It does make sense from a payment processing standpoint. It doesn't make sense to spend more money on creating the transaction than is actually being sent.
You don't have me convinced and I genuinely don't understand how this could be the popular opinion. You absolutely can't convince me that with a well designed system it would be easy to cheat when compared to a piece of paper.
Why the hell would software need to be more complex than a few text lines that store the results of your selections? An amateur coder could create a simple multiple choice selection system in an afternoon.
Why does anything other than a local network need to be involved? It can literally function similarly to paper ballots and have a central recipient machine that collects the results that is then handed over to a ballot authority. Please keep going on for hours about the flaws instead of simplifying the problem.
A machine that is sitting in a voting hall is as easily tampered with as a paper ballot, and it's not going to be done by the average person. Anyone who could manipulate these machines could figure out how to mess with a paper ballot.
You can't 'run out' of a digital vote. You can't 'miscount' a digital vote. If both methods have issues, why choose the one that is OBVIOUSLY easier to manipulate? Oops! Someone misplaced the piece of paper you put in. The year is 2024 and all of the possible issues you've just brought up can be solved but it seems that it would be way too easy to actually have accurate vote counts and one less voter suppression tactic in the pocket of shady governments, so they won't.
Why is it possible to run out of something that could (should) be handled entirely digitally?
"Maybe I live in the future..."
Damn Trump must've won then if future people are somehow more ignorant.
This game has no soul, it's a cross universe amalgamation of Ubisoft games but somehow manages to do nothing interesting with any of the characters or cosmetics.
Then the gameplay is just COD but somehow stiffer.
Just look at The Finals, sure, plenty of people have issues with it, but there's genuine creativity in the cosmetics and it brings something new as a shooter.
Sorry, for the pedants out there, 'why don't all stadiums have parking garage systems instead of flat parking lots?'
Why don't stadiums have their parking in large parking garages? The traffic for exiting the stadium already sucks as it is, why not a multiple entrance/exit garage system?
Seems like everyone agrees that Netflix and the writers behind the show weren't following the source material very well and were making a lot of bad decisions in terms of show direction.
Cavill is known to want to keep things close to the source material. It seems implied that the "showrunner" and writers were against that attitude, so when he started pushing back, he gets called a misogynist and g*mer for trying redirect the show.
Sounds to me like film industry bullshit and trying to redirect the narrative from someone wanting the show to stay accurate to him being misogynistic simply because he was contradicting a woman.
This is being reported poorly. This is a voluntary program that is intended for social media brand embassadors, aka, the people who go out and rep a brand. It makes sense to include some language requiring someone prepping your brand to show preferable to it.
Obviously, but we're talking about a really, really small subset of users that probably would earn Microsoft less than a week of coffee in their corporate office.
People who are technical enough to get around the system requirements to install windows 11 on a system that doesn't meet the minimum requirements is most likely technical enough to upgrade their own computer.
How does that make any sense? Does Microsoft get a cut of sales for component upgrades?
I think that's an interesting way to look at it. I find it easier to do the mental gymnastics, as you call it.
Real talk, is there some benefit to an analog clock that would prevent them from all being replaced by digital ones? Being able to know exactly the time in a moment's glance seems better to me.
They're certainly not better looking than a digital one, considering most of the ones used in schools are just the cheapest and most basic version they can get.
Power requirements maybe? Longevity?
That's fine, your moral superiority has been established. Hope you enjoy the view atop that high horse.
There it is, the standard lemmy-tier moral superiority post.
You know nothing about this person or the context of this photo. Someone using their picture as an example of dirty clothes and the look of someone who is homeless isn't going to make their life worse.
