Exactly. Just be responsible and don’t do anything dumb with your security. Do the typical stuff right like using a password manager and updating your software often. With your programming, don’t skip ssl validation, don’t have unauthenticated connections that matter, don’t shell out, etc. On your local system, use permissions correctly, keep a local firewall, and all that good stuff. You should be fine, but it’s never 100%.
It’s not worth my time. Thanks for the conversation.
I only mentioned that you might find it interesting. Please take your emotions elsewhere.
You should probably get some outside opinions that aren’t on Lemmy. Lemmy seems to have a very specific crowd that tends to be an echo chamber for certain beliefs and opinions. There are better things to do with your vote than not vote at all.
Edit: The fact that this was down-voted is proof of Lemmy’s echo chamber tendencies, ha.
It shows where the US stands compared to other countries in a democracy index. But it sounds like you aren’t interested, so I’m sorry to have bothered you.

I have to vote Biden or American democracy will end
I made a graphic that describes what others have probably recommended:
If you vote for a candidate that you know will lose, then it practically makes the same impact as not voting at all.
democracy is just going to end sooner or later anyway
This is speculative, and a bad reason to not vote on purpose. The US has a flawed democracy, and it can get better. Voting won’t “fix” our government alone, but not voting is a guaranteed way to let others choose and vote for you.
I’m not sure what you’re alluding to. One party probably won’t win every election until the end of days, nor should it. However, votes are one way that we have a voice in government, and your government represents you less when your voice isn’t heard.
Same thing as every election: vote!
It’s due to shitty rendering of Markdown. You’re doing it right. File bugs where you see it rendered funny.
I made a graphic about why this is important
You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.
Well that’s a wild assumption.
Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.
I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.

Not only am I vegetarian, but I’m queer, too. That place is great at destroying families. I wouldn’t eat there even if I loved eating chicken.
I’m a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They’re often too occupied to hear what I’m saying well, and they don’t always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.
This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I’m in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren’t dead and you’ll see what I mean.
I asked an important question that was not designed to be petulant in any way. I’ll be polite and not bother you if you refuse to answer it due to emotional reasons. Thank you for your conversation.
You didn’t answer the question.
