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)

Jesus Christ almighty… This was on the same level as Portugal's shocker. Complete wipeout in the defence, midfield, and attack in every minute. ._.

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.

Hungary going through depends on the Czechs not winning. So uhhhhhhh.... please don't win, Czechia!

The country, meanwhile, is the uncanniest Mr. incredible, but instead of black and white, it's orange and white (We love Fidesz)

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!

A web app is just a fancy name for a dynamic web page. Change my mind.

 

Ferris Wheel Press – the Carousel in Fine (0,7, which should coubt as a medium), with J Herbin scented Bleu plénitude ink.

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.

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.

 

First fountain pen of my life. Parker Vector with "Medium" nib. I've already had it for two weeks, and although this was only meant to try out fountain pens, I think I'll keep it, since the nib is a great compromise between being smooth while not being fussy with office paper. Already chewed through a cartridge. Only bad thing with the pen is that the grip is a little meh – my fingers don't really like it.

My next will probably be a Lamy (mostly Safari). Any recommendations for the nib size so it fits my criteria?

 

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:
