Of course you should vote, but your vote may be worth as much as 3x less than other people's votes depending on where you live.

"Drowning out" less populated areas with more populated areas is a non-issue that conservatives pretend is a bad thing because it's in their interest to do so. The less popular ideas being drowned out by the more popular ones is fundamentally how democracy is supposed to work. What they really want is to maintain the status quo where some people's votes are worth several times more than others just because they live in a less densely populated region. Land shouldn't vote. Borders shouldn't vote. Corporations shouldn't vote. PEOPLE ARE THE VOTERS.

This shouldn't be opt-out. This is the digital equivalent of some fucking pervert showing up at your window and taking pictures of your TV and then letting a bunch of other perverts pay to find out what you were watching so they can use that info to manipulate you, multiplied by however many millions of TVs they've sold. Even if the punishment for that crime was just a single week in jail, the people responsible should be facing several ~~hundred~~thousand years behind bars when you add it all up.

HA, I hope you're joking. Surely nobody's actually done that, right? ....Riiiight?

Everyone I've spoken to who has a password change rule just changes one character from their previous password. It does NOTHING.

Unusably laggy no matter what instance you use.

You're both right. It's possible to write code that gets linted well in Python, yes, but you're often not working with just your code. If a library doesn't use typing properly, not a lot to be done without a ton more effort.

YT ads will never be unblockable. They legally have to be indicated somehow and people will always write software to detect them. Worst case scenario, you have to download videos you want to watch ahead of time.

Janeway makes the most decisions I disagree with out of any captain. Like for example,

Tap for spoilertrying in futility to save that last member of species 8472 from the Hirogen at the expense of her entire crew's lives. That fucker wanted you all dead and has only given up because it was hunted so long, why did she risk so many lives to save it?

Neither can I, that's why I think that allowing this feature to be used for free apps is purely a malicious move by Google to push people away from sideloading in general.

That's a very legitimate reason! I was talking about free apps, but I failed to mention that in my comment. My bad. Any legit reason for free apps?

What legitimate reason would an app developer have for not wanting to let people install their app from sources other than the play store?
