No not exactly. There is no randomness involved in the generation of the text at that page at all. Though you are somewhat correct in that it "doesnt contain anything".. .the actual text are not stored in its entierty on the server. But the text in any one book is predefined and will always have the same text.

@theamazingweb @General

Just a little reminder of why the two party system is a fallacy and why you should vote third party tomorrow:

1) the chance of Biden-Trump being determined by a single vote is virtually impossible. There is a greater chance that a third party will win the election than there is of Biden and Trump being decided by one vote.

2) Because your vote wont actually determine the outcome of the election what you need to ask yourself is what vote will send the message you want for the future. You cant effect who will win but by bolstering the numbers of the party you think is ideologically the best you send the message for future elections that the party you support stands a chance. You are and always have been voting for future elections, not this one.. so the real vote is, do you wantt o perpetuate a two party system or do you want to see the two party system broken?

3) the primary parties will be on the ballot regardless. Third parties need to have a certain level of support to make the ballots at all. By voting third party you ensure that third parties show on the ballot in future elections and help drive change whereby we can push out the priamry parties from having a monopoly...

In short, there is no argument to support a two party system exists, there is no logical reason that your vote is more effective or does more good voting for a party based on its liklihood of winning. However not voting third party does do real measurable harm, even with just one vote.

If you care about america do the right thing, vote third party!

I feel like this is how the Raspberry Pi should have been packaged from day one, just built directly into a keyboard.

@nev This is how it should have always been sold.

@arteteco Jo Jergensen is one of choices i keep waffling between.. Jo is clearly the best candidate on the ballot

@curt Ahh I see, interesting.

@curt Ahh interesting.. I'm left wondering though how such a system could possibly bootstrap a new party then where there have been no past elections for said party.

@pthenq1

to vote for a clearly evil candidate just because you want to wind up on the same side of the majority sounds wrong on every level and the root of most evils in a sense (doing something you know to be wrong simply to fit in with the crowd).

There is certainly no factual argument to show why you would do more good voting a primary party.

@curt

@pthenq1

I would say that statement is true for the two primary parties, but not third parties.

@curt

@curt Can you let me know which state you are aware of where ballot access is determined by voting results from previous years?

@lain

sorry I seemed to have missed this.

so private groups are only private in terms of their membership (who can follow it or see the posts). The actual posts that originate with a user and get boosted by the group are still going to retain whatever level of access the OP granted (which generally needs to be public if you want everyone in a group to see it)..

But thats just for now. We will be rolling out fully-private groups (including the original posts) shortly. Those will work by the group using the quote standard we and misskey use to link to the original post and then recreating the content of the post with a new post from the group itself. This way the OP can make their original post fully private (and even a DM to the group) and we can have roundtrip privacy on groups.

Me when I finally decide its time to turn on the heat for the first time this year...

@mur2501 No arguments there.

@mur2501 Well sure, but people think a lot of stupid things. Lucky for me in this case, I do not :)

Why would the chance of them winning hold any relevance to if i vote for them or not?
