Element 0 is the first element of the list

I feel like I’ve had the opposite experience in the gui (maybe a KDE issue?) closing gui windows frequently lock up, and I find I frequently have to drop to the command line in order to properly kill some programs

Not anymore

My fucking Governor is in on it

Everybody gets to do one genocide, that’s how it works, right?

It’s only “not unquestioning support” in the literal sense, i.e. we’re willing, rhetorically, to make vague gesters about red lines, but unwilling to put any of that rhetoric into action.

This is way too coherent

so the “stupid fucking robot” is correct?

Probably simply that they are done with it (mono specifically, and possibly .net framework in the long run)

Reality has a left leaning bias

This is functionally spending money on the climate crisis, on the side of the crisis.

But if they just let everyone vote, they wouldn’t hold power anymore.

Won’t somebody please think of the politicians?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day

Yeah, ok, that sucks. Oregon should still try to make actual polling locations available for people who need (or want) it.

I still don’t think that that’s a reason to abandon vote by mail altogether. The accessibility of it reduces the impact of other voting problems we have in the us overall.

I’m still going to push back hard on the idea that the system has to be 100% perfect. So long as humans are involved, that simply isn’t possible.

There are always going to be tradeoffs.

You’re correct, I should have been more thorough.

Here’s one of the sources cited by that Wikipedia article:

Mostly-Mail Elections (aka Vote-by-Mail, All-Mail or Vote-at-Home Elections) What Are Mostly-Mail Elections? In mostly-mail elections, all registered voters are sent a ballot through the mail. The voter marks the ballot, puts it in a secrecy sleeve or envelope if required, places it in a separate mailing envelope, signs an affidavit on the exterior of the mailing envelope or otherwise provides verification of their identify and then returns the ballot via mail or by dropping it off at an approved return location.

Ballots are mailed out well ahead of Election Day, and thus voters have an “election period,” not just a single day, to vote. Mostly-mail elections can be thought of as absentee voting for everyone. This system is also referred to as “vote-by-mail” or all-mail ballot elections. While “mostly-mail elections” means that every registered voter receives a ballot by mail, this does not preclude in-person voting opportunities on or before Election Day. For example, even though all registered voters in Colorado are mailed a ballot, voters can choose instead to cast a ballot at an in-person vote center during the early voting period or on Election Day.

According to this, “All mail elections” are not different from “mostly mail” elections, and doesn’t preclude the use of in person voting.

systems should make doing the wrong thing impossible

Please no, imo that’s an incredibly fucked line of reasoning

From the article you linked

As of 2022, California mails every registered voter a ballot before the elections, but there is still the option to vote in-person

Can’t have salads because they could be used for voter coercion?
