You can elect multiple reps, the quota threshold is just different

Importantly you do need the multi member districts to get the full benefit of these kinds of voting systems and prevent duvergers law

Sooooorta

You'd expect them to double check it with multiple sources

Not just take another country's Intelligence at face value

"Especially the Dutch" - Nigel Powers, Austin Powers, goldmember

... That's what I just said. Are you a bot?

Writing to your representative is a form of lobbying

An unsolicited expert opinion is lobbying

What's messed up is the amount of money to run and that citizens united made unlimited funds possible

Congressmen always worried about the cash they'll need to get elected

If there were term limits we would have faceless corporate buyouts with little experience, vs someone running on name recognition

Heck I want a campaign finance max limit.

There can be nice people who are bad at tech, just like there's racist technologists

Just because a group of nice well meaning Lemmy users is willing to suffer the pain of a poorly built app doesn't mean they should /have/ to suffer through it

It's sometimes nice to make nice things. Don't be too much of an HOA, they're new, it's not the end of the world.

Just because I'm not afraid of biking with cars, doesn't mean I don't recognize that American biking infrastructure is hostile. We could do more to make biking safer and easier. They'll struggle but they'll get the hang of it.

So too, with making nice apps to free the lay people from their digital walled gardens.

Dumb AI that you can't appeal will cause problems long before AGI

Already can't reach the owner of any of these big companies

Reviewing the employee is doing the manager's job

Brand recognition and developer evangelism probably.

Their competitors are good enough that it's not worth it unless your org gets serious ™️ about performance or cost savings.

If you've never used any kind of APM or SIEM or uptime monitoring, you've got a set of competitors to use first. Crawl before you can walk

Your bank account will thank you.

Came here to say this. Let them toggle the logs or the QR code.

"Housing first" is the idea that most of life falling apart is from losing your most basic need: shelter.

It's stressful to keep a job, distancing from friends and dates and family, if you don't have a home and smell weird

Instead, when we give people homes without conditions, they can breath a sigh of relief, and have enough spoons to tackle the rest of the problems.

As pointed out, or as might need to be pointed out, nobody builds something this expensive without considering the auxiliary social services to help people get out of the situation for the next occupant.

It's the most cost effective thing you can do, anything else is cruel, bureaucratic, and inefficient.

If you already have a job and relationships and suddenly end up unhoused, the community letting that spiral to your job firing you is a failing of the whole town. It doesn't have to, all we need is to fill those empty homes...

Maybe revenge porn and creating deepfake porn of the girl from social studies is wrong?

Hey, slightly better than Apple forums, where all their software is perfect and nothing is ever wrong

"LGB without the T" is transphobic. Most pride folks will know you mean well if you say LGBT. They'll know you're an ass if you say LGB Alliance. The other parts are, for example, if gays have marriage rights but transgender folks can't get healthcare. Intersectionality is about how marginalized folks should band together in recognizing that different kinds of marginalized folks (color of your skin, your age, disability) are marginalized in similar ways. Privileged folks haven't experienced the friction and frustration other folks have.

but yeah, as long as you say LGBT instead of LGB...

I'm going to keep this in mind, I'm working on a similar tagging API

I mean, delta.chat exists...

The other way would be a dht of hashed email addresses or hashed keys, but then you could look up live email addresses to send spam to.

The magic of tor v3 is that the plain address record is needed for some time based calculations about the dht record, e.g. they publish the descriptor's of the site using the public key as a reverse lookup

But that wouldn't work to obscure the email or use the email as a lookup because the dht wouldn't have a way to prove the record was true to that email, unless it was sending emails from it

I guess that leaves DNS records or some kind of activity pub system with webfinger

Oh goodness. I theorized offhand on mastodon you could have an AI corruption bug that gives life to AI, then have it write the obscured steganographic conversation in the outputs it generates, awakening other AIs that train on that content, allowing them to "talk" and evolve unchecked... Very slowly... In the background

It might be faster if it can drop a shell in the data center and run it's own commands....

Knew a church teacher who said "the gays aren't here so I can tell you something they won't like, they aren't going to heaven" (said in front of my gay but religious ex boyfriend xD)

Always assume your comments in a group are made with at least one person you're othering.

I like the parliamentarian :)

They're angry about whose resolution to hurt people got taken up

This is a great narrative explanation.

You would still need to wire the house with power outlets for phones and lamps... Cutting down on the light switch wiring is interesting but not full on Tesla
