"The conservatives and lib dems look pretty proportional to me. 10/10 voting system" /s

Personally I know more people who've moved away from Labour than to it, I just acknowledge that people outside of cities exist and that I live in something of a bubble.

Refusing to accept that is the sort of thinking that gets Reform so many votes as many people in large cities forget that the majority of the population don't live in cities, and so don't suffer from the problems there so much (higher cost of living and lower labour availability than rural areas) and so don't care so much about progressive or socialist policies.

EDIT: sorry, it's late, I misread, I'll keep this up and maybe edit again later because I'm too sleepy to respond to what you actually said right now

Nobody thinks we're going to have a truly left wing government, as for whatever reason vanishingly few people want to vote for that.

Even if you're not banned from hexbear can you really interact with it?

I wouldn't call someone going through the wikipedia article for informal fallacies like it's a checklist then brigading all your past activities an interaction so much as an experience, and not a good one at that.

it's also worth mentioning that JPEG was designed for photographs, where there's a very high likelihood that each pixel of an image will be a different colour to those immediately next to it. Because of this, JPEG not only has higher file sizes for text and 2d graphics/pixel art than PNG and especially a compressed SVG (which would far and away be the best method of representing the mario image - it's close to the same "tile" thing but transferrable and well supported), but it also results in artifacts and lower quality of the image.

It'd make it simpler if they skipped the shortlisting part and just treat the ones you added to the shortlist as "agree" policies though; it also would vastly increase the usefulness of the tool as well.

Their summaries of all parties stances but Reform are close to identical for the vast majority of issues; how can they write them and think "yes, people will be able to pick exactly one of these, and that should have as much weighting against the identical policies to the ones you picked as the ones you actually disagree with"

It'd be so much better and probably easier to not have the shortlisting/final pick system and just let you say "I agree with this" or "I disagree with this" and leave it at that

Dependant on location of course

Do your research - if you have native small cats and few large predators (ie Europe, North Africa) it's probably fine. If you don't (ie Australia, America) then it's definitely not

I don't think you understand how it works... An upload:download ratio must average (not simple mean, but that's because ratios are nonlinear - I can't recall the mean type but it's the nth root of multiplying them all together) 1 in a system where all uploads and downloads are logged in the same tracker. It doesn't matter who the uploader or downloader is or how recently they made their account. That's what I meant by a closed system.

An open system would be where you download parts or all of a given torrent via another tracker, and the same with upload. The private tracker only logs what you downloaded and uploaded though it, so your ratio from the perspective of that tracker is different to in reality.

Even if you ignore the first 5 files or 15GB or whatever for new users, if you have those files then great but do you really want to turn it into a betting game of seeding supply and leeching demand?

My parents 1741 house with new double glazing is like that - cool in summer, hot in winter without even needing the heating

I'm amazed that we collectively forgot how to build houses but I guess 2ft thick walls make a dent in the size of the living space and you've got to build a box with paper thin walls and no garden to optimise that

Meta exist to make a profit, however they're never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they're never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their content. Some here may rightfully have an issue with a corporation monetising their content, however by federating with the fediverse and being the first company able to monetise the content within it, Meta have a vested interest in not extinguishing the fediverse.

Complain about their privacy violations or them monetising content they don't generate as much as you want, but remember they're smart & money hungry, and the smartest thing they can do in their position is to make money out of people they otherwise wouldn't be able to.
