I think you are conflating two things. We can have a viable third party with ranked choice voting. We don’t necessarily need PR.

Personally I think PR will fragment the parliament and destabilise the government.

Also if you look at 2024, PR would’ve given many seats to Reform…

Humanity is just a prolonged organic chemical reaction happening on an insignificant speck of dust floating in space. We are not that important.

Universe is still insane though, but for different reasons.

… and give them corkscrews.

Belief is necessary but not sufficient.

All power in our society is based on belief if you think about it.

Accents exist, you know.

“are” is a perfectly valid pronunciation of “our” I think, at least in some accents. Writing it as “are”, on the other hand does feel wrong.

I have a bunch of smart devices - light bulbs, wall plugs, etc. They all connect to Home Assistant running on my own server and I don’t need to pay any subscriptions.

IoT is not the problem, corporate greed is.

I already said? It doesn’t affect FSR

This is bad reporting from phoronix (not surprising). The performance bug has nothing to do with FSR. It was just discovered in an FSR demo.

Yeah this Tesla owner is dumb. wdym “we just need to train the AI to know what deer butts look like”? Tesla had radar and sonar, it didn’t need to know what a deer’s butt looks like because radar would’ve told it something was there! But they took it away because Musk had the genius idea of only using cameras for whatever reason.

I have a pet theory that in the old times before there was good lighting at night, people who rose early had been more productive and got richer. Their descendants remain part of the ruling class today, and that’s why companies usually demand that the work day starts early. Of course nowadays there’s no real need for that, they are just mad with power and want to show it off by oppressing the workers.

It’s called weak forms, this video goes into a lot of details about them, has examples of “that that” as well: https://youtu.be/qlbGtEg68x4

When Linus becomes entertaining is when he is not doing his job properly.

That’s why what Linus said was stupid when he brought WWII into this conversation…

The only problem I have with this is if I eat this many eggs in one sitting I will be on bed for the next couple of days.

Well, I never argued for not sanctioning them. I just think it’s kind of fucked either way - if sanctions work, they start hating sanction imposers and band behind the dictator; if sanctions don’t work, then obviously they are going to praise the dictator for his good work. It’s lose-lose.

And I don’t know if you have noticed or not, unfortunately, the sanctions aren’t working that well… Maybe the answer is more sanctions? idk

Where should they move to? Countries that aren’t sanctioning Russia right now are likely to be… problematic? in other ways. But I am also pretty ignorant about which countries are on that list, and I would like to know more.

Maybe they need to become pirates on international water…

Not as much as living in Palestine or Ukraine.
