DC Campaign to Submit Over 40K Signatures for Open Primaries, Ranked Choice Voting
  • Maybe it's just to me, but liberal/national coalition and labor seem like the two major parties, green is barely at the table still.

    If you exclude the coalition, national has 4 times the representation of green, and liberal 3 times that.

    Just my opinion here, but it's still two major parties, with the thirds coming up in ranks and getting some momentum going. It'll be a good day imo when the greens overtake the nationals (and maybe one day the liberals), but I personally don't see it as representative of the people yet. Improving, but still functionally two parties.

  • It's still not that old (~10 years or so iirc), it takes time for a third party to be major contentender. Earlier on you're more likely to see third party wins in more local than national level elections.

    It's not an insta-win for third parties. But that's ok, because local elections matter, and that's where you'd typically see results first.

  • Begging for all the Lemmy Audiophiles recommendations on computer speakers!
  • Studio monitors are excellent choices, but expensive. I've used genelecs for pretty much every audio workstation I've ever done, I'm a huge fan, but you're also talking $800 and up.

    You can sometimes find a good deal on some used studio monitors, which to me is the way to go. A long ways back I decommissioned some genelecs for a studio (surprise surprise, the new studio had newer versions of the same model), and I've been using them since at home. Roughly 15 years now.

  • What are your thoughts on this? "How did Mozilla Firefox go from being the best and most beloved browser to suddenly the worst company and browser according to Reddit"
  • I wouldn't say they are wrong, I've got plenty of issues with Firefox that aren't in chromium-based browsers. Mostly with media playback, but on Android the toolbar hide on scroll is a mess, no matter what it just covers the page. Makes it really hard to use a menu or click a button depending on where it is. I also have some locally run services that throw js errors in FF but not in cromite, chromium, or chrome.

    Doesn't mean I don't prefer FF because I acknowledge it has problems. I don't generally view videos in my browser anyway, and I disable the hide-on-scroll feature. And if I have a particularly problematic site (the js errors), I open cromite or whatever.

    The bigger issue isn't people talking about bugs, but downplaying the role the foundation plays in supporting users. That, imo, is where a lot of misinformation and disinformation seems to live.

  • Debian used to be so good. What happened!?
  • This is why Debian is my server of choice, and my work desktop of choice.

    OP, There are some flavors of Debian out there that are more rapid release, like LMDE, Siduction, Sparky, even Kali (though I wouldn't recommend Kali as a primary desktop personally). Some based on Sid, some based on Testing.

  • Old timers know
  • It could, but I'm in my early 40s.

    I just started early with a TI-99/4A, then a 286, before building my own p133.

    So the "World Wide Web!" posters were there for me in middle school.

    Still old lol

  • Old timers know
  • Like anything else, it's good to know how to do it in many different ways, it may help you down the line.

    In production in an oddball environment, I have a python script to ftp transfer to a black box with only ftp exposed as an option.

    Another system rebuilds nightly only if code changes, publishing to a QC location. QC gives it a quick review (we are talking website here, QC is "text looks good and nothing looks weird"), clicks a button to approve, and it gets published the following night.

    I've had hardware (again, black box system) where I was able to leverage git because it was the only command exposed. Aka, the command they forgot to lock down and are using to update their device. Their intent was to sneakernet a thumb drive over to it for updates, I believe in sneaker longevity and wanted to work around that.

    So you should know how to navigate your way around in FTP, it's a good thing! But I'd also recommend learning about all the other ways as well, it can help in the future.

  • Finally playing with POWER.
  • Get rid of the plastic, attach it to one of your own gloves.

    Way better experience. Also really good for home grown vr in the early 90's (combined with some LCDs nabbed off camcamcorders and a VGA to s-video (or composite) converter).

    i'd love to see a new powerglove. Though I think at this point an esp32 and some sensors could do all the same tricks... Hmmmm...

  • Comments with numbers to start seem to have a formatting issue.

    Top line is simply "1300."

    Going to test with some more in the comments here.
