Ranked Choice Voting - A Community for Discussion and Organizing to Implement Ranked Choice Voting
  • It would be good to have a place to discuss the merits of different systems. If you want to make a change, the bulk of your efforts are going to be in breaking out of the FPTP system, and that doesn't change regardless of which voting system you support.

  • Do blurry glasses exist that you can just randomly buy?
  • Just a guess, but I think if your eyes try to focus on something and it improves the image clarity (e.g. using glasses that don't fit your eyes), then it'll keep trying and end up causing problems. If attempts at focusing have no effect (e.g. looking at blurry images), then it'll stop trying and your eyes can properly relax.

  • Fuck this guy.
  • The world isn't going to be uninhabitable within our lifetimes either. Doesn't mean we don't have a responsibility towards future generations in making sure we head in the right direction.

    slrpnk.net The penultimate list of Free Linux games, with over 100 titles! - SLRPNK

    This list is a little old, so some of the links may not work anymore, but overall it’s still a pretty solid compendium for any budget concious Linux (or Windows) gamer! -------- Know of a game that should be added to the list? Leave a comment below! ^_^ Also check out: * The LibreGameWiki [https://l...

    I suspect this is a problem with posts that have extremely long bodies like this one: https://slrpnk.net/comment/8035803

    I'm trying to scroll down to the top first comment and inevitably overshoot. When I i try to scroll back up, it suddenly jumps back to the middle of the OP's body.

    When can babies start eating bread? I don't know, but you can buy it for $37.39!

    I was looking up when babies can safely start eating untoasted bread and one of the images led me to this website that sells... stuff? Are they selling me the question? Who knows.

    Then if you scroll down to the related products, you can buy a basketball club for $30, down from $15!

    I'm guessing this is some phishing website looking to steal credit cards. I also still haven't found an answer to my original question.

    Show link domains without opening it

    Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

    Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

    How do you store your metadata?

    By metadata, I'm talking about things like text descriptions of a photo/video and where they come from, or an explanation of what a certain binary blob contains, its format, how to use it, etc.

    The best solution I have right now is xattrs, but those are dependent on the file system, and there's no guarantee that they will stay when the files get moved, especially if the person moving them is unaware of its existence. The alternative is to keep a plaintext file with this metadata alongside every photo/video/binary/etc, but that would be a huge pain to keep in sync since both files have to be moved together.

    So my question to you: do you keep this kind of metadata? If so, how do you manage them?

    [Discussion] How can we deal with misinformation?

    With the rapid advances we're currently seeing in generative AI, we're also seeing a lot of concern for large scale misinformation. Any individual with sufficient technical knowledge can now spam a forum with lots of organic looking voices and generate photos to back them up. Has anyone given some thought on how we can combat this? If so, how do you think the solution should/could look? How do you personally decide whether you're looking at a trustworthy source of information? Do you think your approach works, or are there still problems with it?

    General Purpose / Random stuff

    Is there a community meant for anything that doesn't currently fit into the existing communities?
