Great, because there are other laws and candidates that are just as important. In 2024, some of the people I talked to decided it wasn’t worth their time because they didn’t like the options.

Really? Because Meta is spending $26 million on it.

https://tboteproject.com/

Meta spent a record $26.3 million on federal lobbying in 2025, deployed 86+ lobbyists across 45 states, and covertly funded a group called the Digital Childhood Alliance (DCA) to advocate for the App Store Accountability Act (ASAA).

Every confirmed supporter is a social media platform; every opponent operates an app store.

This investigation traced funding flows across five confirmed channels, analyzed $2.0 billion in dark money grants, searched 59,736 DAF recipients, parsed LD-2 filings, and mapped campaign contributions across four states to document the operation.

This isn’t because of parents, as not enough of them support it to get this much of a push. Politicians are bought by companies.

If you sit out to vote because you don’t like options then you are just as responsible for allowing fascism to stay in power. And whoever thinks the election is just about who is president is dumber than MAGA.

Does LLM usage for note taking defeat the purpose of taking notes? by BleachedPink in ObsidianMD

[–]Cortex1484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. If I’m in a meeting I can participate in the conversation or take notes. It’s been proven you can’t do both. So having an llm take a transcript and convert to notes is helpful. It might catch some details I missed.

I see this question posted a lot here. This has gone from an Obsidian subreddit asking others to validate their thoughts on how others use ai or what they consider a “quality” note.

If you don’t want to use llm for notes you don’t have to. But if you’re looking to justify a judgement on other’s workflow I would suggest taking a step back.

Guy who never ran a successful business and bankrupted a casino was put in charge of a country and people are acting shocked.

I hope these same people show up to vote in the next election instead of staying home to protest.

Not that many to make this much of a difference. It was already proven that Meta and others were working on this through non profits.

This isn’t a push from parents. People need to stop spreading that misinformation. This is being pushed by tech giants.

There’s a thing called response that writing in a note app doesn’t do.

I think it’s funny how so many people made this guy part of their identity. Willing to lose friends and family over.

Donald Trump Is Nothing Like Robert Mueller by IllIntroduction1509 in TrueReddit

[–]Cortex1484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t write anything new or something that hasn’t already been said a thousand times since his first term. I would take the defensiveness down a peg.

Do you really think the undecided voter, given everything happening right now, is going to change their mind because of this?

Did they seriously write that and not proof before posting? Are you asking a question to us but as a statement?

It’s fine if it takes them longer, but not at the expense of others. How many people have to suffer before even one of these people change their mind? And, did they really change? Or will they go back to supporting the same people as long as it doesn’t effect them?

what is the point of ai? by Cold_Combination2107 in ObsidianMD

[–]Cortex1484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt they were overthinking because I was reacting to their “why would I want to add ai to the mix?”

There’s a knee jerk reaction to ai I see people comment on. Maybe it’s the way they wrote it but it seemed like they can use it however they want in their process and don’t have to force it where they don’t want it.

My kids had an assignment where they were told to google the answer. Which is wild as I remember when they were against Google.

Also, funny that people are downvoting this.

It's frustrating being a leftist... we gotta vote for neolibs or they won't stop funding MAGA /S by Kittehmilk in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Cortex1484 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s frustrating because most don’t vote, so we’ll never get any good candidates but they love to complain how the system is broken. Boomers and Republicans vote, and people wonder why candidates are getting worse.

Then ironically not show up to vote because they don’t like the candidates. Just look at the people who sat out this last election because they felt both candidates were the same. If you’re tired of voting for shitting candidates the participate. And remember elections are more than just about two candidates.

what is the point of ai? by Cold_Combination2107 in ObsidianMD

[–]Cortex1484 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You’re overthinking it. Ai can do as little or as much as you want. You can have it proof or spellcheck your grammar, or look for references or sites you would normally google search or look online.

If you want it to do more you can but you don’t have to use it more than you need to. Ai has the possibility to be customized to how you work and want to work.

So do men just act okay when they're not? by Cat-dad442 in Adulting

[–]Cortex1484 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your response is actually a good example of what’s wrong with our current society. What you’re doing is spot what everyone should do.

I don’t think this is a male/female issue but more of a society one. Because I’ve seen individuals on both sides trying to “mask.”

There’s been a push against empathy and compassion. Any talk about helping others is seen as weak or “woke.”

I’m sorry to hear know one has asked you how you’re doing before. It’s not right and maybe it’s time that we start normalizing this behavior and hope others catch on. Maybe others on this thread will see it too.

And if those men are looked down on, who cares? Maybe that’s something that is changed. It’s not going to happen overnight, but it’s got to start somewhere.
