  • Seriously, how would a global democracy work?

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is simply the correct answer. Everything else I've read here ranges from overcomplicated to completely insane.

    Why are people so obsessed with digital/internet voting?

    Just use normal ballots, with pen and paper, and have a little patience while it gets collected, mailed and counted!

  • Yeah, I'd rather be doing a good thing poorly, than a bad thing successfully.

  • What came to mind when I saw that stock photo

  • I think something that is often underappreciated is the level of independent technical knowledge needed to install and use Linux, let alone troubleshoot it, even today.

    Microsoft has a support hotline, and staff that will help you, it comes pre-installed, and every tech store under the sun will help you along.

    With Linux, that's a bit harder. Plus, although it's often a criticism for some people, windows' hand holding won't let you truly fuck up, and will always have a backup ready.

    Linux on the other hand will let you run it into a brick wall, and completely delete your whole laptop.

    Those are generally still really good reasons people want to stick with Microsoft or Apple, since there's a far more accessible support network around it.

    And in my experience Linux portals and forums are quite gatekeepy if you're not aware of what's going on. That's not the most fun place to be if you're stuck and don't know what you're doing.

    Linux is great and I personally would recommend it to a lot of people, but definitely not everyone, and it's definitely not just downsides. There's plenty of legit cases where it's the better option, even if the tools and everything function equally.

  • California's youth gun homicide rate dropped 50% between 2006-2022. Over the same period, Texas's rate rose 49% and Florida's rate rose 23%

  • Damn, that 2020 spike really tells a whole other tragic story of its own.

  • I just erased my project

  • I need a t-shirt that says this.

    This is a programmers mic drop.

  • The name "seagull" implies the existence of landgulls, airgulls, and firegulls.

    Jump

  • Long ago, the four gulls lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the fire gulls attacked...

  • Due to American politics I'm afraid of using high speed rail in Germany

  • To add context for anyone who doesn't know: DB is notorious for being incredibly delayed. Lots of cancellations, 30-40 minutes late is no rarity, and if you have a connection to catch I can guarantee you that it'll be the ONE train running on time.

    So you are right to be concerned, but only because you'll never get to start your journey in the first place.

  • UK car crash expert says cars sold in Europe are so much safer than in the U.S.

  • Why did gandhi ask britain to seek peace with nazi germany?

    Jump

  • Well, I'd certainly want someone else to check his work first!

    But even that is beside the point. Gandhi's achievements aren't in an inherently rational and objective field. No matter who you are, gravity works the same.

    But instead Gandhi's field is morals, ethics and politics. Those are inherently subjective and about opinions. If you have a really shitty opinion, then yeah, I'll question your other opinions.

  • This is awesome, definitely adding that stream to my bookmarks. Thanks for sharing!
