You’ll get a boatload of spoiler effect elections until people start voting tactically again. Third parties need to start locally and not participate in the presidential elections for a long time.

There is a path to voter reform by creating hung parliament and require voter reform in a coalition agreement. Once dominant running for governor or a senator becomes possible.

Yeah, fascist government are known for doing some voting reforms after all

The other thing Spotify is doing is commodifying and reducing the value of all of those things.

I also eat the tail, it has a nice crunch

There really needs to be an anti-trust lawsuit against ticketmaster

That’s probably not going to work. There will be less incentive for companies to work on a game if they can’t turn it into money stream. Especially big and expensive games. I think the outline above is pretty fair and a good start. They should throw on top of it banning loot boxes since they essentially develop gambling behavior in children.

One of the things LNG has over coal is that it’s very easy to turn off and on in case cheaper sources aren’t producing enough. LNG plays much better with renewables and coal also produces ton of pollution and particulate matter. It’s the lesser of two evils when there are no methane leaks.

Methane leaks will still punch the climate in the gut so any leaks are unacceptable and all methane gas needs to be accounted for.

Both obviously need to be replaced with renewables and large cost efficient energy storage. Hydrogen is attractive since energy doesn’t degrade over time, pumped hydro for weekly to monthly high quantity and power, flywheels/lithium batteries to stabilise the grid frequency, heat storage with district heating for households and redux flow batteries with massive containers for winter/summer differences.

We might live in a strange world where it’ll be easier to run Windows programs on ARM with Linux than on the OS they’re written for.

String/rope. With a couple of knots, loops and tension you can make a lot of things with it.

Dodgeball

It’s the Internet during US elections.

I think it depends on how you use the OS, Gnome is great until you have a bunch of outdated extensions that break stuff. My impression is that KDE is better for the “advanced” use case and gnome is better for the “default”. I tried gnome recently and I found it very pleasant and easy to use but I prefer KDE since it has more customization.

I’d argue it’s the other way around. Windows is doing the heavy lifting of being like KDE and when they try to do something themselves everybody hates it.

Any distro with KDE, when I was on Windows I thought Linux always looked like Gnome.

Hi there

Yeah, I heard some slogans at one point and I thought “That’s sounds pretty nice, let’s check her out”. I then watched a single interview with her and I was thoroughly disappointed. No plan, no knowledge about the problem, no idea about common solutions. Not even just answering with a politician segue into a prepared statement either, just a train wreck.

I think the green party might go somewhere, just not under Jill Stein.

I think crypto has a lot of potential in this space. You can effectively have a wallet with cash that requires 2 factor auth to make the transaction that is anonymous in both directions.

This picture is not accurate. The world should be flat on top of the turtle.

Jill Stein has some good ideas but her party needs to spend some quality time working on a very narrow set of counties/states they’re strongest in.

I think there will be some appetite in the electorate for an anti-establishment, voter-reform, anti-corruption left party. The US sorely needs a nice set of representatives that bring forward fresh ideas and criticism to the parliament.

The strategy for third parties should always be to get some seats and then hope for a hung parliament to get one or two policies adjusted and voter reform as a coalition agreement.

Yeah, it has it’s perks but my NFC stops working on a regular basis. Also I don’t like having my payments go through a spyware conglomerate.
