@fu @orladediez Getting rid of the rules doesn't make it fair. It makes it unfair in the direction of the already monied.

@fu @orladediez They can live in it all they like. But once they start treating it like a business, well then there are rules and regulations to keep things fair.

@clacke @hausfath @CarolynFus But if we get our shit together it will be getting hotter less fast.

@CarolynFus @hausfath When we stop being idiots and significantly cut emissions. And even then there will be a lag.

@JorgeStolfi @arichtman @mcc @modulux Oh they don't get to choose. Australia you put your preferences in your choice of order. The person who comes last has their second choices redistributed, and then the next last gets theirs redistributed, and so forth and so on. Until someone gets over 50%. We have the House and the Senate that we vote on. So two different papers. One is fairly short because it's just your area. The other is for your State. The candidate can suggest order, but not control.

@arichtman @JorgeStolfi @mcc @modulux Preferential or ranked choice voting yes. We also have mandatory voting (with early voting and sometimes other forms for people that can't get in on the day). Queues to vote are usually less than half an hour, and there's often someone nearby selling democracy sausages inna bun or cake. It's not perfect. Humans are still prone to right wing fearmongering, but it tends to less extremism.

@jikodesu Admittedly this is made easier by not drinking alcohol.

@Joe_Hill @josh0 At least it's easier to turn off the AI options in DDG. And it's basically backed up by bing anyway

@jeremydebose To be honest I use the aftershokz bone induction headsets. Paired pretty well and it doesn't block my other hearing. (If you want to block out ambient noise then this of course will not work for you)

@georgetakei Microwaves target the water molecules in the food specifically, so it doesn't need to heat up the entire space and work from the outside in. It just heats up the water within the food reasonably evenly and fast.
In case anyone did want to know.

@katmckatniss The ones just randomly spamming are also fairly easy to spot. Every so often I do a report and block on them.

@jpgoldberg @Caution @mekkaokereke There's free speech and then there's free listening. Just because the government can't jail you for speaking your mind doesn't mean I have to listen to your gibberish (general you here obviously)

@FlashMobOfOne @Nonya_Bidniss Well, I suppose they know that few Americans are progressive.

@FlashMobOfOne @Nonya_Bidniss Well, just because he's going for VP now doesn't mean he might not be president in the future. His chances of it for 2028 or 2032 just went up massively. And KH is the one that picked him for a running mate. So she has some good judgement there.

@atzanteol @nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski So the summary would also be bad, because GIGO.

@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski By teaching everyone things that aren't correct.

@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski LLMs at the moment don't give accurate information. But sure, tell me that I can give up my job and give it over to machines which do not give accurate information.

@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski So it's good at doing bad writing? How is that useful?

@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski From what I've heard not great code. What data does it collate?

@nicholas_saunders @dogpile @jeffowski Is that the exams that they found out that were fudged?
Tell me, do you check that the summary it gives you is correct?
