I created this shortcut after seeing a Reddit post a few months ago.

It collects information like the current weather, location, and time of day, then asks Apple Intelligence to generate a prompt for an image generator. The shortcut sends that prompt to Apple Playground and sets the resulting image as the iPhone wallpaper*. Everything runs locally on the iPhone, with no data sent to the internet. I also set up some time-based automations to run the shortcut periodically.

• you might need to manually configure the last step where it says Wallpaper 3 to something that is valid on your iPhone

Hi all,

I’ve been thinking about the pros and cons of proportional representation (PR) versus first-past-the-post (FPTP) systems, and one issue keeps coming up that I’d like to get your perspective on.

In large countries where populations are concentrated in a few big cities, PR systems can weaken the direct link between voters and a single local representative. Unlike FPTP, where each constituency elects one MP who directly represents that community.

FPTP allows voters to elect an MP who is accountable to their specific community and can be voted out if they don’t perform well. This local accountability and clear geographic representation seems as a major advantage.

So my question to the Fair Vote community is: how do you weigh this trade-off? Is the potential weakening of local representation in PR an acceptable downside given the gains in proportionality and inclusiveness? Or do you think there are ways to design PR systems that preserve strong local representation while also improving proportionality?

Would love to hear your thoughts and any examples or experiences you might share.

Thanks!

I’m just wondering if there is an implementation of a Lemmy instance that is distributed? As if multiple servers could host the same instance, e.g. lemmy.ca. This would help to reduce the load and cost of an instance. Also it would make it harder for an instance to get abandoned.
