I think you are conflating two things. We can have a viable third party with ranked choice voting. We don’t necessarily need PR.

Personally I think PR will fragment the parliament and destabilise the government.

Also if you look at 2024, PR would’ve given many seats to Reform…

… and give them corkscrews.

Belief is necessary but not sufficient.

All power in our society is based on belief if you think about it.

Accents exist, you know.

“are” is a perfectly valid pronunciation of “our” I think, at least in some accents. Writing it as “are”, on the other hand does feel wrong.

I have a bunch of smart devices - light bulbs, wall plugs, etc. They all connect to Home Assistant running on my own server and I don’t need to pay any subscriptions.

IoT is not the problem, corporate greed is.

I already said? It doesn’t affect FSR

This is bad reporting from phoronix (not surprising). The performance bug has nothing to do with FSR. It was just discovered in an FSR demo.

Yeah this Tesla owner is dumb. wdym “we just need to train the AI to know what deer butts look like”? Tesla had radar and sonar, it didn’t need to know what a deer’s butt looks like because radar would’ve told it something was there! But they took it away because Musk had the genius idea of only using cameras for whatever reason.

When Linus becomes entertaining is when he is not doing his job properly.

That’s why what Linus said was stupid when he brought WWII into this conversation…

Well, I never argued for not sanctioning them. I just think it’s kind of fucked either way - if sanctions work, they start hating sanction imposers and band behind the dictator; if sanctions don’t work, then obviously they are going to praise the dictator for his good work. It’s lose-lose.

And I don’t know if you have noticed or not, unfortunately, the sanctions aren’t working that well… Maybe the answer is more sanctions? idk

Where should they move to? Countries that aren’t sanctioning Russia right now are likely to be… problematic? in other ways. But I am also pretty ignorant about which countries are on that list, and I would like to know more.

Maybe they need to become pirates on international water…

Not as much as living in Palestine or Ukraine.

Yeah, did US added more sanctions?

Sure… Their anger will be directed at Putin, not at who actually imposed those sanctions.

I am worried that these sanctions will make them band together and support Putin even more.

To be fair this satellite was built in 2016.

If he did that that would have been genuine discrimination. If he has to do it now because of sanctions, then ok fine. But otherwise I don’t want to see an open source project treating people differently based on where they were born.

Come on lemmy, how is this pro-racism comment upvoted so many times? Please, think.
