How do I know this is his form? Nowhere on the page does it indicate the author.
You only provided his Wikipedia profile and a random YouTube video.
Respectfully, this goes against every guidance against sharing your PII on the internet.
Ahh, yes, the 'ol rando sketchy Google Form. Democracy as the founders intended.
I think this discounts the potential impacts partisan gerrymandering had on promoting the blue wave and potentially discouraging Republican voters.
Gerrymandering is incredibly unpopular, regardless of party. When Republican leaders shouted from the rooftops “We don’t think we can win a fair election, so we’re gonna cheat!” They helped fire up Democrats and turned off Republicans.
They also triggered counter-redistricting efforts in states like California with traditionally fair election maps.
Their new maps may have been effective in a vacuum, but realistically, I suspect that move did more harm than good.
Here’s a hint - anyone who thinks a baseless investigation is an effective threat probably has a lot of things they’re hiding
I’m really glad Microsoft did all that work turning Outlook into a live service web wrapper that can’t function offline because now when they do something stupid I basically get the day off.
Keep fucking up Microsoft.
LITERALLY
It’s also why I’m excited about the Steam Machine despite not actually owning or wanting one. It gives a consistent benchmark upon which game developers can be judged, and hopefully further encourages Linux support.
If reviewers start consistently referencing Steam Machine performance, it’ll give developers something to optimize for instead of just optimizing for the latest, fastest hardware.
The numbering is weird, there aren’t actually 50 Propositions because you need a certain number of signatures to get something onto the ballots. Only like 10 Propositions actually make it onto the ballot each year.
Everyone is eligible to receive a mailer that contains the full wording of the proposition, a couple of pages summary with complete “for” and “against” arguments (and rebuttals), as well as a ~2 paragraph summary from a coalition of folks representing the “for” and “against” campaigns.
On top of that, outside groups like DSA provide “Voter guides” like the above, that you can independently research.
The ballot itself just has a title. You are not required to read anything to vote, but I’d wager most folks just read the official “for” and “against” blurbs and form an opinion.
ETA: You can see the official voter guides here, just scroll to the PDFs and choose your preferred language.
To be honest and blunt, the quick reference opposition arguments were quite weak, which is likely what carried this proposition over the line.
Docker helps with software compatibility, SBCs with hardware.
Communities are not legal institutions. The rules are suggestions to keep the community organized and on subject.
Just because a rule doesn’t exist, doesn’t mean mods are powerless to react to content that breaks the social order.
Not everything needs a rule unless it’s a significant problem or common misunderstanding.
The advantage of SBCs aren’t just the price, it’s the uniformity. Before SBCs made it on the scene, the default response when something doesn’t work was either:
“Well, it works on my 12-year-old Thinkpad”
Or
“Your system sucks, just buy better hardware”
Now there’s a consistent system to build compatibility for and benchmark against that can help the most people, allowing devs to spend time on things other than hardware, and allowing a “how-to” community to flourish, bringing new users into the fold.
Please let Hegseth be the GOP nominee, dude is practically radioactive for abusing troops and being a key player of the economic nightmare we find ourselves in.
That endorsement from the Michael J Fox Foundation carried a lot of weight, it seems.
Yeah, it does imply that, which is why they compared the top 3 oil companies to the top 3 environmental groups.
Together, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron spent $2.1 million on “social issue” ads on Facebook and Instagram between late July and late October 2026. In the same period, three of the top climate and environmental groups – the League of Conservation Voters, the Sierra Club, and Greenpeace – spent just over $846,000, less than half the amount spent by oil companies.
But also, it doesnt matter because they could have focused on Shell alone who outspent all three Climate groups combined
The office of the President has a press budget. They could easily give him a dumpster to shit in over at whitehouse.gov, woulda made it harder to grift idiots though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Look, I’m tired of Jefferies smug “I tweeted about it, what more do you want” face, but I do want to call out a bit of a hypocrisy I’m seeing here on Lemmy.
Theres a bunch of folks clamoring about how they want Democrats to focus on trying to fix things and not just waste time on impeachment, but then Jefferies says that’s what he’s gonna do and everyone is back to WHAT ABOUT IMPEACHMENT.
Personally I’m a fan of the walk and chew approach of doing both, but seeing a lot of people bickering about what Democrats should do for the next two years as if nothing they do will be sufficient.
For me, for now, I’m just glad we slowed the bleeding.
Makes sense, built like that he’s not going to be taking the exit stairs. Bad for the knees.
