This is a great analogy for anectotal evidence ("I had a great time") vs empirical evidence (millions died, i.e. did not have a great time)

I still have mine :) I still use it every few years, though just for moving the pc to a new appartment, it's been forever since I was on a LAN party... Though mine is the basoc model, without the attachments for keaboard and cables

I get the sentiment, but at the same time it feels like a mad waste of resources and energy in a time of climate crisis. These materials and electric power could have gone into sustainable transportation or carbon capture instead of fuelling some corporations monetary gain.

When you get to vote for multiple submissions every 2-3 months, turnout tends to be lower. Probably only people who hold a strong opinion about the topics of the current vote will actually vote.

I can't wait until some major vulnarability in Denuvo pops up and either gets widely exploited or AV programs start to warn against it due to security risks

Yeah that's pretty much what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear.

I just think in order to reduce the resistance against such a change, it might be good to still provide the "old" method with voter registration for anyone who doesn't want a government ID because of "muh freedoms".

That way, any normal citizen can just have a government ID and by identifying themselves be able to vote without further registration. Any citizen who doesn't want an ID can go through a voter registration process, same as today.

They could just make a government ID that is not mandatory. Much like a passport. And whoever holds a passport or a voluntary govt ID is automatically enabled to vote using their ID / passport, but then would still leave the choice of manually registering for voting for those who don't trust "the government" and don't want a govt ID

Heh... not what I meant, but technically correct

So he's saying out loud that he wants to stage a military coup?

ISO8601 is great and all, but even without a common standard, I feel it should either be largest to smallest unit, or smallest to largest. YMD or DMY. Anything else is just asking for misunderstandings.

Same with the "select all images with bicycles", theres usually at least 2 or 3 in there that are so blurry you can't tell if it's a motorbike or a bicycle

 

Hi Lemmy

Not sure if this is the right community for requests, if not, mods feel free to delete this post.

After a long time I'm finally finding joy again in listening to music. Lately I'm into stuff that combines classical or symphonic instruments (i.e. brass, strings, piano) with modern music styles like electronica, pop or hip hop.

Stuff like the albums Symphonia or Deluxe by Schiller, or the OST of the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942.

Do you have any suggestions for similar tracks?
