Honestly at this point there is no sense in continuing this conversation because you just willfully misunderstand what is being said.
I'm sorry, you seemed willing to explain and I genuinely do not understand why my concerns aren't valid (though you have certainly done your best to try to explain it so thank you for that). I suspect I may just not really get it, but the approval voting wikipedia page just assumes it's only used for picking a top candidate so doesn't help at all. I even tried getting chatGPT to explain it to me but it told me:
Seat allocation in parliamentary systems is usually determined by a variety of methods, including party-list proportional representation, mixed-member proportional representation, or single-member districts. These systems take into account the overall share of votes a party receives and aim to allocate seats in a way that reflects the proportionality of the vote.
Approval voting, on the other hand, does not directly account for the proportionality of votes. It focuses on identifying the candidate with the most approvals without considering the order of preferences or the relative strength of support for different parties. As a result, using approval voting for seat allocation in a Parliament may not adequately reflect the diversity of voter preferences or the proportionality of votes received by different parties.
I apologise if you got the impression I was faking stupidity, I assure you it's genuine.
This release has 46 contributors! Compared to the 17.4 release that had 3, or the 17.3 release that had 4. It's such a massive release, and with so many new users it has attracted many new devs!
The steps to reproduce don't seem to have been tested but the current theory is that if a user is federated to a server that has an admin with the same name, and then that user is banned, then it may cause the admin to be un-admined I guess due to an update that doesn't correctly distinguish the local and remote users.
Honestly, it's annoying but may not be a showstopper for upgrading to 0.18
You can fix it by changing the flag in the database, and it's not giving the admin permissions to another user which would be a big security problem.
There was a technical reason. This version removes websockets, which has performance improvements and solves a lot of outstanding issues.
Unfortunately the current captcha relies on websockets. The option is actually still there, it just causes an error on the registration page, stops registration from showing, and still doesn’t actually show a captcha.
Long story short, it’s just broken rather than deliberately removed (though originally they planned on dropping it which is why no effort went into solving the issues.
Yeah, definitely. But the lack of capcha and the fact there's a bug where a remote user can cause an admin account to be un-admined (locking admins out of those settings), well I'm definitely considering waiting for 0.18.1
I did not know that! Thanks for letting me know. I will make upgrading a priority, though we will probably need to turn on registration applications as the cloudflare bot detection doesn't seem to be working
That’s… an interesting contract. What happens if a government starts investing heavily in rehabilitation programmes and produces good results that you just can’t compete with not because you’re not doing well but because the other government prisons are doing well?
But yes, my concern about things like increasing prison sentence lengths is that there is lobbying happening. It reminds me of the time Act (I think) said that if they had to make their donor names public, they would lose 80% of their donations. Is that because it’s donations from companies running prisons and other conflicts of interest?
One day, maybe. But that day will probably be when Lemmy as a platform can handle it a bit nicer.
Ultimately we have less than 100 users who have been active in the last week (admittedly not counting users from other instances). There is no way that having more communities is good for the instance. We just don't have the population to support it.
There are many instances that do let users create communities. So there are already several !technology communities, even several !newzealand communities (though ours is the most active). If you don't like the !technology communities on one instance, there are already plenty to choose from.
P.S. there are at least 3 NZ instances, this one, no.lastname.nz, and feddit.nz
Yes, it does seem to require a hard refresh. Shift+refresh seems to do it on a PC. On a phone it might be trickier, but I had success holding down the refresh button on Firefox for Android.
It does go green when you tick it though. I had assumed this was an intended change. You can mark it as read, and it doesn’t disappear straight away so you can undo it if you accidentally clicked that button.
Sorry, I meant after this change. As I understand it, you can just write in the contract they are a contractor and now they are and they can't challenge it. No sick leave, no annual leave, you want a job? Take it or leave it.
I honestly find it hit and miss. You catch up with a friend from 10 years ago, sometimes it’s like old times but other times you realise how much 10 years changes you.
Ah no, so much drama this morning I forgot to make the thread! Thanks for making it!
Today I woke up to 8,000 new bot accounts (which are now disabled, but I’m still working on removing completely).
Then I tried to do the 0.18.0 update and it didn’t work and the site broke so I then had a frantic 30 mins or so trying to work out what was wrong and get it up and running again.
Then I loaded the kids in the car, disappeared out the door and didn’t come home until the late afternoon. But for the most part it sounds like the updated site is working ok.
I happened to open Lemmy for the first time this weekend while the server was down. I got a bit worried before I headed over to the chat and saw you were onto it.
Not just onto it, I caused it!
It seems like keeping bots away is going to be one of the big struggles for Lemmy. At least for the time being. Though to be fair, it seems like a problem for all social media. At least Lemmy isn’t profiting off the controversy stirred up by a lot of them.
Lemmy/Fediverse has one disadvantage here. Facebook can control their bots by putting account creation controls in place. But spammers in Lemmy can spin up their own instance and then create loads of accounts, and start commenting on other instances. Then when enough instances block them, spin up a new one.
We can’t stop that from happening, and if we block new instances until they prove they aren’t spammers then that’s a huge blocker for the uptake of the Fediverse. I’ve seen other (not large) instances looking at trust calculations, but this is still a barrier to people being able to start a new instance. I don’t have any solutions but I hope we find one.
I have recently acquired a patio heater with a 9Kg gas bottle. Does anyone know if it will be affected by any future government bans? I don't want to buy another gas bottle if the government will ban them in two years. Or are these gas bottles not effected?
I’ve created a bot on a stopdrinking community at lemmy.world, and due to a bug it posted the wrong day in the title. I’ve manually updated it by logging in as the bot on lemmy.world, which works fine, but when visiting the post on lemmy.nz it still shows the old title....
We've got an insulated house, heat it properly, ventilate it, but still see humidity levels of 70%+ in bed rooms. How to fix that?
