Yep, this is why the Senate is much more representative, and why the big parties who control the House of Representatives hate it so much.

Australia has mandatory voter turnout, but you do not need to submit a vote. You just need to show up on polling day.

So just to clear up a technical misconception here - the wording in the Electoral Act is quite clear. All enrolled electors are legally required to vote. It's only a consequence of the secret ballot that makes this provision unenforceable, so someone can turn up and get their name marked off while not submitting a vote without facing any consequences, but it is technically an illegal act.

If the AEC were to come up with some way to determine that you didn't vote without betraying that secret ballot, they would be within their rights to issue a you a fine.

Ultimately this won't change unless young Democrats actually take over the party and shift the overton window back to the left.

This generally, and specifically electoral reform is the only way to get the USA out of its two-party hellhole.

Americans merely adopted the nonsensical measurements. The Brits were born to them.

I think it'll actually be Xarmageddon, which is like Armageddon, but much more woke.

I'm surprised he hasn't changed his name to Elon Mux by now.

Ok but who actually doesn’t know what a magazine is

Kbin devs, apparently.

Android Debug Bridge - it's a tool you can use to access parts of Android you don't normally have access to directly on the phone.

Well Google has recently been forcing through its awful Web Environment Integrity proposal so...

I was also on the grandfathered Google Play Music pricing and saw the same email for increasing the cost of the individual sub.

The pricing makes sense in that context, since now the family plan is just barely cheaper than two individual plans (whereas that wasn't the case before).

This'll be a tough call, given I use YTM almost daily, and watch a lot of Youtube besides.

It's not the worst strategy (and is actually referred to as 'peppering' your password)... but if your primary use-case is websites and mobile apps, using a password manager like Bitwarden and randomly generated strong passwords is still a better strategy (and probably faster too, since you don't need to type it out manually anymore, and/or remember which flex you used when creating your 'peppered' password).

This is a good approach if you have to login to services that aren't via a web browser though - e.g. Remote desktops etc.

America really is an amazing country. I've never even heard of about half of this tier list.

I don't think broad brushstrokes are helpful here - regular people can be real assholes, and we need to balance a public servant's individual right to privacy with the public's right to transparency.

Some jobs such as Police Officers, I have no qualms with filming while they're in uniform or otherwise on-the-job. But I can also see how a blanket approval could backfire, e.g. some aggrieved person decides to stalk some poor guy who's only job is to center divs on some government website, just because they find out he's a government worker.
