Markdown (.md) could and should be used for simple, somewhat structured text files. It's easy enough to learn, and WYSIWYG editors are abundant as well.

While I agree with the statement that lobbyists are not inherently evil, I will call this out as an overly optimistic statement.

We have cases like Ylva Johannson trying to enforce the use of AI detection algorithms for CSAM after being thoroughly consulted by Thorn, a company that sells such algorithms (who spent $24M on this). Meanwhile, she never met with digital rights lobbyists despite them repeatedly asking for a meeting.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it's not their wealth.

I'd be very interested to see the legal construct they created that allows him to just gift tons of money to his mother for no return.

I remember showing up for tenth grade, looking at the list of assigned classrooms in the first day of the school year. Instead of the usual the digit number, it said "C1". My classmates showed up, and we're just as confused as I was.

The C turned out to be short for "container", which we found in a corner of the school grounds.

That said, being able to quickly go outside in every break was pretty neat. And the school actually did get a second building only a few years later.

I was there, $name. I was there 4 years ago when the strength of men failed.

Genau deshalb heißt das ja auch "arbeitsunfähig" und nicht "krank".

Not American, bit my understanding is that filling taxes in the US is complicated and confusing to the point where most people use paid software to do it. There is an obvious lobby of tax filing software companies keeping it that way.

The official website only links to Google Play for the Android client, even on the fairly "hidden" download page.

Here's the criteria that the score is build on.

From a quick glance, I'd say US is majorly lacking in:

  • Equal opportunity to participate, vote: from felons bring denied voting rights to gerrymandering to Wisconsin votes being worth 4 times as much as California votes in presidential elections die to the EC, there's a lot of fundamental issues here
  • Independence of the judiciary: the supreme court is not independent, and presidential pardons are a mockery of any justice system
