  • PowerToys - originally this was an internal set of utilities that MS engineers made and decided to publish, lots of useful stuff
  • AgentRansack - For searching the content of files
  • Everything - For searching for file names
  • PUTTY - to connect to a more civilized OS (SSH client)
  • Obsidian - one note but better and offline.
  • Notepad++ - notepad but not shit
  • HWInfo64 - detailed system infomation and sensor info
  • WizTree - file usage analyzer, much better than the popular WinDirStat

Something that isn’t Windows or MacOS. The BSDs for example 😉

That’s an example, but you mentioned it yourself. The BSDs aren’t Linux.

Process Explorer is still great.

System Informer is a nice, more modern take on Process Explorer. My favorite feature is the filter which supports RegEx and searches the process name, command args, path, etc. Really nice for monitoring a few important processes.

@stinerman@midwest.social avatar

This will help you a bit to answer your own question: www.270towin.comYou can play with scenarios there.

how much does she have to win by to flip the electoral college to her side?

This misunderstands how our elections work. If you win a state by one vote (offer not valid in Nebraska and Maine), you get all that state’s electoral votes. If you flip several thousand votes in a few states, Trump wins the 2020 election even though Biden had around 7,000,000 more in the popular vote total. Also, if you’re from the UK, Americans are a little idiosyncratic in their voting. A good deal of people do the equivalent of voting for a Tory even if they wanted Labour in power. It’s called vote splitting, and it’s generally a terrible idea.

I believe this is the last election where Maine will have split electoral votes, since they joined the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact earlier this year.

National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

That doesn’t do anything until it has enough states that it actually guarantees the person that wins the popular vote, wins.

I’m going to pile on to your good answer.

Since you only need 51% to win all of a state’s electoral votes, any additional votes beyond 51% could be considered excess votes that are not helpful. The system rewards candidates whose supporters are spread around, and punishes candidates whose supporters are heavily concentrated in a handful of states.

For example, in 2016 Hilary Clinton got 4,269,978 more votes in California than Trump. That’s 4,269,977 more than she needed to win the state. Meanwhile, she lost Michigan by 10,704 votes, lost Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes, lost Florida by 112,912, etc. Hell, she lost Texas by less than a million votes. If Hilary’s supporters in California had been spread around in other states she would have won the national election easily.

This is part of why I haven’t left Ohio, have beat back on the argument that “I should just move [to somewhere that’s more politically aligned with my beliefs]” (which I’ve heard that line enough, I fully believe it’s a GOP driven talking point), and I’ve encouraged other left-leaning folks to stay or come back.

TriPolarBearz , to asklemmy in Do flat earthers think other planets are flat? All of them or some of them? Are stars (including and excluding the sun) flat too?

I can never tell what they really believe. But I once saw a picture about flat earthers.

It basically said other planets are round because they have been observed to be round. But Earth is flat because it has not been observed to be round.

Though if they did see Earth from afar, I’m sure there would be some excuse as to why it’s fake.

Nommer ,

To them photographs are all made with fisheye lenses which is why only the earth looks round and distorted but fucking nothing else in the same frame.

magnetosphere , to asklemmy in How do you feel about shopping in stores?
@magnetosphere@fedia.io avatar

The sneakers thing you mentioned was interesting. When I needed a new pair, I deliberately went to a local store because of the service. Did I know I would end up paying a bit more? Yes. Was it worth it because of the better service I got, and the knowledge that I was supporting a local business? Also yes!

Large retailers are going to have to adapt or die.

less politics. ive blocked like 10 political communities yet still see it all over how can people talk about this shit all day

also need more niche communities idk how to create communities on jerboa😬

lidd1ejimmy ,

me neither i don’t think you can

cows_are_underrated ,

If you want to create a community you need to use the web Interface of your instance. In the top bar is a button called “create community”. Creating it from Jerboa directly is not possible.

Triasha , to workreform in Your opinion on HSE

To the extent that talking about something can help, it can be helpful. It brings it to the top of mind so maybe individuals err on the side of safety when they otherwise wouldn’t. Or it reminds workers of policies already in place.

To the extent it conflicts with the bottom line, it’s a waste of time. Unless the company is willing to legit sacrifice profits for the benefits of HSE, it’s just a nothing bullshit paper you have to sign.

Lost_My_Mind , to nostupidquestions in Is there a way where we can sign up to differnt instances and put them on one site or whatever so we can have more nich communities?

You can subscribe to communities on other instances. I’m confused what your asking.

solrize , (edited )

Lemmy.world has defederated a bunch of instances. (Edit: fixed autocorrupt error).

…defeated?

You know… the other instances no longer have feat.

OP is trying to combine small niche communities into one combined slightly less small community

Lost_My_Mind ,

Oh, yeah. I’ve been saying since I got here thats a good idea to impliment on a personal user basis. So that YOU see communities you combine into one bigger community, and anything you post could be posted on both (or more) at once.

Oh cool.
Thank you.

We have a godaddy certificate on our vSphere server; so that’s why it is double odd

The absurd European elitism.

The leftist echo chamber.

The Linux or die mentality.

The tankies.

The lack of content for smaller niche communities.

The duplication of communities across instances fracturing content even further.

The tankies.

Reddit already exists, we don’t need another one.

coldy ,

joins open source decentralized community that’s part of the FOSS social media alternatives advocating for a more open internet

is annoyed that communities can be split across the different instances of lemmy since there is no one central authority

is annoyed that there are a lot of leftists driven off the big platforms by the rise in aggressive centrist or center right moderation to cater to advertiser demands

is annoyed people there really like the largest open source operating system

While I can agree that the tankies are horrendous and echo chambers don’t lead to good communities, it’s an unfortunate side effect of just not being big enough to invite enough mainstream opinion. At least two of those can be solved in time if Lemmy grows in popularity.

The European elitism though, yeah, that’s a shitshow everywhere, we’re a stupid bunch.

bloodfart , to asklemmy in What would you like to change about Lemmy culture?

get rid of votes.

they’re dumb and only exist to transform a forum into content.

if lemmy isn’t for profit or doing ads, there’s no reason to transform a forum into content.

so get rid of the votes.

MinusPi ,

Nah. The voting system is a great way to filter out bullshit, spam, etc. It doesn’t always work, but the wisdom of the crowd is real.
