Data has to federate, so nothing is going to really be private like you mention. I think it's unreasonable to expect anything otherwise. I don't see a point to hiding votes because of this. If someone starts stalking or harassing their voters for some reason, have a reporting system and handle that.

    They should make it fully illegal, require non-partisan committees to oversee districts, and redistrict everything based upon that. I think the that needs to be done at the state level in every state, so it does nothing for states like Ohio that are a clusterfuck.

    We should also axe the electoral college, move to proportional representation, STAR (or similar) voting, expand the house, and abolish the senate, IMO.

    Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan, sadly. I much prefer thick, yeasty crust. Ideally, I'd like to do something like a Detroit-style or even a grandma pie sort of thing. I can probably get there with some combination of rice flour, xanthum gum, and some other stuff, but it's such a pain compared to flour, water, yeast, salt, and sugar.

    I really need to find a way to make gluten-free dough that doesn't suck and doesn't take a ton of effort. Gluten-free flour is not a thing where I live and is prohibitively expensive to import.

    As someone who moved to a place where everything practical is metric it's much easier. We do have a combination of traditional units for a couple of minor things (room/property size, alcohol size) but they're almost always posted side-by-side with metric. We do get screens and some tires in inches, but those also always have metric with them. Most Japanese probably also don't realize that the unit is inches because it's basically a "60-type TV" not a "60-inch TV".

    Shining force games are great, but I'd argue better on an emulator to speed things up a bit. If you get stuck anywhere due to being under-leveled, just start a battle and egress before the end to repeat it.

    I mostly otherwise played sonic and the like. I could never get my hands on phantasy star for some reason, so never really got into it, though it seems to be right up my alley.

    So Japan gets a few things right, IMO, about time. We don't do daylight saving. Places that stay open past midnight will list hours like '20:00 ~ 26:00' to indicate closing at 2am which I feel pretty neutral about. We're in the wrong timezone in my opinion and at least eastern Japan should move to UTC+10 or even UTC+11 so it's not getting light at 3-something in the morning in summer.

    However, the thing that drives me nuts is watching TV and it suddenly going to 0:00 at noon. Why?! This is doubly true for those who go 11 -> 0 -> 13 instead of 11 -> 0 -> 1. It's completely irrelevant to anything in my life, so definitely just mildly infuriating to me. Maybe people with shiftwork schedules and blackout curtains might have some confusion.

    Japanese broadcasting and newspapers usually use a modified 12-hour notation in which midnight is 午前0時 (0 am) and noon is 午後0時 (0 pm) [. . .]

    Some (or maybe all?) of the time, posts I've previously voted on seem to show now visual indicator. When I click again, the number changes in the opposite direction as expected meaning I undid some previous vote. I'm just using this in firefox on PC. Is anyone else seeing this? I can definitely see the style directly after I vote but before I refresh the page. Thanks!

    Edit: of course refreshing this post I can't reproduce it. Not sure if it's because it's my post or if there is some time lag or if it's only other instances or something.

     

    On lemmy.world, this is a link to a post and works. Piefed tries to make it a video link which does not.

    (unrelated, but to try to find this community, I clicked the magnifying-glass-looking thing to search and it just yelled at me that I couldn't search for a community in the wrong format. If I don't know where a community lives or its exact name, how is that even useful?)

     

    I assume I'm blind, but I moved over from mbin where I could just go to a magazine (community) and click a block button. My browsing strategy is to browse all and not use subscriptions to mostly not limit what I see. However, I don't want to see certain types of porn (for instance).

    Thanks!
