The corner of the screen in the first video and the corner of the object box in the second video. I just see shitty programming and shitty LCD screens. Most likely they kept touching so hard to get it to select Trump that their finger barely touched the screen below over top of Harris.
As I said, I've bought shitty Android tablets that do exactly this. The touch sensitivity is absolute garbage on them. I can't see foul play when I've experienced this many times myself.
Think about it? If someone is going to cheat, they're not going to do it in plain sight. The cheating would happen under the hood, in the software. What does showing a wrong selection do? Nothing besides make people choose whom they originally wanted. You're not a very good criminal or cheater if you tell everyone you're cheating.

Primal uses Strike's backend and that makes to KYC to use the built in wallet, but no other solution is point and click easy for sending and receiving Zaps. Cashu wallets are medium acceptable here, I guess, if you use Zeus or Phoenix as your wallet and constantly loop out to Lightning.

This user deleted his profile shortly after joining Nostr, but it wasn't because of the community. If you read the early comments before he deleted his profile, you'll see Nostriches providing help. They're giving him instructions on how to find tune his feed, choose his own algorithm, and make the most of Nostr - no matter the content.
I don't think we as a community could have done any better in this example.
I believe this failure at user retention was not at the fault of the community, but more so on the user not willing to learn.
Could we have done better? Sure. There's always room for improvement.
However, the user needs to be willing to learn as well. They need to be willing to step outside their comfort zone, just a little, and learn.
Better luck next time.

When I was a senior in high school, my grandfather passed away. It was October 31st, on Halloween. He was an electrician, a war veteran, and he loved math. He was very intelligent and extremely curious about the Internet, how it all worked. He saved money his entire life so that when he was gone, my grandmother, who just turned 98 earlier this month, would be taken care of and not have to worry about money. He would have loved Bitcoin. I know it. 🥹 Today may be Halloween and Bitcoin white paper day, but to me, it's a bit different.

Some clown back in 1997. I won a 56K modem in a contest that I didn't even enter. I only had to pay shipping. Sweet! As a dumb teenager, I sent them my debit card information over email. I got all of my money back without issue. This is why fraud insurance is a scam. That shit didn't exist 30 years ago and you didn't need it to get your money back. You just had to have your father call dozens of companies and do the work for you.

Hmm. Slight update.
The voting machines that I installed were just electronic counting machines. We still use paper ballots. But the machines do the counting.

- reply

Yep. It's been an issue for roughly a week or so that I've noticed.

2024-10-27 20:50:28

PSA: If your profile picture was hosted on void.cat in the past (you uploaded it via Snort or Iris for example) there's a good chance that it's nice missing and showing as a blank profile pic for most people. If you're not seeing this, it's most likely because your client is caching the image or uses a caching service. I'm seeing a lot of broken profiles.
