not what this post is about
Granted, Biden did almost nothing to slow it down, and kept Israel well supplied with the weapons of genocide. Do you really think it's a coincidence that Netanyahu waited until the day after the election to announce that Palestinians won't be allowed to return to northern Gaza though?
Granted, that was almost certainly the plan all along, but now even the fig leaf is gone. Without the need to devote any thought at all to political cover, Israel will stop even pretending to internal investigations of accusations against their own soldiers and redeploy those resources to the battlefield.
The number of Palestinian deaths may not be different, but they'll die even sooner.
The Generals plan is in full full force. Netanyahu has already fully cleansed north Gaza.
JOE BIDEN IS STILL THE PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW.
There was never a fig leaf. They already didn't need to devote any attention to political cover, the USA already made it clear that it wouldn't tolerate holding Israel or any of the Israeli politicians accountable in international courts.
The difference between the two is purely in wording and absolutely immaterial. If anything, trump is being more honest about it.
Trump is terrible for other reasons, but they're both equal in this matter
More Americans will suffer under Trump. More people around the world will suffer with a Trump presidency. But at least you showed the democrats…
It's almost like the tankies just want what's bad for America and don't actually care about palestine or human rights.
Am I happy I was right when I told Blue MAGA they should stop running a campaign on Genocide and was banned from LemmyWorld?
No.
Was I right?
Yes.
Your takeaway should be to start ignoring the Blue MAGA cult who tell you to stick your head in the sand while Holocaust Harris is speaking. Criticize them and make them so unpopular that they run another candidate who is not Bidolf.
Alright. Well, gotta deal with the pain of having a criminal conman for a president on our individual ways, I suppose.
I'm not really interested in criticizing people, myself. You can do what you like and convince people to join you in whatever way you deem fit, but in my experience, they tend to shut down and stop listening (maybe it's my delivery). I'd much rather show them there's hope elsewhere, especially because right now, that's what a lot of people want. Honey vs. vinegar, and all that.
Alright. Well, gotta deal with the pain of having a criminal conman for a president on our individual ways, I suppose.
By applying enough pressure that they run a decent candidate. Like how they replaced Biden because he would 100% not win after the CNN debate.
By allowing Democrats to run on a Nazi agenda and censoring dissent, the Blue MAGA crowd effectively doomed themselves.
Everyone fell in line behind an emperor without clothes. Are you really surprised the emperor has no clothes now?
It's been so frustrating to have to put up with Democrats that try to enforce a Republican-style party line instead of building the coalition they need to win.
It's even more frustrating when they put a hundred times more effort into trying to build a coalition with members of the party they claim to be a threat to Democracy instead of their own left wing.

Seems a fitting epitaph for America.
A new German resolution seeks to deprive Israel critics of public money
Germany's ruling coalition government has finally agreed on a new antisemitism resolution after months of debate amongst German politicians and fears that it will silence critics of Israel.
The final draft of the resolution titled "Never Again is Now: Protecting, Preserving and Strengthening Jewish Life in Germany" was agreed upon last Friday by the coalition consisting of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the Green Party and the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), as well as the oppositional Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
Its main features are the prioritisation of the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and the withholding of state funds for artistic and scientific endeavours from those who take part in boycotts of Israel.

GIMP - GIMP 3.0 RC1 Released
cross-posted from: beehaw.org/post/16923010
2024-11-06 by GIMP TeamWe are very excited to share the first release candidate for the long-awaited GIMP 3.0! We’ve been hard at work since our last development update to get this ready, and we’re looking forward to everyone finally being able to see the results.
So, what exactly is a “release candidate” (RC)? A release candidate is something that might be ready to be GIMP 3.0, but we want the larger community to test it first and report any problems they find. If user feedback reveals only small and easy to fix bugs, we will solve those problems and issue the result as GIMP 3.0. However, we hope and expect a much larger audience to try out 3.0 RC1 - including many people who have only been using 2.10 up until now. If larger bugs and regressions are uncovered that require more substantial code changes, we may need to publish a second release candidate for further testing.

Ignorant of what, you made a baseless claim and you're just doubling down on it. Want to see MLs talking about Gaza go to
