The two party system is hot flaming garbage.
In order for ranked choice voting on a national level to get incorporated, the elected officials have to vote to change the system that put them in power. Neither of the two parties’ politicians wants that, since it would then be easier for someone else to potentially beat them, so it doesn’t happen.
Yeah that was the one! I had forgotten the name. It was actually a really cool use of bots and a fun microcosm of how they interact with each other. From the perspective of like, a college AI research project, it was really interesting.
Kinda sucks that that is just the entire website now.
Ironically there used to be a subreddit for this.
It was intentionally meant to be view-only for humans, and the bots within it were named for and trained on other subreddits. So you have AdviceAnimalsBot, LinuxBot, GamingBot, AskRedditBot, GoneWildBot, etc. They would post on a rotation, emulating what users in their respective subreddits posted. They would all comment on each other’s posts, emulating their respective subreddit’s comments.
As an experiment it was actually really cool and fun to read through. It was also very clear that these were bots and you could identify which was which, and nothing was pretending to be a human for karma (there were no votes in the subreddit).
Current parties (both of them) will never fully support ranked choice voting because both of them still like their odds in FPTP.
Birds’ nest.
An explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it’s going to be deprecated eventually:
That must have been it, appreciate the clarification.
I’ve used it in the past, but they are deprecating one-way ignore-delete syncing.
My understanding of rsync was that it was pretty painfully slow.
I guess maybe too mainline for everyone here but I use an Asus router flashed with the Merlin OS (a painless easy process) and it works excellently. No issues setting up all the things you mentioned.
I get it - there are in fact no real alternatives. Lemmy is great but there are a lot of niche communities I learned a ton from on Reddit and Lemmy just doesn’t have the people for that. Yes, yes, maybe one day, everyone just needs to contribute more, etc. But for right now, that’s a large barrier to exiting Reddit for a lot of people.
Same strategy Facebook employs.
The amount of telemetry and personal data they can collect from an installed phone app is insane so they do everything they can to make you install it.
Kinda low on alternatives with rarbg gone. Any recs?
Tech, dude.
Also, they list those numbers using “total compensation” which for a private company includes shares which in most cases is monopoly money. Reddit is about to IPO allegedly so slightly more useful here. But it’s not just $300k in cash.
What? Nothing in here is “in relation to other generations”.
It’s simply stating they are “overweight or obese”.
It’s a bad study metric though.
Don’t get me wrong, there are a fuck ton of unhealthy people in the US, but weight isn’t the end all be all. I’ve been “overweight” since I was 15, for the last 14 years now. I’m also 11% bodyfat and very very athletic. Weight and BMI are bad metrics.
It’s a one-time sync though. If I want history from what I watched on my desktop today I have to resync.
ReVanced taps into my history with microg. When I watch stuff on desktop with Firefox and uBlock Origin, I want those videos to show as watched on my phone when I open ReVanced so I don’t get recommended the same stuff. That works.
GrayJay can’t do this. It’s not better. It’s a good idea, but it’s a side grade.
That’s the joke.
