Minneapolis implemented ranked choice voting several years ago, and also began hand tallying ballots because there were no machines or software certified to do the counting and reallocation necessary.

The city began setting expectations early: you will not know the results on election night. Everyone survived, there was no calamity, the results were just as real and valid. Life went on.

It's the expectation of instant results that's the problem.

My official take as Infosec Knowledge Haver: Electronic voting is cool in theory but WE ARE NOT THERE YET IT IS NOT SAFE IT DOES NOT WORK

All votes should be made on paper and counted by people. Anything else contributes to voter disenfranchisement.

"aaaaaa?" actually, the singular is: aaaaaum

Hoping the 2020s will be know historically as "the Boring Twenties" we've had enough news, let's chill.

If you have a .org domain name: go renew it now. For the full 10 years.

Registration rights for .org were just bought by a private equity firm. And as part of that contract, the price caps were removed.

Anything in .org will get much more expensive, soon.

A ten year renewal will cost you a bit over a hundred bucks. Which is probably less than one year will cost you in the very near future.

@bryn For your consideration, I present the Nobody Wins Compromise Bi Flag

The US's problem: a 240 year old document structures the government and some people argue a LOT about original intention.

The UK's problem: /NO/ written document structures the government and people argue a LOT about tradition.

Hey, I have a blind friend who might want to join us on the Fediverse. Does anyone have a guide to accessibility etc that might be more useful than me just sending her a link to an instance?
