People who have used induction hobs before - would you prefer touch controls (like touchscreen on a phone) or physical knobs and dials?

Touch: Easier to clean, but not great if you spill while cooking. Breakage: touch stops registering, or registers touch when you haven't touched it.

Knobs and dials: Muscle memory works better than with touch controls, but harder to clean. Breakage: Knob falls off.

#poll #polls

Option	Voters
Touch controls please	8 (6%)
Physical knobs and dials please	121 (85%)
Undecided/don't mind/mixed feelings	9 (6%)
Spiderman	5 (3%)

Hey, so I'm wanting to set up a public fedi microblogging instance and can't figure out which software I want to use
I'm familiar with managing Mastodon and GoToSocial, but am not particularly happy with Mastodon and feel GoToSocial may be a bit complicated for general users as there is no default front end (I still love you GTS)

I want something that

is relatively lightweight (most *keys are likely too much)
has good moderation features
has a default front end

The way I'll be hosting it all gives me the options in the poll below

Polls without an end date are much more common than I thought, apparently this is a default in Misskey. So here is an update of FEP-9967: Polls: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/706

Now endTime is optional:

Question objects MAY have an endTime property indicating the time when the poll ends.

I also added a sequence diagram. What's the best way of describing activities in such diagrams?

While developing the initial version of the #polls for #ActivityPub #WordPress plugin, I so often got reminded to the preamble words of @gancio from @lesion

"Building software means taking a stand, making decisions, choices. These choices start from a precise look at reality, from specific needs and ends implementing specific features, choose default values, simplify some flow and patterns while making difficult others."

It's just a tiny poll plugin, but there are still decisions to be made: For example, when to reveal the poll vote counts, to whom, and when to reset the vote counts (e.g. when changing the type from single choice to multiple).

There are many flow patterns that I don't consider worth striving for. Please help me by leaving some comments on the scenarios you can imagine.

"Trump called for Rupert Murdoch to fire the Fox pollster after their latest poll showed his approval rating slumping to a dismal 44%. Presidents typically enjoy a honeymoon period with the public during their first 100 days, but Trump’s first few months has a majority of Americans looking for a divorce."

"Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's [sic] this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading."

"Mr. Trump started his term with the second-lowest approval rating for a president in modern history. The only recent president to have started in a worse position was Mr. Trump the first time he took office."

I just updated my personal Mastodon server to the latest 4.3.4 version. It was a bit bumpier due to needing to upgrade some dependencies, but one major change for folks who modify the number of poll options, this is now handled inside app/validators/poll_options_validator.rb

Remember, I will write some erotica based on whatever the result is! (Prolly gonna have some mild #vore-play in there too, considering the potential partners...)

Anyway, #furverts, go vote on that poll!
