Good! States need to follow suit.

No. Lots of voters actually want that. 80 million people or such.

I know and use Linux as a desktop. I constantly switch back to Windows because Linux flaws aren’t worth my time. It’s not about clueless consumers. It’s about not dealing with an os that actively makes it harder to use your computer than the competition.

How about, no. I want my computer to work for me. I don’t want to work for my computer. This is why the majority of programmers out there, people who clearly can use the command line, use Windows.

count.bat sounds a lot cooler.

Come back when you can stop being an angsty child.

First, Clinton and Gore weren’t abnormally strong in climate change or genocide.

Second, That’s not a good strategy when the Republican candidate is quoting Hitler and saying he’s going to install concentration camps.

Let me destroy your argument with one fact. We’ve already had 50% voter turnout. It’s how we got Bush Sr. No one is going to care if you don’t vote. In fact no one said to Bush Sr he didn’t represent the people. So you should look into some of the things you’re saying first. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_presidential_elections

Dude it’s basic math.

If person a gets 20 votes and person b gets 19 votes and if you were going to vote for person b then didn’t, person a wins instead of ties. Do that on a major scale to one party and you get a party that will never win again.

So I don’t know where you get off on pretending I’m playing make believe. It makes me think you have to resort to these adhoc attacks because your stance is super weak and you know it.

Yeah, that simply gives the vote to who you oppose. In fact this is the same propaganda that Russia pushed leading up to the 2016 elections. It’s how Trump won in the first place. Makes me very suspect of your motives.

That’s not a solution and the same result as voting for a third party. No one in America is going to care that you didn’t vote.

There is no way a third-party candidate wins in our system. It’s simply not possible and to vote for one is to split the party vote. Look what happened with the Bull-Moose party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1912_United_States_presidential_election The rules haven’t changed since so this is all you could expect from trying to get people to switch. You’d hand it over to Trump.

Sadly, the way the game is set up, if you don’t vote for one of the two parties then you are essentially splitting the vote and creating a void in which the party you never wanted to win will now certainly win. It’s the only way to play with the rules we currently have.

Biden is still the best choice. People will vote for him until they can’t.

I voted in WA State. Not that my vote is really going to sway things on a federal level. I didn’t have one federal-level vote on my ballot this year. That said I saw a ton of young minorities going up against a bunch of white old people for local positions. While I still voted for who I thought would do a great job, that person was usually the younger minority folks over the white old folks.

One thing I did vote for is https://www.tacoma4all.org/initiative01 which a bunch of the against arguments boiled down to “the landlords will sell and tear down the buildings and we’ll all be homeless if we enact a law that says landlords need to be responsible people!” It was really shocking to see such a weak argument in the voter’s pamphlet. Check it out here: https://i.imgur.com/HH6HNRk.png

We funded the IRS in 2021 and in 2022 they came out saying they will start taxing 600 dollar transfers via cash apps as taxable income. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/venmo-paypal-zelle-must-report-600-transactions-irs-rcna11260 so while I agree we should fund the IRS and lower taxes for smaller folks, right now it seems like if we fund the IRS they just are going to make it harder on the working class.

Feels like this is entirely just blaming the driver which isn’t the cause of 99% of Wayland issues. I know obs, another open sourced project, has caused a lot of issues with Wayland. It’s not driver related.

As for xorg not being a problem, in the same regard why even bother with a display server at all. The point isn’t that’s it’s bad it’s that there are better ways of doing things.

Frankly, the only reason I care is the end-user drawbacks that Wayland seems to have. There are tons of bugs and issues. On top of that, I use Nvidia proprietary drivers which also causes more drawbacks and issues. It feels like at this point a third option needs to be made available. It’s been 15 years since Wayland was released and it still has a large amount of bugs and isn’t ready for most distros to adopt it.

I’ve not touched the Wayland or Xorg code, and I’ve not looked into why Wayland is so broken, but the major issue I see is that it’s taken them 15 years to still have a buggy display server. Display servers need to be the most stable you could possibly make them. They need to be made with desktop and fullscreen exclusive apps in mind. They need to be made modern and extendable while also ensuring those extensions aren’t able to crash the entire display server. They need to be robust and that’s just not what you are going to find with Wayland, or Xorg, or perhaps even Linux in general.

Honestly, the biggest issue for me is that it’s someone else’s code that is usually not following industry standards of maintaining something. Usually, it goes off in some open-source standard way of doing something. If more projects were better at standardizing toward the known industry standards then it’d be far easier for me to jump into.

Yeah, I mean if it’s a static website unless it’s using a generator, the source is accessible by just visiting the website. So having it public shouldn’t matter too much, right? Even if it’s using a generator, it’s not like what you are writing is secret. That said I use GitLab and Hugo on a private repo. I have no reason to make it public and all the highly experienced web developers told me it simply doesn’t need to be public so why make it public?
