the problem is that any metric to exclude voters will be manipulated by politicians to exclude demographics. unless you can come up with a simpler concept than “every citizen over 18 can vote” people will move the goal posts: eg, if you require education, do private schools count? what happens if your school loses accreditation after you graduate? what if you’re home schooled? what if your parents didn’t let you goto school?

yeah, no, im with you on that point where frontend developers don’t care. but why did that framework catch on in the first place? we used to use php where the server would grab all the data relevant to your account and convert it into one html page. but now it seems the user’s laptop is tasked with pulling each element of their own website. maybe it’s easier to scale? like you can have the user’s data split across different servers and not require any communication between servers on the backend?

User is not in the pleaser file. This incident will be reported.
it’s frustrating because webpages were really functional without this problem a decade ago. i don’t know why links jump around today. is it because it’s cheaper to let the client figure out what content they need instead of using server-side computation?

2·10 days agoyeah thinking of some of the ppl ive met on the internet, id rather be talking to a bot lol… jkjk
but i think finding out after the fact that i was interacting with a bot somehow seems soulless… like, something i like about the internet is the (small) feeling of still being connected to the world. and that’d be lost if i knew i was interacting with a bot. i imagine there’s people who feel differently, but i think that’s nuts. if im interacting with a bot, i want to know it.
also like, in responding to you, i hope to further some intelligent discussion and positively affect the world. if you’re a bot, then that’s hopeless. or maybe im just affecting the ai model positively, idk.
have you met an engineer who doesnt copy code from stackexchange? I’m not saying they blindly paste it in and forget about it, but copying a line or two that you (now) understand is fine.
i did this a month ago, ate a pear and was like wow i havent eaten a pear in decades… just strange that you just dont come across pears that often.
i always do “read;rm ./file” which gives me a second to confirm and also makes it so i don’t accidentally execute it out of my bash history with control-r
have you needed to use microG for any apps? is it a sufficient replacement for google play?

2·14 days agohow do you know it’s not bots?
just for the number of participants. and there’s a construction (a pseudorandom generator) thatll let you do it with one block
that could be it… I’ve just thought about it a lot and came up with a new theory.
it seems to me that the limitations of screen real estate seem surmountable. eg: a settings menu could have a search bar like in android, meaning your options can be accessible even though they’re buried in the gui. then, your settings could be “stable” and repeatable by adding flags like in google chrome (another gui program).
you can actually use chrome from a cli with selenium or the headless command (–headless) and I’ve used this to scrape websites locked behind Javascript. but average chrome users don’t demand the further development of these features.
