I tried summarizing the history of the whole thing with relevant links in https://iscanadafair.ca/2015/. What surprised me while getting all the context together was that basically the exact same thing happened in 1909: https://iscanadafair.ca/1909-1923/.

A little more subtle than that. The ERRE came back with a report (https://www.ourcommons.ca/Content/Committee/421/ERRE/Reports/RP8655791/errerp03/errerp03-e.pdf) whose #1 recommendation was adopting any system that's roughly proportional (e.g. MMP, STV, etc).
The Committee recommends that the Government should, as it develops a new electoral system, use the Gallagher index in order to minimize the level of distortion between the popular will of the electorate and the resultant seat allocations in Parliament. The government should seek to design a system that achieves a Gallagher score of 5 or less.
But instead of moving forward with a proportional system (which would impact the number of seats the liberals win by way of voters voting strategically for the Liberals), they instead released My democracy.ca. A push poll if there ever was one.
https://serratus.github.io/quaggaJS/ and whatnot exist. Any reason why such an approach couldn't be taken?
I have a Switch but have bought maybe 3 games for it tops. Where Steam has user reviews, a super simple refund policy, and frequent deep discounts, Nintendo's purchasing experience is clearly lacking in a customer-friendly approach.
Anyone asking for recommendations for their next gaming device, it's Steam Deck every time.
Alternatively, the ability to select a subscribed community and add it to one of my multi communities.
If you find such a thing, mind replying here? I want the exact same thing.
Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.
Sadly, this doesn't even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.
Totally possible to go overboard in either spectrum of complexity. But yeah, take Prometheus for example. It's super easy to set up and does a great job of metrics. Reimplementing this in bash would require... a lot of work.
Or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space ? But seriously, just use unique random strings likely through a password manager.
In some cases, PRs that have no merge conflicts can sit and languish for months on end. Example: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/8914. I'm not suggesting cavalierly accepting all PRs, but the devs could do a better job of communicating with prospective contributors. My desire to contribute to Jellyfin was somewhat dampened by that initial experience.
Edit: To be more constructive, I'd recommend not just a call to action (the blog post), but explicitly reaching out to devs who submitted their first PRs within the past year and finding out what their experiences were. Discovering a leaky onboarding process that you lose potential devs through could be instrumental!
I got a bunch of commits in around searching and similarity. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Abradbeattie+is%3Amerged, https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-web/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Abradbeattie+is%3Amerged.
