I didn’t say voting is pointless. You should go vote too. But if I go vote in the US I’ll be arrested.

Yes, which is why voting is not enough: you have to campaign for the candidates you want to see. The ranked-choice system would fix this but that’s off-limits for now.

The time to vote for someone good is the primaries, which set what the dichotomy of the actual election is going to be like. In the November dichotomy, voting for the lesser evil is kinda the only option unless you want Big Evil to win.

Yes, it would be better to “merge” the main election and primaries into a ranked-choice vote but that’s not happening anytime soon.

Did you read the post? They’re actually being quite liberal given the anti-harassment policies of their host countries. Yes, the law that protects trans kids and other minorities from death threats and mistrial also (unfortunately) protects the 1% from death threats and mistrial.

They’re probably going to make a deal with Google to improve Google Lens. Yes, it will eventually help the blind but Reddit’s shareholders will be getting even richer from people’s donated time.

They’re not winning over the blind again after they limited access to screen-reader-accessible apps.

At least its plugins, which are what needs to be regularly updated as platforms change, are open source. I imagine someone will clean-room reverse-engineer the core app and make an open source one that uses the plugins.

Also, Louis Rossmann said they only reserve the right to go after forks to prevent a situation like all the shady ad-ridden NewPipe ones flooding Google Play Store.

My CPU lasted longer than the sticker (it’s a laptop)

Who’s Jane? This is Fedora the Explainer.

G can be mapped after boot (usually to removable drives)

Yes but he’s a symptom, not the cause. His 2016 victory was not a fluke.
