I get the concern but I don’t think you need to be as concerned as with email. Email is a lot simpler without a lot of validation. On the fediverse, HTTP Signatures are used to verify requests, so you can’t spoof stuff as easily.

That said, spam mitigation will probably still be an issue that continuously needs to be dealt with.

What does it mean if a democracy bans a party that the voters want to elect?

To be fair, 80% of voters did not vote for AfD - and if 80% of voters want to ban a party? Well, that is democracy. Although it’s a dangerous tool to use.

The US is way more fucked, as more people actually voted for Trump than not.

It’s not that hard to understand. The whole gaming industry is filled with people who are super passionate about games, like passionate to a fault. This makes it very, very difficult to unionize as there’s almost always some other game dev out there who would take the job for less pay and more hours.

I actually know a friend like that. He was job jumping a lot, looking for game dev roles almost exclusively. He finally landed such a role. Far as I heard, he’s working overtime a lot (voluntarily) and he earns less than half of what I earn as a “regular” software developer.

It’s a political necessity really. If you keep denying the losing party any influence, they’ll grow bigger.

The Danish political system has very successfully stopped the far right parties by acknowledging their concerns and bringing some but not all of their policies into the centrist parties. Honestly this is probably much better than the alternative of the far right parties getting more and more influence.

EDIT: If you’re not Danish and not familiar with our (very successful, I might add) democratic political system, you might not understand, but it has worked quite effectively here. Keep in mind the Danish political leaning is quite leftist already, so even some of our “right-wing” parties are still quite left wing all things considered.

Kind of a strange blog post. Clearly it requires a lot of technical knowledge, yet it explains basic TypeScript syntax and variables and how to use an editor. While simultaneously showing SQL code. There doesn’t seem to be a clear target audience to this.

There is a standard way to encode Unicode into URLs, it definitely doesn’t have to be ascii. Percent encoding is used all over the place.

EDIT: I don’t mind a down vote but double down voting me from your alt @Asudox@lemmy.world is not cool. That’s sockpuppetry/vote manipulation.
