  • I'd personally rather approval or star voting, since ranked choice can create voter apathy through too many candidates (look up the voter response to portland oregons's last election for an example). Having to pick a unique rank for everyone is kind of arbitrary imo, but honestly anything is better than what we have

  • Rush hour traffic in Utrecht, Netherlands 🇳🇱

    Jump

  • I don't live there, but I've often heard that the common rationale for not wearing a helmet is that bike-bike or bike-human accidents usually don't result in head injuries. Usually, it is a bike-car accident that can result in head injuries, and if you get hit by a car at speed then you have other issues.

    You are correct either way, but the problem wouldn't be as bad if bike lanes are completely separated from cars. I do not have a source, but I'd assume that places like 's-Hertogenbosch, Houten and Utrecht have less head injuries due to the better (completely separated from cars) bike infrastructure compared to Amsterdam or Rotterdam.

  • I just want to appreciate the eloquency of your statement. I have been saying essentially the same thing, but not quite put as well, so I am stealing this!

    I've also been saying I wish it was a true judge and jury that would have locked him away and silenced his hatred instead of some vigilante, but that is when I am feeling like irritating specific people.

  • Grocery Chains Are Passing Trump Tariff Costs on to US Consumers With Higher Prices: Report

    Jump

  • Why not both? Republicans lock the fuck in when it comes to voting in just enough locations to flip seats. They turn out to vote in the necessary areas, where democrats don't.

    I might not be able to change any republican's mind by telling them they are stupid as hell for voting the way they do (or give them facts that they would just ignore), but I can show up and encourage all my friends and family to vote against a fascist in our red district.

  • The building you're currently in/you just came out of is suddenly kicked out of your country without explanation. What would you do?

  • There is a movie that kind of approaches this concept-- the Terminal. The main guy, while in the airport, sees his country erupt in a war on TV and his nation is dissolved. He can't go back since all flights to and fro have been canceled. He hasn't passed customs, so he isn't legally in the country. So he kind of has to live off the facilities in the airport.

  • I'll bring my activism organizing experience over there happily, just figuring out the best way to move over. New job + getting a place requires a residence permit, which requires having an address already

    Already have a family sponsor so just need the two other things to fall in place.

  • I feel this trying to move to the Netherlands. My only solace is that the quality of life there is so measurably better there than it is where I am now. They would have to fall a lot further to get to the same dogwater conditions as the US, so there is some buffer time.

  • Glad to see more alternatives around. I have been using pairdrop.net, but it fails pretty readily on large transfers since it needs a constant connection. I've also tried transfer.sh in the past (lets you set an expiry and password if using with commandline) but I don't think that encrypts automatically and it stays on their server.

  • Some of y'all are not ready to hear this...

  • Most modern democracies don't enforce First Past the Post by law, and don't have a winner-takes-all system. A better strategy is to primary democratic representatives as much as possible, and take over down-ballot positions as soon as possible. That way we can make steps towards dismatling Citizen's United, repealing all the laws that prevent moving away from FPTP, and implement RCV.

    I am more than willing to try, if not for the fact that splitting the left would cede electoral victories to the right for several cycles while people figure out what "the new left" is. If we do this in our current era, Republicans will actually kill us while we sit on our ass and convince ourselves to split our vote (as has been shown with the most recent administration)...

    This has been shown in history-- every time a third party tries to get made, the opposition party wins for several cycles. The most notable of which is (imo) Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive party in 1912. It got 27% of the vote (2nd in terms of popular vote and won several downstream races). But, the left vote was split by 27%, so the right won by a very large majority. They decided to ultimately dissolve and infiltrate the left wing party.

  • Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bit

    Jump

  • Followup question, if you don't mind! What still needs to be maintained on the Win32 system on behalf of the Fedora maintainers? If everyone has moved on from 32bit, and the old stuff doesn't change, where is the maintenance requirement? Could we not find a "final" version and leave it static, but still available in the package manager?

    Is it that packaging requirements change for different systems to keep up with hardware drivers/new package managers/kernel removing deprecated features/security vulnerability patches?

  • Spaniards packing water pistols blame impact of mass tourism for housing crunch

    Jump

  • IIRC, Netherlands tried to limit long term airbnb in multiple cities, but the data has shown that long term rental prices still increase over time. Some cities' airbnb regulation has actually raised rent prices due to the further limited supply.

    More housing needs to be built. Granted, I haven't looked into if there are any limits on corporate ownership of housing, regulations that make contruction more expensive, or what the percentage of communal housing cooperatives/rent-to-buy is, which could also make a difference compared to other countries.

  • I read in another comment that there is a type of rubber bullet that has a steel ball inside- if those are shot at the floor and bounce, the ricochet can result in something like the reporter that needed calf surgery. Either way, it is fucked. Bring a cup like you'd use for football to protect your groin, and I read that skateboard helmets tend to offer more protection from the side and back of your head. I wouldn't bring a kid if there is a chance of armed civil enforcement.

  • We need the people who don't go online, or orly watch corporate news networks and only use corporate social media to notice, get interested and join in. We don't need to tell people in the echo chamber about the shit that is happening, we need to tell our neighbors, coworkers, and local politicians- to let them know that there are people who notice and want change. We won't beat corporate funded media in their game.
