That's fair!

can't see a reason you need that info

We don't need it :)

Since the community on the fediverse is smaller than other social media platforms, the main goal of the census has been to create some graphs that people can look at. Since Lemmy (and Fediverse platforms in general) avoids collecting any data that isn't necessary for basic functionality, the census allows people to voluntarily share what they want to.

For example, when we first ran the census, we saw that the average user here is indeed older than on other platforms. Or how we have more users from British Columbia than we would expect based on population.

Then over time we adjusted the questions, and generally added more questions based on feedback that people were curious about more areas.

You can see some of those posts here:

I can also understand that people are generally cautious about giving out information these days, and we're always open to adjusting things based on feedback. Maybe we can add a question near the beginning to let people choose which sections to display?

Relevant bit

The DMCA filing states that several files in the Rockchip MPP repository are derived from FFmpeg’s libavcodec sources. It lists AV1, H.265, and VP9 decoder files, and claims the copied code is clear because of matching structure, comments, and commented-out calls to FFmpeg functions with their original names.

Much of FFmpeg, including libavcodec, uses the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. This license allows reuse, but only if certain rules are followed. These rules include keeping copyright notices, giving proper credit, and ensuring any shared code remains under an LGPL-compatible license.

The DMCA notice says Rockchip broke these rules by removing the original copyright and author details, claiming the copied code as their own, and sharing it under the Apache license, which does not meet LGPL requirements here.

If you can open the console, are there any error messages? I found this old (closed) issue on their GitHub that sounds similar. If you get an error message, that might help us investigate what's happening.

Otherwise if you're comfortable with us being able to associate your lemmy account with your responses, I can DM you the questions for you to fill out manually, then mix them into the final result :)

You can choose all answers on multiple choice questions, including choices that are mutually exclusive.

I'll have to add that to my review checklist for next time. At least one of those was an error (ex. It doesn't make sense to be in multiple levels of school currently). For others, it would be clearer to have a single selection with an option for "both about equally" (ex. Desktop vs. mobile usage).

a lack of definitions of terms. Is a town with 150 people "urban" because you have a street address and most people don't work in another town/city, is it "suburban" because you need to go to a different town to buy groceries, or is it "rural" because that's how most people who live there self-identify?

Many of those questions are intended to be self-identification, but we could have said that explicitly so that people aren't uncertain. The reasons we didn't have set definitions:

• People disagree on which definition/method is most appropriate, and we haven't had the capacity to properly weigh the options / determine what value each definition might provide over the others.
• It seems that people are more curious about the self-identified groupings than the exact details. Both factor in to what the online experience is like, but the self-identification would play a larger role?
• Privacy. We want people to feel comfortable answering questions, without worrying that someone will figure out their real identity by aggregating the answers. It's much harder to do that if it's uncertain on why the user answered the way that they did.

Still, we are open to adding definitions to questions where it would make more sense to do so. For example, we added the fast.com and census/gov Canada links this time. Otherwise we can explicitly say that users should answer based on self-identification.

I appreciate the feedback! I've noted this down for next time

This also makes me wonder why the xkcd one was laid out like that. Is the xkcd one better/safer, or was it done that way to look more insane.

On yours, the Canada/US and UK layouts overlap, while in the xkcd one they're opposite to each other.

This does depend on where you live. In a dense city where you always have access to stores and services, it's not as vital. Meanwhile someone who lives and works in an isolated area would want to keep more tools on them or in their vehicle (flashlight, first aid kit, lighter, multitool/knife, etc)

So this was actually intentional, and @Dave@lemmy.nz and I discussed how we could word it in order to let people pick the option that made the most sense to them.

I think a lot of people are in a similar situation as you, and would be making a similar choice

Definitely! I meant to cross post it and didn't get around to it

I'll share it on !fediverse@lemmy.world and maybe !lemmyapps@lemmy.world in a moment, feel free to share it wherever you want to :)

Do you have any privacy settings / extensions that might be causing it? I'm seeing results come in from other people

Ah

We will do some data cleaning afterwards

Good to know, we just added some warnings about it. We're trying out FormBricks for the first time with this survey, and this is one of the issues we'll need to look into

edit: We've made the links unclickable in the meantime. The census is long, so I didn't want people to lose their progress near the end. The links are here:

• Speed test: https://fast.com/
• Ethnicity options: https://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2021/ref/dict/app/index-eng.cfm?ID=a2_5
• Education options: https://canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/settle-canada/education/school-types/post-secondary.html

Some acronyms are regional. Maybe it's very common where you live, but uncommon elsewhere

Some other things I considered

• Lite
• Long Term (like LTS)
• some limited edition model I wasn't familiar with

I would have asked to clarify as well

@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz, this post has a few reports, are you able to see them from your instance?

@ooli3@sopuli.xyz, would you be able to edit a [satire] tag (or something similar) into the post title?

Adding on to the other comment, it's one of the theories for why allergies exist

Each of our antibodies seem to have a specific job, and that allows them to call for the correct response for the type of threat they are dealing with (ex. Fighting one large thing vs many small things, where in the body is it happening, what kind of cells are involved, etc)

Of those, IgE is the one that's tied to allergies. Turns out it's also involved in the response against parasitic worms. Parisitic worm infections aren't as common in many parts of the modern world, while allergies are. So maybe we can treat allergies by studying worm infections

The classes differ in their biological properties, functional locations and ability to deal with different antigens, as depicted in the table.[19] For example, IgE antibodies are responsible for an allergic response consisting of histamine release from mast cells, often a sole contributor to asthma (though other pathways exist as do symptoms very similar to yet not technically asthma). The variable region of these antibodies bind to allergic antigen, for example house dust mite particles, while its Fc region (in the ε heavy chains) binds to Fc receptor ε on a mast cell, triggering its degranulation: the release of molecules stored in its granules.[46]

In Britain specifically:

The data of millions of people in Britain is at risk as a result of significant cybersecurity issues with the government’s planned Digital ID, multiple whistleblowers have warned.

lol TIL

🐈️🔥🔥🔥

Every now and then I'll need to confirm an update, but most happen unattended. I don't know why there's that discrepancy

There are a few browsers/browser engines in the works, but right now you could try a Firefox fork
