Texas amendment results rundown
  • The Galveston one is kind of interesting. The guy ran on eliminating the position. He's not taking the salary. There are several other counties that have gotten rid of the position. It reads like a department consolidation rather than a downsizing in terms of personnel.

  • FOSS In government use
  • GPL says you can sell the software for whatever price you want too. I could take any piece of sodtware licensed under GPLv3, bundle it up, charge people for that software (while telling them that what I am selling them is GPLv3 software and informing them that they can request a copy of the source code including any modifications that I have made to it). That's totally fine. But why would someone pay for the software if the seller is not adding any value to to product? cough windows app store cough

  • Drone (quadcopter) suggestions?
  • The DoD has a list of approved drone companies now. Some have similar features of distance sensors and such. Others try to cut costs a bit or put the money else where such as nicer motors or better GPS. Some of them even run the open source autopilot Ardupilot. https://www.diu.mil/blue-uas-cleared-list

    If those DoD options don't seem to be the right fit, there are still many commerical off the shelf options that use Ardupilot (no calling home at all) or PX4. No calling home, and (with Ardupilot at least) you'll be able to update the firmware on your own. This can gain you bug fixes and new features without waiting on the company.

    If those don't seem to have what you are looking for, we're down to DIY! Which is fun in its own way. There have been a ton of advancements in the DIY space since DJI became more mainstream. Lots of cool frame options and some very powerful processors by comparison to DJI.

    I'll leave a link to the Ardupilot and PX4 docs which list a lot of information about the last 2 options. https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rtf.html https://docs.px4.io/main/en/complete_vehicles/

  • Is it possible Lemmy's API changes the way reddits did?
  • Old reddit was just the old UI. IMO, old UI was way better than new UI.

    The reddit open source stuff was only a portion of the website and algorithm. I believe Voat and a few others might have glanced at that code. Last I looked it was still up on GitHub. https://github.com/reddit

  • Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College
  • The original intent from the Constitution was that the winner was president and the second place was vice president. Since the vice president also is the tie breaking vote in the Senate, that doesn't sit very well with the president. So they changed it to the running mate system.

    The group your talking about would essentially be the cabinet? Right? They get approved by Congress. So indirect approval by the people.

  • The World’s Oldest Active Torrent Turns 20 Years Old
  • VRR (Gsync module at least) works on Ubuntu 23.04 for sure. It's a bit limited though, but it is improving. I was able to get it working by only having one monitor plugged in and running the game in full screen (not windowed). The arch wiki has a very nice write up of the current state. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Variable_refresh_rate
