What is even the grounds for this? You can't call election interference on a private company because of a preference for a candidate. That's like if Harris wanted to sue Fox News for a bias towards Trump. Private companies are allowed to have biases.

It is also completely possible that the supposed preferential treatment may be due to public opinion and news reporting. Kinda like how if you lie a lot, people call you out on it, but that doesn't make it illegal that they don't call out your opponent equally as much.

I love how this video explains the differences between the voting methods. It's what made me prefer STAR over RCV.

I would like to see them add something like the VSCode command pallette. That way if I know the name of the tool but can't remember or don't want to go click for it, I just just type the name and fuzzy find it.

Or STAR voting. Or anything but FPTP.

It's kinda crazy that buying up that much land is cheaper than building parking garages.

100%. I feel like the broad fediverse community is not a fan of generative AI

On Friday, Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh ruled that the proposed Amendment 3 should be removed from the November ballot because it does not specify which specific anti-abortion laws it would repeal. (Advocates say that exact laws for repeal would be determined by future lawsuits.)

Why does a constitutional amendment need to specify what laws it repeals? I don't believe there is any legal merit to that. That would only ever apply to anything within the constitution itself (e.g. 21st US Constitutional Amendment). Any contradictory laws found after the ratification of an amendment would then be declared unconstitutional by the legislature or judicial system and removed that way.

It's all a huge mess... Apple is complying with the RCS spec, but isn't using Google's proprietary encryption method because it's proprietary. Google also won't open the API on Android to allow for 3rd party RCS apps. So until Google decides to abandon their stronghold over the encryption standard and API access, RCS will continue to suck from a privacy standpoint.

That’s pretty funny! ���
