@Cal There'll still be something strange there, it'll just no longer be your neighborhood, now it's Area-142.
@Wearwolf I'm guessing it's the default because it's the least-picked option, and they want to even out their deliveries across the day as much as possible.
ie. they're intentionally making the default the worst one because it's better for them.
@Cal Misc is for minor issues that don't need a full category. Other is for issues that don't fit anything else including Misc.
@azninsect postal is annoying when you live alone, as it requires a witness. Plus I'm uneasy about it in general: The accessibility is of course important but you lose the enforced secrecy of your ballot.
"Our ballots arrived dear, I filled them out with how we're voting. Sign here."

@azninsect They removed the early voting center a few minutes walk from me, without a car it's now way too far to bother getting to one. If I wait for voting day it becomes only a 10min walk.

Between that and moving me from a marginal seat to a safe seat, I'm a little upset with the AEC this election.

@Texan_Reverend Though it should be noted that the .social TLD is administrated by a US company. Less concerning, but could still potentially end up in a queer.af situation.
@foone Do you think they'd define new code points for the nuclear arming codes, or would it be Private Use?
@helle Something something reproducible...

@DB_VST @edolnx Also it's very easy to write bots that use the zulip API to do more specialized tasks/integrations like automodding or notifications (I saw this thread because it got auto posted in our zulip).

The thread model is good for technical communities because each question/idea can have a thread, unlike slack/discord where it gets lost in a busy channel. You can make the history public read-only without login.

I suggest looking at the Rust zulip to get an idea. https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com

@Cal My brain reflexively applied https://xkcd.com/37/ to your statement, and I had time to think "sounds more like an OnlyFans video than Patreon" before I noticed.
