That's kind of a circular logic though; the DNC alienates voters who don't like their blessed candidates. If they didn't do that, and more leftist candidates like Sanders were welcomed, then the "average Democrat" might look a bit different.

Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 by a nearly 3 million vote margin, I don't think you need to feel any regret over your one vote going to someone else you actually wanted to vote for.

Also, even if she'd lost the popular vote too, it ain't the voters fault that the DNC keeps deliberately sabotaging the good candidates in their primaries to give us turds.

I'm not sure what else they would need to do. You can just install Plex or Jellyfin on your Steamdeck right now, and you've got yourself an HTPC. It works great!

What are the missing pieces you're still looking for?

What I've done in the past is to copy the URL of the unavailable video (if it's still accessible via the playlist entry, sometimes it isn't which is annoying) and feed it into the Wayback Machine in the hopes that it got archived at some point. The video stream isn't usually available that way, but at least the page title sometimes is, and then I can search for other versions of it.

I don't even have an EV and I have to see the ads on the chargers because they're in front of the store I'm walking into. So far, I've only noticed that at grocery stores, but it's annoying.

Not to excuse the lack acceptance but understanding it's source is how we can defeat it.

To be clear, I hope you mean defeating the lack of widespread understanding and care for autistics, not "defeating autism", whatever that would entail. I like the way my brain works, and I hope you like yours. The problem is other people being assholes to us.

You don't see how a corporate entity like Google is related to capitalism? What exactly do you think capitalism means?

they only get to use a couple servings out of their 5 gallon non-dairy milk jug

Don't buy so much at one time then? Doesn't seem that difficult a problem to solve, I do it every time my dairy-averse partner stays over for the weekend. Buy an amount that is reasonable for expected usage needs, it's easy. I'm not out here buying a 5 gallon bucket and then whining when my guests haven't drank all of it.

It's not downloadable software, but you might check out WordPress if you haven't recently, it's open source and free (though you do need to host it somewhere).

It used to have kind of a bad reputation for being a horrible hodgepodge of bad editing UI and random plugins that do things in wildly different ways, but the WordPress team has really stepped up their game in the last few years and it's actually very nice now as long as you stay away from the commercial plugins. There's almost always an open source plugin available for anything you'd want to do, but the out of box experience is plenty good for most pages you'd be likely to need.

WordPress has a very nice "block editor" enabled by default these days, which is essentially just their name for a WYSIWYG interface. Use drag and drop to design the pages, and then click a button to see it in a "code editor" that shows the HTML if you'd rather edit that way.

Anyhow, I know it's not exactly what you asked for, but I thought I'd mention it since you did say you are open to something web based.

I feel like that's just a longer way of saying "they all do it, so why bother mentioning it", which is a lot more defeatist than I think we ought to be. Pointing out anti-consumer behavior is worthwhile for more than merely a simple dig.

that's generally how computers work though? Updated OS is more resource intensive and require upgrades

That's not how computers work unless you have an OS that intentionally creates that situation. Devices with Linux on them don't get any slower over the years. Sometimes an old device even gets faster with OS updates because the OS isn't being written by a corporation intent on driving you to new purchases incessantly.
