It’s poorly worded, but look at their link which shows Poland’s election. It will make more sense. The party only received 35% of the votes (the rest of the votes going to opposing parties), but they’d suddenly own 55% of the seats due to this system.

Honestly, the only game that’s scratched that old MMO itch for me is Old School Runescape.

But, by and large… it’s not an MMO. Give this video a watch!

Both rounds are deadly out to 1000 yards and beyond, get outta here with that crap. Whether it’s effective or not is irrelevant. You wouldn’t find me not taking cover if someone was shooting at my position with 5.56 800 yards away.

It won’t, but they can now live the rest of their lives to the absolute fullest - and they deserve to on the taxpayers dime.

This. My sister killed multiple phones per year until she went to phones with good waterproof ratings and subsequently were better sealed.

She hasn’t killed one since. That’s a lot less waste overall than before.

I’m not saying this is bad because of that, but I think it’s something people overlook.

The problem is when the temps come back down, climate deniers will go “WhAt HaPpEnEd?”.

€142 is more reasonable than I expected! I’ll toss some cash to help!

The problem here is conservatives call learning about our past mistakes “woke” and do everything in their power to remove this curriculum from our schools. For some reason, they look at it as “trying to destroy our great nation and traditional values” instead of “learning from our past to be a better country going forward.”

Except military, which they teach A LOT, we spent maybe 5 days on the crimes we committed against Native Americans, but an entire month or more on the Revolutionary War. Hell, we spent longer on learning about “world religions” than we did all our mistakes. Plus, any WW1/WW2 war crimes committed by our side is not taught whatsoever.

The best part is this huge spike just means more devs coming to the platform! Kbin is good, but maybe someone comes out with a new application that can easily do all of this even better!

Technically, you ARE on Mastodon now! Your comments are showing up here!

Think of a banana split. Lemmy is the chocolate ice cream, mastodon is the vanilla, kbin is the strawberry, etc., etc. they are all different flavors. However, they are all in one “dish” that is the Fediverse.

Doesn’t matter what flavor of ice cream you are eating, it’s still ice cream at its base and thus they speak a common language underneath it all.

It’s basically a default action when replying to someone in Mastodon. It puts their username at the front.

You can follow an entire Lemmy community. If you do that, every COMMENT will show up in your Mastodon feed. If you see a comment you are interested in, clicking on it will give the post and the context for that comment!

a/s/l - the classic first message from anyone in 2001.

Interesting times we’re are coming to, folks!

What chassis? I’ve got 256GB in an R720 but only 32 cores here!

I’m not going to say you are wrong, but I have yet to meet a single fucking person that actually cares about bubble colors.

I hear this parroted so often, but never see it myself. Didn’t see it when all I had used was Android devices, didn’t see it when I tried an iPhone and got involved in their own communities.

The proletariat is treated by the bourgeoisie the same as a mob boss treats his underlings.

Just good enough to make them comfortable, but not too comfortable to elevate themselves or no longer need them. Comfortably uncomfortable.

I agree with you, but half the US believes certain people aren’t actually people, so we have a long way to go to dismantle the problems of our world economic structure. An armed reform will just lead to authoritarianism, always has.

This is the beauty of ActivityPub and the Fediverse! We are connected by our legit mutual interests, not necessarily connected by our street address or location!

And you see the negative effects of this in many countries.

Don’t get me wrong, I totally get not having kids for financial reasons. I have kids myself, it’s been incredibly difficult. We’ve had to find the money and make ends meet, but at the end of the day we’ve been able to do it.

Lemmy itself isn’t slow, but many instance admins are struggling with performance scale due to the huge user growth. It’ll settle out, just bear with ‘em.
