of course it's a Junji Ito....nah I'm good I still think about those holes too much....
Yeah, I think it's the best detailed, but beginner-friendly, overview of why electronic voting is a bad idea. Heck, I'm Australian too, and we treat pens as too high-tech for our elections because they could be switched for ones with disappearing ink.
IMO analogue is just better for elections. Whether mail-in or not, there's a physical object with your vote attached, not just a few bytes in a computer. It is far, far harder for a bad actor to control an election when they have to contend with faking thousands of bits of paper.
Oh god, I had it set as my home page for the longest time. I never got anything done but it was great having something new every time we opened our browser.
I think the most interesting thing about these two maps, is that Georgia kind of proves the people wrong who don't vote "because it wouldn't make a difference in my state".
Lilygo T-Watch. Sorry, I know I'm late to the party but no one mentioned these. They're a little closer to a development platform, but basic enough for anyone to pick up and learn. They're similar to the PineTime in terms of being low-power, more simple options. But this uses a more powerful ESP32-S3 SoC and is a lot more responsive.
It seems to me that an essential part of a liberal democracy should be the citizen’s legal right to decide whether or not to vote. The denial of that right is an affront to democracy.
Okay, except, you absolutely do still have the right, and choice, not to vote in Australia. In practice, the only actions that are actually compulsory are showing up to a polling centre, having your name marked off the roll, and placing your ballots in the ballot boxes. There is nothing stopping you from walking straight over and chucking them in without marking them at all. Parties pay attention to the informal vote totals as well.
Friend, I have done Advanced First Aid before where I live. I've refreshed the CPR component many times. Which is the best case for that officer in question's qualifications. The thing with narcan is that, it's not great if you don't need it, but it won't kill you. However, and you're taught this in CPR training, if you perform it on someone who isn't in cardiac arrest, you can cause them to go into cardiac arrest. He literally could have killed her.
Okay, this is the silliest thing, and it's very autistic of me. I used to watch him religiously but can't anymore because of his opinion on power sockets. He believes that it's superfluous having switches by every wall socket. I grew up in Australia, where we do have those switches unlike the US where he's from, and I believe he is objectively incorrect. To be fair to me, this isn't a onetime rant or opinion, it's an ingoing series of videos, as well as many response videos by other creators. He does make good content though, and I don't mean to spoil you on watching him at all, because this is the mildest of reasons to dislike someone 😅
(and probably isn't allowed to)
I doubt very much it's about whether they are allowed too or not. They're the ones at the top of the hardware supply chain, designing their own chips and having them fabricated. It's them telling other companies, like Gigabyte and EVGA, what they are allowed or not allowed to do.
I assumed she couldn't serve the table again in character and asked another server to take it over for her.
I strongly suspect that it's the motherboard's boot mode as well. The Debian installer will use an MBR partition table if your system uses BIOS boot.
This is literally what Vivaldi is and yeah, I'd rather use Firefox with uBO.
You mean the Open Source Initiative logo? https://opensource.org/
There doesn't to be precedent from case law, the DMCA already allows for copying something for the purposes of backup for personal use only.
Spoken like someone who truly does not understand that mods are also, in fact, people.
He's already two years older than the male life expectancy in the US. He wouldn't last long enough in a prison to be forgotten.
This feels like an overreach by the lemmy.world admin...
I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.
The comments in question:
Lemmy.world modlog:
In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:
And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:
This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.
App Icons
Hey friends, I see you just pushed another test flight build, cheers for all the new updates. However, I just tried changing the App Icon and it doesn’t work at all, just stays on the default one. I tried a bunch to see if it was just one of them glitching out, but none of them work.
Can we defederate zerobytes.monster?
It’s just an instance of reposting reddit links. These showed up in my All feed sorted by Hot even though there’s zero interaction. It just feels like spam.
Hide Downvote Button
I’m on an instance that has downvotes disabled, and I’m wondering if we could add an option to hide the downvote button from the UI when the signed in instance has it disabled. I’ve changed the swipe so it doesn’t have the downvote, but it still shows up in the feed.
As well it could be nice to have a setting for an alternate to the downvote swipe so that auto-changes depending on instance as well.
Downvote Button
I’m on a server that has downvotes disabled. I’m wondering if we can get an update that hides the downvote button/slide when it’s disabled? I accidentally press it 2-3 times per day and the error dialogue can be frustrating. I was thinking there could be an option for what to replace the ‘slide right to downvote’ shortcut with when it’s hidden. Such as share or copy link.
Local Instance Link Setting
So at the moment, when you share a post, you get a link to the post on the instance the communities on. Obviously, you aren’t always sharing links with people that are also on your instance, so this behaviour is usually fine. But I have a few friends on my local instance, so it would be nice to be able to link them directly. Maybe having the options be Local/Remote/Ask, with a little options list each time if people want that.
I got this tattoo for myself the day I was diagnosed with MAIS
It's a personal mash-up of the Agender, Intersex and Transgender symbols, and a little bit of inspiration from dog desexing tattoos. I'd been questioning since late puberty if I might be Intersex, I never grew an Adam's apple and hardly any body hair despite family genetics. I came out as trans femme non-binary in my early 20s, but it wasn't until the third doctor I saw for hormones that questioned if I might have an intersex condition. The first doctor I saw never questioned that my T was well below the male range because I wanted to start HRT anyway. But he also still put me on T-blockers which have some awful side-effects, including dropping my T to completely zero. Thankfully I'm off those these days and estrogen alone keeps my T where it needs to be.
The last test that she ran was for sterility, so the day I got that result was when I got my official diagnosis. I'd never really wanted kids of my own, and didn't worry when starting HRT, but it still really shook me to learn that I'm not able too. Hence, I dropped into my local tattoo parlour with a rough sketch, because the adrenaline and pain from that helped me deal with my emotions in a more healthy way.
Anyway, hi, I'm Norah and that's my story :)
Retro Lemmy BBS in Windows Terminal
So the how-to I promised in my last post:
- Install the
neonmodempackage under your default WSL distro. I'm using Debian. You've got to move the executable to your /bin/ folder. - Go to your Windows Terminal settings and click on 'Add a new profile'. Duplicate your default profile.
- Rename the profile to 'Neon Modem Overdrive'. You can download the favicon from https://neonmodem.com/favicon.png
- Under 'Command line' you want to change it to show as below. This will launch it within it's own tab, and will close out when you quit NMO.
C:\Windows\system32\wsl.exe ~ --shell-type login neonmodem - Under 'Additional settings' at the bottom, click on 'Appearance'.
- I'm using the 'Vintage' colour scheme, and have the 'Retro terminal effects' setting enabled for those crispy old scanline vibes.
Neon Modem Overdrive in WSL
I spent this evening playing with Neon Modem Overdrive and ended up getting it set up as it's own profile in Windows Terminal. That way I could give it it's own profile, including the retro screen effect. Will comment tomorrow with a guide :)
Tab Bar looks great
I’m not sure if my feedback in my last post made a huge difference, but thank you for implementing stuff like the small red dot for inbox and changing things up. I like the new inbox icon a lot, and thank you for the setting to toggle off the username. Just updated to the latest build and the avatar in the tab bar looks great!
