Voters rejected historic election reforms across the US, despite more than $100M push

  • The RCV proposition in Arizona was terrible.

    It allowed lawmakers to change the number of candidates who advance to the Ranked Choice Voting stage every six years, which means they could literally force it down to two candidates anyway.

    Even better, if lawmakers can’t agree on the number of advancing candidates by a deadline, the Secretary of State just gets to choose it by themselves with no oversight.

    • Google stops letting sites like Forbes rule search for “Best CBD Gummies“

  • Ooh, just right after I filtered all those sites out in my alternative search engine. Sorry Google, almost had me!

    • What should i get my 10yo nephew that’s all into radical sports and anything physical for xmas?

  • Hmm, sounds like an experience gift would go over well! I’m in the US but some cool stuff you could try giving him gift cards or tickets to?

    • Waverider, which is sort of like surfing but you don’t have to go to the beach
    • Renting an ATV for few hours to drive out on a trail
    • One of those BMX tracks for bikes instead of motorcycles
    • Indoor skydiving Sorry if none of these are under budget, I haven’t done any of these in forever so couldn’t tell you what the price is.

  • I unsubscribed from all my newsletters and subscribed to them through RSS where I could. That way I don’t have to be bothered unless i specifically want to read any updates!

  • I went to a Regal Cinema for the first time a few months ago and they played 20 minutes of ads that began at the advertised movie start times. Insane.

    • I'm feeling like just hiding in bed for the next 4 years. Friends on Lemmy, got any advice for us Americans coping with the oncoming shit show that is the Trump GOP takeover?

  • Wow. What a resource. Thanks for putting this together in such a sharable format!

    • If I wanted to troll Nazi's/White Supremacist how would I go about it? I have heard of trolling and kinda got an idea but how do I find the groups growing the hatred around the world online?

  • Best guide for it is by TRaSH.

    Equipment-wise, you’ll want:

    • Lots of HDD storage. A 1080p movie is about 10GB so if you have an idea of how many movies/shows you want you can figure that out, but once you start I guarantee you’ll keep going so be sure you give yourself more room!
    • A device in your network connected to your router and is on 24/7 — I use a Synology NAS, but you could use a Rasperry Pi or a PC that you leave on. It’s much easier if it can run Docker!

    You can start with torrenting if you want it to be 100% free, then if you like how it’s going and want much faster downloads and better availability you can dip into Usenet — I spend under $100 on an indexer and provider.

    The most basic setup uses:

    • qBittorrent as the torrent downloader
    • Radarr as the movie manager
    • Sonarr as the TV show manager
    • Prowlarr as the indexer manager
    • Plex as the media server

    Depending on how much you like tinkering with stuff, you can get into Usenet downloaders like sabnzb, requesting services like Overseer, notification services like Notifiarr… and more.

    The easiest way to get going is with Docker and using docker-compose files when they’re provided in documentation.
