What about coffee?

That experiment has been pretty thoroughly discredited.

If you are what you do, then what determines what you do? Random chance? I don’t see how one can argue that people don’t have an essence and explain why they act at all. Rousseau said it was benign. Hobbes said it was wretched. It has to be something. If people were perfectly free of compulsion, would they do nothing?

Finally got my last PC switched off Windows. It feels good.

Fucking cool, and also remember to leave your phone at home, or at least on airplane mode.

Do you have a reference on graphene being affected by the app signing? I tried to find an answer earlier, and came up with nothing.

It would be interesting to learn something about the demographics on Lemmy.

I usually liken the bad vibes on Lemmy to being stuck with a bunch of cynical teenagers. Nothing is ever good enough, nothing good can happen. They know this with absolute certainty.

I am also probably older than average here.

Rage bait?

Are you objecting to him being described as a refugee?

Is this another one of those where Steam Deck gets lumped under Arch?

I’m kinda surprised how willing this court is to burn its own credibility for small inconveniences to the Trump regime. I expected them to sell out the rule of law at some point, but I figured they’d do it for something big, with a maximum show of courtly gravitas. This is just clumsy and obvious.

Maybe the Amish were on to something.

sheepishly raises hand

I always read the article and this is no exception. Do you have anything to add to the conversation besides snarky assumptions?

I suppose when the author says AI they mean LLMs. The machine learning models that, say, interpret mammograms don’t have nearly the same issues, and I’d hate to see them all thrown on the pyre together.

I think it was satire

I keep trying to eat meat but it just won’t cooperate!

Yeah it’s not that districted voting requires FPTP, but I think the point was that it has an effect that’s similar.

Even if you had RCV in each district so that the elected candidate was generally more preferred by the people in that district, you could still end up with an aggregated outcome where no members from a given party win any districts, yet still had some small portion of voters in each district. In that way the unlucky party gets no representation despite having a non-zero voter base.

So while I wouldn’t use the phrase “inherently bad” to describe district elections, I think the arguments in favor of districtless, proportional voting are stronger.

This issue is actually pretty weird. Racial gerrymandering is a violation of the voting rights act, hence illegal. Partisan gerrymandering is completely legal.

In practice this seems to mean that it is harder to gerrymander in states where racial voting patterns align with party, e.g. whites vote Republican, blacks vote Democrat. In states where party lines do not predominantly fall on racial lines, you can hack up the districts to favor your party as much as you like.
