That would definitely help a lot. It wouldn’t be perfect, but at least some people’s votes wouldn’t be worth 3x more than others.

Who’s Dessalines? The name sounds familiar, but I can’t remember much else.
It’s absolutely insane that we have to talk about winning swing states instead of just having everyone’s voice matter and vote count equally. Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and his presidency was illegitimate. We will never have a functioning democracy as long as we have the electoral college.
Thanks, you have saved me the time of trying it again.
Does KDE connect actually work with SMS on Windows now? Last time I used it, I couldn’t text people, only reply using the notification if they texted me and I happened to click on it quickly enough. Pretty useless.
If Microsoft was a smaller company, this would completely ruin them and the next headline would be them declaring bankruptcy after failing to fight off 50,000 lawsuits. Fortunately for them, laws don’t apply to companies their size.
Firefox can open PDFs and I’m not sure about the desktop versions, but the Android version is 117MB.
That doesn’t matter. If you buy a house and miss a sentence buried in page 2,784 of the agreement that says that the previous owner can arbitrarily decide to take the house back whenever they feel like it, that still won’t hold up in court. Digital products need to work the same way.

That doesn’t matter. You don’t get to just unlitaterally revoke something people paid for because they didn’t want to sign up for an account at a company that was unrelated to Minecraft when they bought the game. This should be illegal.
You need more data to recognize frames, but not a lot more data. A hash for each quality setting would be sufficient as long as they don’t start fuzzing the videos, which would be very expensive on their part.
It’s illegal to not identify an ad as an ad (unless you’re a movie maker, but that’s a different topic). All ad blockers need to do is read that indicator. That might not be super simple, but I have faith in the abilities of the brilliant people behind many ad-blocking technologies.
Myanmar’s average internet speed looks to be around 10-20mbps, so they probably stream with lower quality. Their GDP per capita is ~$1,150, so ads being shown to people in Myanmar wouldn’t be worth much anyway.
There are multiple Borg queens.
If replicators existed in our universe, they would probably have some sort of DRM built-in and make you pay a fee to the people who made the patterns it replicates whenever you use it. This would naturally progress to bundles and subscriptions, just like how we went from digitally “buying” movies to paying for streaming services that give us access to a large bundle of media. There would also be no way around this because whoever invented the technology would be the only one selling it and the DRM would likely be hardware-level.
You don’t need an entire VPN just to block ads. I use RethinkDNS on Android and it blocks ads in most apps.
I don’t really remember SQL, does it prevent you from using a range of values? I can understand why leap seconds would be an issue.
I don’t really get why people use any time other than ms/seconds since the epoch for anything other than displaying that time to the end user. Having time just be a single number with no time zone shenanigans makes writing logic like that so much easier.
If they can prove you got a bunch of gold with a loan and then your descendants suddenly have a bunch of gold, but they can’t prove it’s the same gold, is that enough to make the descendants pay back the loan?
What if you did it with Monero to make it impossible to prove it’s the same money?
They’re not a troll, they’re just being sarcastic.
