I’m not super familiar with those, so I haven’t.

Though I know I definitely don’t want to go for a cloud fare tunnel, as that’s very similar to what I’m trying to get rid of. I have like 3 game servers running through playit, which is essentially the same thing.

It was posted here a while back. But yeah I should have linked to it in the main post.

Whenever I set something up I usually make a markdown file listing the commands and steps to take. I do this as I am setting things up and familiarizing myself, so once I’m done, I have a start to finish guide.

Raw text/markdown files will be readable until the end of time.

I see its been a whole 15 minutes since somebody gave them attention on the world stage

I’m disappointed by the lack of nudity in these pictures.

Bananas? Raspberries?

Very cool, and definitely worth switching too where it makes sense.

But there is no mention of cost, so it probably won’t be cost competitive with regular wind for a while, which sucks.

But the silver lining is that this is among the first of this type of power generation, and it will only get better and more efficient as the tech is built upon.

I know. But I still hope.

I hope it goes better for them this time.

Love to see it

Billionaires are inherently evil.

Can’t sell my data if I’ve never given them any

Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.

Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don’t need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn’t apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.

This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy

You don’t need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.

Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?

Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.

Because it’s federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.

It is open source. But from what I can tell the accounts are largely still hosted centrally, and it isnt federated in any way, which isn’t great. Anybody can host an instance or server.

So ultimately it looks like a massive step up from Discord, with some small issues here and there.

Same. I just hope my friend group and by some extension the gaming community chooses something that won’t fall into the same pitfal of closed source for profit organizations.

I hope the transition is towards matrix, or something like it.

Congrats, we have a glorified FPTP and spoiler effect yet again!

Not quite. As you’ve just observed, this kind of strategic voting is risky, and self destructive. Which means that many would recognize this, and not use this voting strategy. Its a game of chicken, and lots of people prefer not to play such a game and instead support the safe bet, which means supporting those you genuinely support.

And as !ammonium@lemmy.world pointed out, it isn’t possible to have a perfect voting system.

Then there is the fact that there is more to this than just voting strategies. There are the other effects to keep in mind. For example approval is far simpler to explain than RCV, especially when you explain how the counting works.

Another example is that approval is purely an additive process for counting, RCV is not. That means auditing results is significantly easier and quicker under approval than RCV. That leads to higher voter confidence in results than RCV audits.

Now, other election systems could also have strategic voting, but its less likely with, for example, RCV, since you can rank candidates.

RCV still can experience the spoiler effect just as FPTP, because it is in effect FPTP taking place over some number of instant rounds.

Approval and STAR are better anyway. Not that they wouldn’t find a piss poor excuse to ban those as well.

Sure, it can’t count how many Rs are in strawberry, but it definitely for sure can predict future affairs in bean stew ingredients. /s

A potential strategy for using it for good would be dealing with the problem of comparitive effort to spread and debunk bullshit. It takes very little effort to spread bullshit. It takes a lot of effort to debunk it.

An LLM doesn’t need to worry about effort. It can happily chug away debunking bullshit all day long, at least, if you ignore the problem of them not being able to reason, and the other ongoing problems with LLMs. But there is potential for it being a part of the solution here.
