No, basically every riding has, say, three representatives, and there’s a threshold that each party needs to pass to get elected, here’s an explanation that’s better than what I could come up with:

Ends up very proportional while conserving local representatives, although personally I prefer MMP

term for software that support multiple people working on it at the same time, a la google docs or figma

Sounds good to me! I hope they support the open document formats better than onlyoffice currently does. Also euro-office isn’t a particularly good name, although it has the advantage of being explicit about where it’s based.

Where I live the grid is 100% renewables and we have an EV, problem solved IG

Nor does the fact that they went back on the AI kill switch and sent my information that should’ve been private to someone else’s computer a good thing.

when did they do that?

Yeah literally every time Quebec is brought up people say shit like that it’s insane

Firefox’s runs locally while google’s runs on their (much more powerful) servers, for something similar to chrome’s I’d just get the deepl extension, which does the same thing just better.

To be fair people liked the translation feature too

Bluesky is federated though. Like, you can selfhost every part of it and communicate with bsky users just fine: see wafrn and blacksky.

You can argue that it’s not decentralised because one instance has 99% of the users though

I probably won’t try it because I want to use a federated solution like matrix, but that’s super cool! You could probably make a post about it.

Misleading headline, it’s only one of multiple “addictive features” they’re considering banning to make social media less addictive.

You might want to point that out, maybe they didn’t realise tenor was shutting down.

That’s awesome! It’s a shame the first pr got closed because the maintainer prefers a worse provider lmao.

Yes, but that would take more space and take more time to write, and “this replaces a letter” is how a lot of diacritics have appeared. For example, the ñ replaced a “nn” in spanish. This would also remove some ambiguity in pronunciation on words like rathole and foothill.

Also, letter like that are written with dead keys, usually, so it would be more like one new character.

Again, not worth the effort of changing, but it would be an improvement.

If you look at the MSC’s only half of it is, and to convince people to switch I’d need a reasonable fast (Sliding sync) client with native voice chat (matrixRTC) that has a somewhat discord-like UI.

So basically I just have to wait for cinny to implement that.

The

most clients adopt it

was the important part of my comment

I agree, but right now the clients aren’t quite mature enough. Once matrix 2.0 is done and merged and most clients adopt it it should be good

Klipy is probably a better option, afaik their api is a dropin replacement and the gif search is much better.

Not directly related but I don’t know where else I’ll get the chance to bring this up:

I’ve always though that if the existence of “th” bothers you, adding a diacritic to consonants to indicate the sound change makes more sense than the þ.

For instance,

the = ţe she = şe che = çe

Obviously I wouldn’t argue for replacing ţose compounds wiţ ţose I’ve şown, since it wouldn’t be close to being worth çanging, but I do ţink it would still make more sense ţan bringing back ţe ţorn.

Imo all it needs is for 2.0 to come out and for discord-like clients like cinny to mature to get to a point where it’s a good discord replacement, and both of those seem pretty close to happening.

Agree, not a big fan of element’s interface either. Imo the point where matrix will be widely recommendable is when matrix 2.0 is done and widely adopted. Stuff like sliding sync is really important too
