Not OP, but I genuinely think ranked choice voting would have a positive impact.

(Not parent)

The second half differs dramatically in tone. If you were really into the specific feeling of the first half, it is very jarring.

I found the whole thing very interesting and enjoyable, but I can imagine being excited for more content similar to the first half and being disappointed by the drastic shift in scale/tone/focus/etc.

This is very foreign to my way of thinking.

I commission artists somewhat regularly, and if I had to name the top two reasons, they would be 1) I really like their style, and want a piece in that style 2) I want to support them so they can continue making the art I like.

Meeting my checklist of inclusions is important, but definitely secondary to the reasons above. (And sometimes the deviations are reflections of the artist's particular style and therefore welcome.)

I think you are saying something fundamentally different than the parent comment.

I think they are saying 'make something that appeals specifically to you as the creator, and it will resonate with some people out there'.

I personally agree that this seems top result in works I enjoy. (As evidenced by behind-the-scenes content or interviews with creators espousing a similar philosophy.)

Why are you quoting a phrase that does not exist in the post you are responding to?

Panoramax[0] is another, perhaps more open option, though it is currently primarily used in Europe.

The iOS client is available through testglight right now, and has this in a banner on the repo:

"This app is still in early stages, and not yet ready for production."

Just for others who are evaluating it as an option.

Anecdotally, myself and several others can no longer connect to Flatpak, and downdetector shows an increasing report count.

In both cases you pay for the energy used, it's just that there are many more steps to get that energy to your watch!

I went on a ferry ride with a friend who is a welder by trade and they spent a full hour examining the railings and critiquing the welding. It was pretty interesting.

What are you using as your temperature sensors, if you don't mind?

Unfortunately they did close that loophole recently. :(

I imagine the curators did this to entertain themselves. I thought it was a great juxtaposition when I visited.

The wobble actually factors onto my device choice as well. It's just annoying to live with for the life of the phone if you can't find a case that widens it, which many don't.

To be fair, in the case of Steam they legitimately did try. They supported bitcoin purchases for nearly two years before they stopped, citing volatility and processing fees:

At the cost of increased input latency and (frequently) graphical artifacts around any moving object.

It is a very cool tool, but not a silver bullet, just for context.

I think the trouble here stems from the lack of alternatives to the small group of payment processors. The near-monopoly allows their choices to override the choice of all the other involved groups, and almost no viable alternatives exist for Valve to move to if they disagree.

There is a tradition of placing small tokens or flowers on his palm! At one point the owner had a tumblr where they posted pictures of the offerings it received occasionally.

For those concerned about contributing to Mapillary specifically, there are alternatives to contribute to, like Panoramax, which is fully open source and supports federated instances, and is not owned by Meta.

(Panoramax integrates with iD and JOSM just Lille Mapillary.)

This seems like quintessential whataboutism. I think expanding on how that concern is "largely invented" would serve your point better. I, at least, would be interested.

You may also have trouble applying the Aspirin to only one location.

Regarding [1], do you foresee this changing at some point? I'm interested in self hosting, bit have heard consistently that it is painful, so I've been waiting in the hopes that it will eventually improve.

As far as I can tell, this is exclusively for the X1C. There is not yet an equivalent for the P1S, correct?

But they can [organically] suggest a great replacement to purchase!

I think the Nextcloud offering is called "Nextcloud Talk", for anyone wanting to check that out.

Thank you for the context!

I also was a little confused by the goal, but that clears it up.

Parent may be imagining a carpeted apartment, which would make cleanup more difficult.

When I was in such a location I used silicone project mats with raised edges fastidiously to avoid ever dripping on the carpet.

I would love for RocketChat to support UnifiedPush. It seems like such good fit.

I think the person you are responding to was poking fun at the way the title is structure, which could be interpreted to indicate that Cory himself bricked the vehicles.
