Read the room. This ain't it.

I dont really care, to be honest.

Ok, but that's not what I asked. I didn't ask if you cared or not.

I'm blocking you now because you seem to have a weird fixation with changing the subject.

Entertainment is getting better overall

Old shows: 20+ episodes per season, little continuity between episodes (see: episodic vs serialized) and lots of filler

New shows: ~10 episodes per season, often with a story arc that lasts the entire season or longer and little filler

Streaming makes it easy to watch shows in order, which makes a serialized structure more feasible. It also offers greater flexibility in length and number of episodes. Ads are not a new thing but are easier to avoid now. The only time I really have to deal with ads are when I watch live sports.

That's certainly a choice

Cucumber was not the right casting choice for Khan. But then Ricardo Montalban's portrayal of Khan is a tough act to follow.

Astroturfing?

So harris would have been a net positive and if you cant see that, youre incredibly ignorant.

I already acknowledged the differences on other aspects, so obviously I can see it and am thus not "incredibly ignorant."

I am SPECIFICALLY asking about what Harris would have done differently regarding Israel/Palestine. Not immigration. Not LGBTQ. Not Economy. Not military actions regarding other nations. Israel/Palestine.

It's clear that Harris would be better for the American public on several metrics. But that isn't the topic of discussion presented by the top-level parent comment and thus isn't what we are going to discuss here. We can make a separate thread or string of comments on that, but not sure what we would discuss since I think most of us here are in agreement.

I'm not arguing anything here. I'm asking a question. I also wasn't the one to bring it up, that is on the parent commenter.

And as of now, only one person has actually answered the question, as presented, without changing the subject.

Yeah, it lacks user-friendliness, which makes it unapproachable to a certain extend. This deters wider adoption and makes it more difficult to sell the idea to friends, family, etc.

Matrix isn't as user-friendly as other options, but I'm a big fan and have been using it for a few years now.

It should be noted that Beeper is a technically a Matrix client that is designed around bridging to other networks (including Discord). It is only for text chats though, not voice/video support.

No one has convinced me how it is good for the general public. It seems like it will benefit corpos and governments, to the detriment of the general public.

It's just another thing they'll use to fuck over the average person.
