STAR voting is so much better than RCV. RCV is only marginally better than first past the post.

Yea, last time I tired, you have to connect to its personal wifi hotspot and download them via the app. It’s so backwards!

Super based. He likes girls, and he wastes no time.

It’s quicker to load a known json into a know UI than an entire webpage. Plus, you don’t get any features in the webpage like swiping, double tapping, or notifications (for things like DMs).

I use a Lemmy app because it’s faster and just works. It hasn’t asked for any extra permissions.

When they introduced the app back in December 2016, they gave you a free burger/fish filet. Me and my college roommate took advantage of this and made accounts with sharklasers.com emails. We got 3 free burgers a day just by driving to the closest McDonald’s, down the road 10 mins to the next one, then back.

Yeah I have an even smaller USB-C one. It sticks out less than 0.5cm from the port.

Damn… I go to a corner store Amazon Go almost every time I go into the office for a flavored seltzer. They have dog treats and my my dog loves going there every time.

I hope this is one of the convenience stores that it keeps open.

It was weird that last year they reversed the way you pay, making you pay/scan your code on the way out. So backwards to the “just walk out” motto. They went back on it less than 6 months later.

Ah, I misread that as American cards have PINs.

Sounds like they need a new credit card company. Mine wouldn’t even hesitate to cancel the transaction because it’s so obvious at that point.

Huh? There so so many protections with cards. All of my cards can very easily do a charge back and they’ll fight the charge with the retailer, not you. You only use a PIN for debit cards using a debit transaction because it’s a direct transfer, resulting in no card fees, very much the same as cash. No real credit cards have a PIN.

Edit: ah, I see they weren’t talking about American credit cards. My mistake! Interesting to learn that other countries do though.

Yea I was about to say. I play games that stay around 120 on my hardware and dip to maybe 80 sometimes. It’s not that noticeable, especially during action and if the dips aren’t super sudden drops. But 45-60 is noticeable.

If it’s made in flutter, doesn’t that mean you easily publish it to the iOS App Store? Isn’t the main point of flutter to publish to both iOS and Android?

And RCV (ranked choice voting) isn’t really that much better. It has potential to be better if everyone voted honestly, but voting is a game.

STAR (score then automatic runoff) is the best we can feasibly achieve. It’s easy to teach and our current voting systems can account for this with little to no update (unlike RCV). Please look into star and push for this locally, then we can get this on a state by state basis.

How will verification be done? Are they making the websites foot the bill for verification, which pornhub is super against, or are they going to make a centralized device verification, like how Louisiana did, allowing its residents to access pornhub again?

How is the 25% decided? Public content or private, like a Dropbox system? 25% by file size, length (how are pictures counted here), or just per item (would a gallery or picture be the item here)?

These legislatures know NOTHING about technology and how it all works and are just doing this for censorship and LGBTQ+ discrimination.

Like, even making $200k, comprehending 10% of that income is $20k. That’s poverty. But if you’re making $200M, just 0.1% of that is $200k. That’s not poverty. Why are they making 1% of me? It can be the system… /s

There is no awareness with the upper elite.

I haven’t. Just intense gaming, coding, and some 2D game design. But I feel like that’s very outdated to have plugins in windows that don’t work with any CPU.

I have moved so far away from intel. You need a big cooler and they still use more power. You can get more performance with AMD while using less power.

It’s been 4 years since I built my last one, but I still think it holds true.

I haven’t experienced any issue with my AMD in the last 4 years. I don’t think it’s an issue anymore. A CPU is a CPU and your OS should tell the CPU what to do.

Yep. I setup sonarr, radarr, jackett, overseerr, and whatever the autounzipper is last year when netflix nixed password sharing and haven’t looked back. Streaming stuff is as easy as just adding something to my plex watch list. Sometimes it misses it, so I have to manually add it, but it’s not even that hard. It works for my older parents too.

Do you not know how to properly search in discord? Sure forums are better but a message in discord isn’t “gone forever” if you’re searching. It’s a pretty fast to search too, which is an insanely impressive feat due to the sheer amount of messages.

Woah. Why all the aggression?

I charge every 2-3 hours for 15-25 mins. So a 6.5 hour trip will take about 7.5-8 hours. For my latest cross country trip, it took 48 hours with charging from Seattle to Jackson Mississippi. Google says it’s a 38 hour drive. So it added about 25% but he drive was so much more enjoyable. We got food at all of our stops so it didn’t add that much time when you factor in stopping for food, gas, water, dog, etc. Sure it adds a little time, but it helps me stay awake.

Charging infrastructure is only going to get better and faster. Imagine a 500mile battery that charges to 80 in 15 mins. You’ll only stop every 4-5 hours for 15 mins. About the same as a gas car now.

Also, that’s why I said I can’t wait to have charging infrastructure with other automakers.

I didn’t say everyone should get an EV either. I’d much rather have better mass public transit. I’m just saying the infrastructure is there for EV charging.
