[update: this was a misunderstanding]

Here’s the update for convenience

(… saw this on my feed, only just thought to check the community itself to see if there was another post, my bad)

Also from the UK (also Manchester actually, literally on the Metrolink right now). I also have no idea what that person said.

In the UK, generally chosen by party membership. There’s been some experiments with open primaries, but nothing really substantial.

It’s probably worth mentioning that, because the timings of our elections are generally left to the whim of the Prime Minister, candidates are normally elected by the party way in advance so they’re ready just in case anything happens. Our election cycles also usually last only six weeks, which isn’t enough time to run an internal election and then campaign.

Fun fact: the Tories actually experimented with open primaries in some constituencies. I don’t expect that to last though

Put a slash before the dot, like 5\.:

5. Go straight to jail.

This is a Markdown issue really. Starting a line with a number and then a dot turns that line into an item in an ordered list. The most common behaviour (that I’ve seen) is to start that list from 1, regardless of what number is used. The intent is to make it easy to add items later without renumbering everything, for living documents at least.

Where was suicide mentioned?

Only if I can still decide when I go to sleep

I find it kinda ironic that they communicate over Discord, but it looks interesting

The legend seems confusing to me. I think it’s trying to say that /home is non-standard. Notice that the description for /var/run explicitly states it’s deprecated, and has a solid border.

for a second I thought I read

I get what you mean, but you’re talking about proportional representation (specifically closed-list). Parliament style refers to how the executive branch is formed. Here in the UK, we have a parliamentary system (the Government, our executive branch, is picked* by Parliament, our legislature), but elect the lower house using first-past-the-post, the same system the US uses.
