UK General Election results megathread
  • This year's general election, after all the votes counted, has a

    • Sainte-Laguë index of 48.36, and a
    • Gallagher index of 23.75.

    This makes the (dis)proportionality worse than HUNGARY's (my home) FPTP component (SLI = 36.96) – a component of the mixed system which allows our ruling party to get 2/3 supermajorities each time, every time, with sometimes less than 50% of the votes, and which ultimately transformed our country to an "electoral autocracy"

    You guys need electoral reform desperately. And do it before someone cheats with the current rules deliberately.

    (PS: I calculated the electoral indices using the python package voting)

    Switzerland vs Italy (Berlin, 18:00)
  • Jesus Christ almighty… This was on the same level as Portugal's shocker. Complete wipeout in the defence, midfield, and attack in every minute. ._.

    Czechia vs Türkiye (Hamburg, 21:00)
  • I'm pretty sure that Turkey and Portugal both drawing or winning would have been enough, but damn Portugal just didn't get it today. Oh well, at least I can hate on Southgate now.

    PS: Please ignore the first part of the comment, I didn't realise what I was replying to. But yes, Turkey losing by 3 or more points would have been it.

    I built the first 100% private, on-device "For You" feed on the fediverse
  • This is flipping amazing. UX beats big corps hands down, recommendations are greatly innovative. One little thing: can we have a back button? It's a bit clunky when I have to go to the top of my browser every time I go back from a post. Other than that, it looks great!

    USB tunneling
  • Here's the way: look at the little "crack" on the middle of the plug on one side (the vast vast vast majority have one) – that should be facing down. I haven't used a vertical plug in a while but I think it faces left there.

    For the forsaken anguish of God, microUSB, it's reversed, so crack up.

    Emergency First Aid
  • The poster's 2014. And yeah, Oz does seem to advise against abdominal thrusts (Heimlich), instead recommending chest thrusts. However, the US and European agencies recommend back slaps/coughing and then the Heimlich.

    Also yeah, breathing in CPR doesn't really show benefits that outweigh lost time, so probably just compress.

    Even more impressive because of it's unholy pronunciation, the Hungarian „longest” word: ’megszentségteleníthetetlenségeskedéseitekért’

    Orbán to Brussels: Time to shake up ‘bad’ EU leadership
  • Well first a new voting system would be required because Orbán, after winning in an unproportional system, decided to make the system even worse. So now, even if he only gets 45-54% of the vote, the same exact 68% supermajority is guaranteed.

  • Aber Newton war die der Beste: "14 (1 1/4) Grad: Die größte Hitze eines Bades, die man für etwas Zeit aushalten kann, wenn die Hände eintauchen wird und wird in konstanter Bewegung halten." Wissenschaftlich.

    English PS:

    I'm just learning German and though I checked with Google Translate and Duden Mentor, it might make no sense or whatever else.

  • I am in the opinion that some alternative UIs should be available on the instance (domain) – if possible, of course. Lemmy.world already has many alt. UIs, I think we should have something like that. So, here's a list:

    … and more, check out https://lemmy.world/post/465785

    What do you think?
