This data is already public. You can just create a kbin account and see who's voting. Anyone wanting to scrape it already can, the only difference proposed is the Lemmy client showing it.

One liners are a pretty dull metric of comedy, but these ones did make me chuckle

  1. I sailed through my driving test. That’s why I failed it. - Arthur Smith
  1. I’m an extremely emotionally needy non-binary person: my pronouns are ‘there there’. - Sarah Keyworth

What are the benefits of a password greater than 72 characters? How high do you try to go?

This is neat. If you do look at beziers you'll run into some difficulty with offsetting them / creating parallel curves.

But you can find a solution for that with this crate: https://crates.io/crates/kurbo

And a nifty article on the topic: https://raphlinus.github.io/curves/2022/09/09/parallel-beziers.html

Just as a counter: I live in a very rural part of the country, pretty sparsely populated and yet I get 1Gbps fibre. There's a new company rolling out in the area promising 10Gbps, it's kind of insane. So these programs do work.

It's going to take much longer than a five year term to fix the NHS. Liklihood is they'll inject some life into it just in time for the tories to sell it off next government

The ability to prioritise and pin results from different sites is what won me over. Pinning stackoverflow helps filter a lot of junk when resolving programing issues, and when working with geometry I've pinned or prioritised a few different resources that better explain the mathematics

Kagi is pretty decent. It's worth supporting else the space will continue to be dominated by advertising monopolies.

Why not just give it away for free? It always seems odd to me that games just disappear rather than being allowed an elegant death of old age.

Is that your experience with the OS or cosmic?

Honestly, it's not as important. These projects are working with very limited resources, typically dependent on free labour. Accessibility is incredibly hard to get right and half arsing it isn't going to work. The priority should be pushing out a reliable, working prototype that people want to use. Once that's accomplished you can refocus on expanding the features.

Demand for reliable multi monitor support is going to be far higher than screen reading capabilities.
