That's my question too, do they not have a secret ballot in the US? If they do (and I'm pretty sure they do) my advice to OP is to deny who they voted for until they can get to safety, "was just joking about voting Harris" is a perfectly reasonable lie if your safety is threatened, the family would have no proof or way of finding out.

People should respect the intent of top level domains. e.g. videos at youtu.be should be related to Belgium, and podcasts with a .fm domain should only be podcasts related to the Federated States of Micronesia. Users at lemm.ee should be from Estonia.

Reddit would surely have to ban users from creating new subreddits for certain (previously allowed) topics, or else users would just create an alternative "free" subreddit and everyone would post there, right? This can't work like something like YouTube Premium originals or else they're going to have to pay certain popular people to post to the paywalled subs - but nobody uses Reddit to follow individuals.

This is one of the weirder surveys I've ever taken, I hope they know what they're doing.

All the time. For websites that are no longer online, it's invaluable, what's the alternative?

Things which happened get forgotten because they're deleted. If something like Internet Archive exists that's no longer a problem.

It hasn't had a meaningful update in ~10 years, and the problem is it still has the brand recognition which keeps potential users away from LibreOffice. It's an embarrassment to Apache if you ask me.

Lemmy users be like „I fucking love decentralized freedom“, until someone joins they don’t like.

No, especially when someone joins that we don't like. The ability to defederate is the freedom that comes with decentralisation. If there were no bad actors decentralisation wouldn't be so important.

Fish consumption, of course, being a famous cause of obesity?

Edit: Look, I'm making fun of the guy, I'm British, you don't need to all take it upon yourselves to explain fish and chips to me.

I'm really surprised by this, as someone in the "never" category I honestly didn't realise there were men who sat down (obviously aside from physical disabilities), or that it would be a cultural thing. I've never thought about it.

In fact sometimes if I go for a "number two", I will take it in two parts, pee standing up then sit down for the second part, or vice-versa. It's just more comfortable like that.

Can you not just post what the use-case is and the list? I'm not going to watch an unsolicited 20 minute video.

An Essex girl is involved in a car crash and is trapped and bleeding. The paramedics soon arrive on the scene.

Medic: "I'm a paramedic and I'm going to ask you some questions. OK?"

Girl: "OK"

Medic: "what's your name?"

Girl: "Sharon"

Medic: "OK Sharon, is this your car?"

Sharon: "yes"

Medic: "where are you bleeding from?"

Sharon: "Romford, mate."

(I was born in Essex so I think I'm allowed to tell these :p)

Glad I bought AMD

Looking for some purchasing advice.

At the moment I use a Typematrix non-mechanical keyboard which is starting to wear out and become unresponsive. I was really happy with it apart from wishing it was mechanical. A mechanical clone of that, maybe a bit wider, is really my dream.

So what are my options? The mechanical ortholinear keyboards I've seen tend to be of the compact and minimalistic variety, but size isn't my priority I'm looking for something full-featured, preferably with some media keys and shortcut buttons. A number pad or some way to input numbers with a calculator-style layout is essential as my job involves numerical data entry.

Other "nice to have" things I'm more willing to compromise on:

  • I type in Dvorak so blank keys or Dvorak labels would be preferable

  • Hard-wired Dvorak switch is nice to have, the Typematrix has it, handy if I want to switch layouts in software to access special characters without worrying about finding a Dvorak-based layout.

  • Ideally no assembly required

  • I'm in the UK, I'll import if necessary but local availability is better. On that note the 105-key layout is preferred (but not that the Typematrix has that either)

Open to alternative suggestions that ignore any of the above.
