Canada needs proportional representation federally
  • Its the same "power corrupts" story again and again. Karina Gould gave an impassioned speech on electoral reform (http://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/house/sitting-64/hansard#Int-8963139). But after replacing Maryam Monsef as Minister of Democratic Institutions, her views suddenly became far more simplistic. In a 2017 interview on CBC's Metro Morning, she was asked "Why is it important that people at the very least believe every vote counts?". She replies "Because they do. … We literally count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, up to the majority that wins."

  • Thickeners for cream pies
  • Agar is only going to work if you heat it. Xanthan gum might be the best alternative here that requires no heating. It'll certainly make it more viscous, but might result in a less than appealing texture. I'd experiment with maybe heating a xanthan gum and agar mix, then removing from heat and stirring in the yogurt. I dunno, requires playing around depending on desired results.

  • We might need to add some more logic to the recommendation algorithm
  • https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/31aa44d23d12b5dbb5f9a131242cc82c9ef98f24/Emby.Server.Implementations/Data/SqliteItemRepository.cs#L2279 is what's discovering similar content. If the InheritedParentalRatingValue is considered zero, it's only going to match other content with the same value. Can you elaborate on "I did change the name of the key for the rating variable in the metadata to be ‘MPAA rating’ instead of the default which I think was ‘rating’ before since I found it confusing."? I suspect we're zeroing (ha ha) in on the problem.

  • We might need to add some more logic to the recommendation algorithm
  • Hey, I've worked in the recommendations/similarity calculations. Could you post a screenshot of the detail page for Inside Out? I suspect your media doesn't have associated metadata (e.g. tmdb tags) that are used to power similarity calculations.

  • Manjaro or Pop!_OS for Steam games?
  • Installing the lastest Nvidia drivers for Debian was pretty straightforward, after which everything runs smoothly. I suspect the distro you pick isn't going to matter as much as you think!

  • How far can a vegan character get in Stardew Valley?
  • I've given thought to this one as a vegan in the game industry. It's strange. I'm happy to play games like Cyberpunk and murder just about everyone in my way. But when it comes to cozy games, there's something discordant about the "build a happy little farm" vibe and "kill all the fish you want". It just doesn't match the fantasy cottagecore games are selling for me. :shrug:

  • The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook
  • I suspect the difficulty the publishers face is that fun is difficult to quantify. The read on this might end up being "All things being equal, DRM/MTX/etc aren't statistically impediments to financial success if the game is going to sell well anyway. If we percieve them to improve our bottom line, let's include them".

  • Multi community feedback

    I'm new to Summit, but not new to Lemmy. In other clients, I've subscribed to several clusters of communities. I'd love to be able to group them into multi-communities in Summit.

    Desired behaviour: That the "Create Multi Community" page show you communities you've subscribed to that aren't yet in any multi community.

    Desired behaviour: That searching for communities in the "Create Multi Community page" indicate which of the search results you're already subscribed to.

    SD prompt: "Tim Curry as a Muppet"

    Ended up with a felt version of John Carpenter's Thing.

    PSA: Dont forget to avoid round avacados

    When picking avacados to buy, aim for the ones that are longer than they are round. If it's as round as an orange, you're going to get this kind of all-pit bullshit.
