Basically some places (notably french presidential elections) have 2 round elections. Round one is a regular first past the post election, except the two candidates with the most votes go to the second round, where they are the only two legal candidates.
The idea is to reduce vote splitting. California uses that system, but they call it "open primaries".
To your point about significant platforms, there are other significant platforms (by fediverse standards) like pckt, so it is not as bad as it used to be, bsky is just so large it makes them all look small in comparison. As for standards because of the way lexicons work platforms using standard.site, for instance, have their own thing going on that bsky can't change.
No, nothing to do with phone lines, but it's also not quite a web automation thing either, well, I guess it is, but it also does more. It's meant to facilitate personal ownership of data and federation between instances of services, much like the fediverse (Hence why I put it here).
already did dude, there just isn't a good way to do it off of a lineage-os based custom rom, and there are no nothingOS themed customs roms in existence
I guess that explains why I never understood the hate, I have no trouble reading it, so it never bothered me, but I guess I can see how it would bother those that it does impede.
Not really, it's like building your own furniture, cool, but far from practical and not worth it for most people.
The only way it would help the cause is by decentralising a service that's mostly on one host, like bluesky, but that's not a problem on lemmy, and the main advantage can be done by switching to a more niche instance (lemmy.world -> lemdro.id / bsky.app -> eurosky)
Moi je dirais qu'il n'existe pas, mais les choses dont je n'ai pas le choix de faire sont aussi les choses dont je n'ai pas le choix de vouloir faire, donc ca revient au meme.
[The Director at Mozilla] says: "We are planning to move Firefox Desktop and Android from a 4-week release cadence to a 2-week release cadence starting in September 2026. ... This will be an experiment. The goal is to give work that is ready to ship more frequent opportunities to reach users, while making the release process more predictable and reducing pressure on uplifts. .... The current target is to release Firefox 155 on September 1, 2026, instead of September 15."
Seems like a decent idea, wouldn't be able to say if it's a real improvement though.
Javascript isn't java, to be clear, and I think I need to clarify how websites work because it's not obvious and I think
Basically early websites were just html, basically just a way of having documents and links to other documents. Very quickly they added css for styling and, later, javascript so that people could add more advanced functions in websites. Assuming you're using the mastodon web client, you wouldn't have been able to write your comment without javascript.
So the site sends html, css and javascript files to your computer, and your browser draws the page on your screen by following the instructions, then executes the javascript. This is a horrible way of doing things, because (1) web standards aren't standard, browsers can support any feature they want in any way they want, so websites can work fine on one browser and not on another, and google can add any feature to chrome that websites will support that mozilla is forced to also implement, otherwise those websites will be broken. And (2) running random code with no user input is a horribly insecure way of doing things.
Nobody can change this, because it's a every website is made for it and every browser is made for it. There are alternatives but you can't access anything meaningful from it.
This means that Mozilla has to constantly update the browser to fix vulnerabilities, because the way the web works in inherently insecure and nobody can do anything about it, and the standards it supports constantly change for reason out of their control. Every browser auto-updates for the same reason. Mozilla changes the UI and implement AI at the same time because they're scared normies will drop the browser and use something else (read: chrome) if they don't.
If you don't want a browser that skips all that and doesn't support running random code then you can use something like netsurf, but it won't run every website. Otherwise you can use a browser like librewolf that doesn't add antifeatures.
Not saying you should use firefox, just that I hope you can see why they do what they do.
As an amateur web dev I can say stuff like jpegXL which allows for smaller and higher quality images is cool, and regardless browsers let websites run arbitrary javascript code, so it's naturally insecure.

Heureusement que le prochain lundi est ferier, au moins au canada.
Just really bad amateurish propagandist arcade games
They literally can't, it's a closed general following an open general primary

Pixel 7a, haven't found any way to do it that wouldn't be super jank
Nothing's android skin is the best one IMO, and this only confirms it.
I wish I could practically use it on my degoogled phone...
What stops you is the javascript puzzle, I agree it's not worth it for the inconvenience but the idea is at least interesting

Although there are legitimate reasons for it not to be, I do want Quebec to be it's own country because of how unique the culture is.
I mean that's high but not unreasonable, especially with unified ram machines
Thank you! Moving to v1 sounds like a lot of work the way you described it

It's more similar to the current age restrictions on alcohol, although I do agree it'd be better to ban recommendation algorithms than an age gate.
