That already exists. It’s called arXiv, and is used by mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists. Everyone else has to pay up.

I’m using data from StatCounter, as mentioned in the figure. See Belarus and Russia. They could be wrong; their figures are based on website hits.

Fixed. Thanks!

LibreOffice + me trying to fix things and making it worse + svg to png conversion

You overestimate my artistic abilities. I took the default colour palette LibreOffice gave, and replaced a few with ones that clash less.

Look at the bar chart below. Apple has almost a two-third marketshare in Japan, but only about 20% in China. But China has a variety of Android manufacturers, so that Apple is the single biggest vendor.

Sorry, but I couldn’t find 12 distinct colours that all lie on the blue - yellow spectrum.

In addition to what philpo said, they also provide good language support for many African languages, something no other vendor does.

Voting is about choosing good candidates well before it gets pared down to 2 options.

In the US, yes. I was making a general statement. A voting system can be set up in multiple ways, but if it forces people to play lesser of the two evils then it is broken and needs to be changed.

Voting is about choosing good candidates (or parties, or policies). If your system doesn’t let you vote, then you should consider changing your system.

If a violent criminal tried to break into my house, I would definitely not try to fight them alone. I do not have a death wish.

Of course Russia should not occupy Ukraine (and neither should Ukraine act as an occupying army towards its own Russian minority). But questions of what is right and what is wrong will not be decided on the battlefield. The only thing that will be proven on the battlefield is which side has a bigger army, and we already know the answer to that question.

that is definitely NOT taking a side lol.

Under the current circumstances, the only moral position is to support peace. Once a peace - or at least a ceasefire - is achieved, Russia, Ukraine and the separatist regions may be able to negotiate a settlement and those who started the war might even be exposed and punished. But if the fighting continues, thousands of random people will die needlessly.

This was just incredibly dumb. Now any positive news about their new phone is going to be seen as planted.

Gold having 1 more is weird because you would expect no silver if two have gold and therefore a difference of 2.

Vinesh Phogat was disqualified for being overweight during the weigh-in of the 50kg women’s wrestling final. Her opponent got gold, and both losing semifinalists got bronze.

It became a big controversy in India because she had been <50kg for every match until then, and she had previously protested against the wrestling federation - which chose her dietician and other staff - for covering up sexual assault cases.

Among smaller parties, the Liberal Democrats have gained over 60 seats, and Reform, the Greens and Plaid Cymru have also gained seats. Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, now contesting as an independent, retained Islington North. Labour lost another three seats to independents who ran against its inaction on Palestine. The SNP and DUP suffered big losses, while Sinn Fein’s fortunes seem to have remained unchanged.
