Dunno yet, that’s something Rooki and the other user will have to sort out, but I’m all for improvements!

Oh, it got removed too when I saw the report.

My city was considering getting it, but I live less than a mile from a gun range and from Thur. to Sun. in our neighborhood all you hear is gunfire.

So I asked the city, how does Shotspotter tell the difference between gunfire that’s expected (gun range) from gunfire that’s NOT expected (crime)?

It doesn’t. My city declined to buy it. ;)

Only 4/10?

We can probably punp that up if people realize they stop sending mailers to people who already voted.

I thought we all pretty much recognized that was the case when it happened…

I can’t really speak to games, but in other industries it’s been pretty much proven that piracy increases sales:

Nope, or to the other mod who removed it.

That’s not the way it works. When you show up to vote, you aren’t validated by the machine, you’re validated by the poll worker before you even get to the machine.

All the machine does is collect the votes, then the votes are sent to a tabulation facility physically by removing the storage from the machine and manually carrying it to tabulation. There is no electronic connection or transfer of votes.

This is the same way voting was done non-electronically. Poll worker checks you in, gives you access to the voting machine, you punch your card, put the card in a slot. All the cards are collected and sent off for counting.

The tabulation is done electronically, on machines with no internet connection.

Voting electronically involves opening a machine to the public internet and that way lies madness.

I feel your pain. Some readers, like mine (Boost) don’t handle the spoiler tag markup correctly and it ends up bigger than designed.

The Admins removed it there.

That actually is partially listed on the MBFC site, but you have to follow the link through from the bot to see it:

"Funded by / Ownership

The Guardian and its sister publication, the Sunday newspaper The Observer, are owned by Guardian Media Group plc (GMG). Scott Trust Limited was created in 1936 to ensure the editorial independence of the publications and owns Guardian Media Group plc (GMG). The Guardian states that “The Scott Trust is the sole shareholder in Guardian Media Group, and its profits are reinvested in journalism and do not benefit a proprietor or shareholders.” Donations and advertising fund the Guardian.

The Guardian switched to a tabloid print format in 2018 to cut costs. According to The New York Times, The Guardian “refused to set up a paywall — the preferred strategy of many of its rivals, from The Times of London to The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times — opting instead to ask its readers for donations, even setting up a nonprofit arm to help fund its journalism.”"

Harris isn’t the threat to the American system of government that Trump is.

When the question is “how do we improve it?” the answer “get rid of it” is not a genuine suggestion.

The GOOD news is, we DO have a genuinely good suggestion here and the bot creator will be reaching out.

Because the winner of the US election is going to have a massive impact on the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.

The #1 and #2 topics in World.

You and me both! They did have a point when the bot had a donation nag on it, the bot creator heard that complaint and removed it.

No, I’m saying them being renters is at the same level as all the other problems. They face a lot of shit because of their poor economic status, and that causes them stress, but one of the things they face is their economic status forces them to rent.

Renting doesn’t cause the stress, it’s caused by the same thing that causes them stress. The root cause is lower socio economic status. Everything flows from that.

The Admins run lemmy.world, we serve at their pleasure.

Sure, I could ban it, then likely get removed and have the bot re-instated, and what good would that do anyone?

Nope. Harris doesn’t enter into it. There are two sides, Pro Trump and Anti Trump.

If you want Anti Trump to win, you have to pull behind one candidate. Splitting it 5 ways guarantees Anti Trump cannot win.

There is only one candidate who happens to be at the same level as Trump, the Democratic candidate.

Which means holding your nose and voting for Harris, failing to do so gets you Trump. You don’t have to be Pro Harris at all, you just have to hate Trump more.
