Votes matter but you also have a system in place, and if you're necking the 50/50 vote point expect that system to matter. Going to lala land and imagining a system that isn't how your system actually works doesn't fix anything.

Get more people to vote
Discourage 3rd party bait picks that will never get elected because they don't even have a local/state/anything presence
As an added bonus, you'd probably need to get people more interested in house/senate elections if you actually wanted to do anything about the electoral college. Cause it's not being changed at the presidential level.

He barely lost the popular vote, and in the end the electoral college decides. It's complete denial to act like it was a landslide. Even if you agree the electoral college is problematic it was a bad election.

If you don't want to think about the electoral college, the popular vote has to be a landslide, not what it was in 2016.

You can even look it up and this isn't even the first time this has happened. it's the 4th time. It doesn't even get the most blatant discrepancy

Keep in mind that you are an experienced user of linux.

This site is probably about people who are both inexperienced, and also may not have time to adequately learn the system the way you have.

And no, as someone who has gone through Fedora, Mint, and Arch, saying they're for "everyone" just assumes everyone is going to use linux the same way you do. Which is a huge mistake. Arch didn't even have a normal installer up until a year ago, the process even with the arch wiki guide is completely unwieldy for most users to do. Many distros disable popular codecs by default, which a lot of users wouldn't have the patience for. Some will have Nvidia drivers for up to date for gaming, and some won't.

And most of all, you're also running new users into the choice dilemma, where there's so many options they just won't know what to pick.

I mean...if you want unmodded entirely, don't you just go to 4chan?

You need some moderation and they can't all be exploitive self entitled if that can be argeed on. it has be working somehow

...What does the writer think support end means? Microsoft bricks the PC as soon as the support period ends?

They're going to just keep using Windows 10, security be damned. Probably a good number of users who weren't keeping their PC up to date even when Microsoft was forcing updates on them.

It's usually people who weren't thinking of giving to a charity until the charity host did it. And it's usually also done for in return for entertainment.

So while there's definitely an overarching goal to get something to a charity, it's usually about grabbing people who would normally not think about doing it.

It's a classic yes. It's been re-released very sparsely though.

It's kindof like a smash-bros like game with a simplified combat style and weapons, especially the second game where they added 4-player gameplay

I don't think RTS was even big when RTS was big. SC1 and wc3's custom map scenes were way bigger.

A lot of the games that killed the RTS genre were even games from that custom map scene.

(That all being said, it didn't exactly die. Just it didn't grow the way Moba did)

So is this basically saying youtube isn't allowed to detect an adblocker?

I'm not sure I really follow why that specifically is something they're policing.

Isn't the main issue whether or not there's an ease to replace? There's like 20 steps and a bunch of easily breakable cables involved with replacing it currently.

I mean I think you can replace the Switch's battery too by that standard.

Same site even says it's only 1 extra step in total, though instead of the cables being in the way, it sounds like the shields a bit more difficult.

But like either of these replacements would require a technical user to do it.

But what do you do when a known Dictator walks in?

Meta is going to establish itself, and go back to old habits once it's on top in the fediverse.
