looks great! love the pixel font. I should switch from dwm to dwl someday

this change was made by the Tory government, btw.

here's the main part of the article copy-pasted (with important parts in bold):

Today, Minister for the Constitution and Devolution Chloe Smith has announced measures to apply the tried and tested system of First Past the Post to the election of council and ‘metro’ mayors across England, and to Police and Crime Commissioners across England and Wales.

In this May’s London Mayoral elections, the Supplementary Vote system saw hundreds of thousands void, wasted or blank votes cast, reflecting voter confusion and the complex system. Supplementary Vote also means that a ‘loser’ candidate can win on second preferences. In 1931, Winston Churchill described transferable voting as “the decision is to be determined by the most worthless votes given for the most worthless candidates.”

First Past the Post is the world’s most widely used electoral system. The change to First Past the Post will further strengthen the accountability of elected mayors and PCCs to their electorate, making it easier for voters to express a clear choice. The person chosen to represent a local area should be the one who directly receives the most votes.

Chloe Smith, Minister for the Constitution, said:

Britain’s long-standing national electoral system of First Past the Post ensures clearer accountability, and allows voters to kick out the politicians who don’t deliver. First Past the Post is fair and simple – the person with the most votes wins.

Kit Malthouse, Minister for Policing, said:

We are strengthening the accountability and role of Police and Crime Commissioners, to help cut crime and deliver on the people’s priorities.

Luke Hall, Minister for Local Government, said:

Elected mayors can provide strong leadership, and must be held to account at the ballot box. The supplementary vote is an anomaly which confuses the public and is out of step with other elections in England, both local and national. Moving to First Past the Post will make it easier for voters to express a clear choice.

Falling Lightblocks is a brilliant open-source Tetris clone for Android, with different gamemodes, multiplayer, leaderboards and a "campaign" mode. definitely worth your time

oh wow another colemak-dh user

but I'd avoid converting until you're able to touch-type. then you can show off to everyone w/ your weird-looking keyboard layout lol

android only, but this app is great for time tracking. it does everything you list and much more, like individual activities that can be categorised, tags for activities, setting time goals, statistics to show time spent and streaks and so much more.

not sponsored but it really is worth a look

edit: also GPLv3 licensed

oh another restic user

yeah restic is a very good choice

it even works with incremental backups so you don't waste as much space as other solutions

this app is amazing

I think dwm can be compiled (and is very minimal so quick to compile) with different minimum widths and heights.

there's also dwl, which is supposed to be dwm but native Wayland rather than X, but I haven't tried it out

ah, I see. thanks

doesn't it allow compilation and non-commercial distribution? I don't agree with the license (not free or open source), but I'm genuinely curious on what specifically doesn't allow source code modification.

these simple type of ads used in the early internet was exactly the idea I was going for, having little involved to breach privacy or be used as an attack vector. more individual user ads was also what I was imagining, and looking at them, they are quite funny too

I'll just copy a previous reply:

the ads would ideally be limited to banners and gifs in the same style as these, with each user choosing whose ads they wish to host

no revenue or popularity (these are only for personal websites) would (hopefully) prevent users from hosting invasive ads. quite a few personal websites have banners linking to others, so this would be a more simpler approach

(although in principle, a whole project dedicated to automate this doesn’t sound good)>
