Windows will mostly just be a kiosk for Edge.

I think for the vast majority of average users this has been true for a long time.

Meh, that's too much bloat.

Another way to encourage interoperability is to use the government to hold out a carrot in addition to the stick. Through government procurement laws, governments could require any company providing a product or service to the government to not interfere with interoperability. President Lincoln required standard tooling for bullets and rifles during the Civil War, so there’s a long history of requiring this already. If companies don’t want to play nice, they’ll lose out on some lucrative contracts, “but no one forces a tech company to do business with the federal government.”

That's actually a very interesting idea. This benefits the govt as much as anyone else too. It reduces switching costs for govt tech.

The speaker killed his own career by not reaching across the aisle. The only reason gaetz and the magats had any say at that point was because the speaker refused to work with anyone but Republicans.

That wing of the party gets neutered with a handful of Dem votes. You get those by working with the other party.

So gaetz didn't ruin anyone's career. The former speaker ruined it himself. Gaetz ain't that "powerful".

I'd never really thought about this, but I know felons can't vote, but what about if you are in jail awaiting charges? How does that work?

Just getting access to a ballot seems like a challenge. Don't you have to request an absentee ballot in advance? If you are in jail, you don't go to the polls obviously.

Did this guy just screw himself out of a vote?

I've heard someone call it billionaire brain rot. I think at some point you end up with so much money and not enough people telling you no, that it literally changes your brain.

Seems likely.

I literally couldn't pass one for something I needed to access.

I had to switch to the audio thing eventually and it took me multiple tries with that. I should just write a script that uses a fucking bot next time.

This article was all over the god damned map.

You aren't wrong but...

Can you imagine the spectacle of an ancient senator literally taking a stand for something he/she believes in?

That'd be pretty powerful.
