I know! Will definitely try again at the next release. So far I'm running a minimal install of Arch without DE (only running Sway) and it works pretty well, but I'm not a fan of the bleeding edge release schedule. Wouls prefer something more stable, especially for that laptop which I don't plan on using as my daily driver

I tried to get it running on a 2 GiB RAM laptop I've got, but couldn't get wifi to work at all

These are different ways to fill the same ballot! In score voting you give every party a score (in this case from 0 to 99). This was the example of a die-hard Democrat. A more moderate voter might vote something like Dems 50, GOP 60, or Dems 30, GOP 25

First time around Dems would probably vote Dems 99, GOP 0 and leave every other party blank, but over time people would realise that you can ALSO score your actual favourite (think of all the people that would vote Green if it wasn't a wasted vote) a 99 without hurting the "lesser evil's" chances. Greens 99, Dems 99 and GOP 0 is just as bad for the GOP as Greens blank, Dems 99 and GOP 0. That's the magic of score voting. And people who are really apathetic and refuse to vote because they think all parties are bad could still express an opinion akin to Dems 10, GOP 0, rest empty.

Ranked choice voting probably leads to two-party domination (see Australia or Malta), and even without that caveat it's otherwise suboptimal. Score voting is the way to ensure voting for your favourite comes with no strategic tradeoffs.

Score voting is the real way. Superior to every other method by pretty much every sensible metric

Anyone here know of a good open-source and/or federated platform for music and podcasts? I heard of Funkwhale, but is it usable?

How is Bazzite different to vanilla Fedora?

[–] glaber@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I've seen it in most European countries

G doesn't make sense either unless you know it means "ground". It goes both ways

The former Soviet Union, China, Korea and Japan are big exceptions to this though
