- Comment on Have Americans always been this stupid? 15 hours ago:
Is it a cultural difference with Europe (and other parts of the world) to not go in the streets?
Yes, it’s not like it’s entirely unheard of here in the USA (look at what happened with the killing of George Floyd) but for systemic issues, it doesn’t generally get people in the streets, I think at least partly because there’s so many we’ve put up with for so long. There’s also the economics of it where we have less or no time off from work to get out for such events.
Are those occurring but the medias do not inform us on it?
There are protests happening but there does seem to be, putting it charitably, a lack of interest to report on such things, and the protests that are happening don’t seem to be of very notable size (again, that could be media spin).
Are people scared to protest?
Yes, I imagine plenty are, especially those who may be targeted by ICE or have friends/family who may be targeted by ICE.
Or, people just don’t care or are even, in majority, happy with what happens now?
To an extent, yes. I don’t know if I’d say that the majority are happy with the things happening, but a majority are probably okay with it, or just going along in ignorance (willful or otherwise), or too busy or tired just trying to survive rather than make things better.

I’m not sure what exactly you mean by “in between” here (between 2.4 and 5 GHz?), but commercial radio in the US is at much lower frequencies than wifi bands. AM radio is typically measured in KHz (the range is something like 600-1400, I can’t be bothered to look it up), while FM radio is in MHz (around 87-108 MHz).

- Comment on Avowed's latest update comes with community requested features, lots of tweaks, and a promise of a roadmap 1 week ago:
It was more just a joke at the silliness of saying you have a promise of a promise of things to come. It’s an announcement of announcements.

- Comment on Is it a pattern for right-wing people to attack films, series and animations with protagonists from minority groups? Or is this an exaggeration? 2 weeks ago:
The answer is yes.
It was a pattern when you asked ~4 months ago, and when you asked five weeks ago, and when you asked two weeks ago, and when you asked about Zendaya specifically 3 days ago. At this point the more curious pattern is you asking about this over and over.

- Comment on When Lemmy got named did no one think that the "lemming" association might alienate people? 2 weeks ago:
From wikipedia:
In a 2020 post, Lemmy’s co-creator Dessalines wrote about the origin of the name Lemmy. “It was nameless for a long time, but I wanted to keep with the fediverse tradition of naming projects after animals. I was playing that old-school game Lemmings, and Lemmy (from Motorhead) had passed away that week, and we held a few polls for names, and I went with that.”

- Comment on What are the democrats actually doing to help? 4 weeks ago:
On a federal level, there really isn’t much they can do that I’m aware of. It’d be nice to see them blanket oppose his cabinet picks but that would only be symbolic since they don’t have the numbers. They can’t get any laws passed, and even if they could, Trump has no problem disregarding the law, which the Supreme Court says is fine.
If they wanted to go outside the law I guess they could try to organize some kind of coup, but failure at any stage would not only be career suicide but possibly actual suicide given that treason is punishable by death, and this administration would be gleeful to carry out that sentence against Dems. And if it did succeed, that still wouldn’t do anything about the oligarchy propping up Trump, they’d just have another puppet (Vance) to fall back on.
