Ah apologies, I missed that. STV is good too, the Scottish use that and it results in good representation for everyone

AI datacenters are very far from the typical electrical load of a cloud datacenter, no existing data center has planned appropriately for this because we’re only now discovering the bad effects it’s having on the grid
Funnily enough AC usage is very easily modelled because it’s a well understood distributed load, directly linked to weather. Plus large modern buildings should be built with grid aware AC that adjusts load based on grid demand anyway. I know Siemens and Ericsson both have commercial solutions for that, so I imagine there’s more I don’t know about.

I really want to like them too, but they seemingly aren’t compatible with how I play games. I need to be able to put a game down for a couple of weeks and not feel like I’m back at square one because the specific muscle memory for that game has gone.
Just kinda kills the fun when the game is effectively telling me to get good, when I don’t actually have the amount of free time IRL necessary to do that.
Versus FPTP, which funnels votes to 2 big parties, forces strategic voting and discards everyone else’s opinions?
Ranked choice allows the politicians in a country to see what people actually want. There’s been countless elections in my country where I’d have voted Green if I knew that vote would then be transferred to the party of my preference, rather than effectively being a vote for the party I like least (as a third party vote is in FPTP).
If the incoming government knows the only reason they got in was down to a load of transferred green votes, they would be pressured to push for a policy agenda more skewed in that direction and in theory should result in a government more representative of the people that voted for it

We have a democratic leadership process and the labour membership elected an actually left-of-centre leader
Reports followed Jeremy Corbyn’s run as leader of the party that the BlaIrite wing (centre right part of the party) did everything in their power to sabotage him.
Social liberals are almost as megalomaniac as standard conservatives, it sadly seems. If they don’t get to be in charge, no one does, in their eyes.

There is a very strong set precedent that “I was just following orders” does not come close to cutting it.
Cede conservatives a fraction of an inch and they will take a hundred miles.

Shame they’re not santanists
Great guitarist
That looks like a pretty cheap subscription fee for a country ~25%.
Mine is closer to actually half, though we get healthcare and a half decent social safety net with ours.
Happy to pay it because I know I’d not be where I am now without the stuff taxes pay for
And several friends at the festival have just confirmed that the Prodigy was a ridiculously strong finish for the weekend.
Peak FOMO right now
I found out about them about a year ago thanks to Lemmy, funnily
I was wondering why one of the Aussie instances was called quokk.au

I’m fairly sure we’re only taking about a hundred quid of fisher-price plastic rather than an actual drum kit.
9point6@lemmy.worldto Out of the loop@lemmy.world•[ANSWERED] What's going on with some person seemingly called "PirateSoftware" and the stop killing games campaign?0·2 days agoThat’s not at all how any of this works.
The petition only makes legislators aware of the issue
They will then come to their own conclusions, through outreach and research.
There is no way in hell that any legislator just takes the words of a petition without thought or any further research.
Petitions are about numbers, not words.
9point6@lemmy.worldto Out of the loop@lemmy.world•[ANSWERED] What's going on with some person seemingly called "PirateSoftware" and the stop killing games campaign?0·2 days agoThe wording of the petition has zero impact on any legislation that may follow.
A petition’s purpose is literally only to alert the governing body that enough people give a shit about this that they should have a discussion about it. It has no additional power beyond that.
That discussion might end up going nowhere, it might end up convincing some politicians that maybe we need some legislation in this area. What they will then do, is talk to everyone they can about coming up with legislation that’s practical and works for everyone involved.
The wording of the petition does not matter, because it has no bearing on any subsequent action whatsoever. All a petition can do is force a conversation between politicians.
Your comment is a fantastic example of how he has muddied the waters, none of what you have said is relevant at all to the petition process.
We are not a direct democracy, legislators write legislation. Petitioners don’t.
All this guy is doing is silencing people.
9point6@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is the biggest issue with Lemmy?1·2 days agoThe two main “hard left” instances have been defederated from LW too (hex and grad)
LML is ostensibly a general instance with a strong left wing slant. So I’m assuming those are the users you’re referring to. Every time I’ve personally seen a LML user step over the line for a given community’s rules, they have been banned for it.
Predominantly though, those users are capable of understanding rules and following them.
That’s literally all anyone needs to do.
It’s not really about political views. It’s simply about not being an asshole.
9point6@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is the biggest issue with Lemmy?1·2 days agoThe solution is to behave with civility online and you don’t get banned. No one needs to break instance rules.
If someone is incapable of doing that, why should they get to participate?
The fact that they happen to predominantly come with right wing view points is, frankly, secondary. It’s literally the bare minimum amount of effort in life to simply not be a nuisance.
9point6@lemmy.worldto Out of the loop@lemmy.world•[ANSWERED] What's going on with some person seemingly called "PirateSoftware" and the stop killing games campaign?0·2 days agoFrom what I’ve read, his criticisms aren’t valid because this is a petition to legislate, not legislation. He seems to think the wording of the petition is important when it isn’t, the number of signatures it gets is
Best case scenario he’s got no idea what he’s talking about, worst case, he’s deliberately muddying the water.
100,000 means they are forced to debate it in parliament.
If we get to that point, email your MP and tell them to show up
