That is the technical reason.

There are plenty of reasons for people to decide to not vote in the election.

• Ever since 2016, the Democrats seem to have run mostly on a plattform of keeping the status quo, Obama ran on “Change”, and managed to change healthcare for the masses with Obamacare. What was the main point in the Democrat campaign in the last election, to an outsider, the answer seems to be “we are not Trump”, which while true, is not interesting or engaging.
• Kamalas stance on Israel/Gaza, this is a stupid reason not to vote, but an important point, it also ties in with the previous point of that the Democrats didn’t seem to have any idea of what direction they would go if they were elected, other than “steady as she goes”.

Had the Democrats found and picked a course with a clear message to of what they were going to do when they won, and dropped the “steady as she goes” attitude, they may have won.

Fair point

What?

It seems pretty resonable for my employer to know where I live…

Here in Sweden, they get all of that info via our personal number which we submit to them when accepting the possition

I am not too worried about heavy machines, they work at scale, but require a lot of infrastructure to keep running.

In an apocalypse, manpower will probably be the number one resource of work available, so basic tools is needed, after we have a source of food, security and shelter, we can start looking at researching/refining better tools, once basic needs are met.

Don’t worry, there is a movement to dig a trench to separate you from the rest of Sweden

I disagree.

Most doomsday preppers won’t really be prepared for a complete fall of society.

Most that I have seen ignore the need for cooperation snd focus on their own individual survival.

That is short term thinking.

Data hoarders are more like private libraries, they can for a long time distribute knowledge and media helping society as a whole.

A doomsday prepper like that, would focus on creating caches of standardized tools, I mean stuff like shovels, hammers, nails, screws, screwdrivers, files, plows, hoes, drills, saws, shoes, and more, so that they could organize a group of people to build a community.

Most preppers seem to just focus on their own survival in the short term, one of the dumbest things I have seen is the “doomsday vehicle” thing, that is just stupid. Get a simple, reliable car, put it in a garage, take it out once every other week for a good drive to keep it fresh, and leave it, that will do far better than any insane custom doomsday car.

Thanks, blocked!

SUVs are far more prone to roll overs than small cars.

You forget another huge thing.

Rip out all the tacky gold fittings that Trump has added all over.

In principle I am against capital punnishment, but based on his deeds, I will not shed a tear for him.

The inscription was “K H”, the plane was searched, the passengers and staff interviewed and nothing more was found

The only complaint I have of 7 was the thick window borders

Why just that guy’s family?

I’ll also put Vista’s bad reputation down to that it was the first version with UAC, which if I recall was set too sensitive, combined with the fact that it was something new and weird for most Windows users at the time and the fact that a lot of software didn’t have time to catch up to add proper compability with the system.

That is correct, I never used ME and Vista at home so I didn’t think to add them.

And as other’s have noted, the opinion on Vista is divided.

2000 was awesome, XP was great, 7 was fantastic, 8 was a good core with a terrible UI, 10 continued the decline, 11 accelerated it.

I had a look at the system, and it is a commercial product, I would imagine that their customers have requested these features.

Since you are a customer, why not request your features to be added as well?

Or, better yet, since you have explained that creating an XMPP/Matrix module as an alternative to email requires no coding, and the plattform is open source, why not just slap it together yourself?

You don’t have to write code to configure Matrix/XMPP.

You do realize that the developers need to write code to configure a Matrix/XMPP module? The module doesn’t just appear out your immagination.

Then it will need to be maintained as security holes are discovered.

Tell me again why developers should spend the time and resources to maintain a feature that at best will have a marginal impact on the userbase, over focusing on the core of the project.

Most people have no idea they exist.

That is my point.

If you write software, and need a way for it communicate with the user outside of the app, implementing email is simple, just about everyone with internet access has an email address and it is free.

XMPP/Matrix is a lot of added work that will only benefit those who:

1. Knows what they are and
2. Has or are willing to set up an account and
3. Care enough about it to do that rather than just using email.

I think you will find that the groups of persons who all three critera fits is vanishingly small.

So, please tell me why a developer should focus their time doing that rather than building the core features of the app.

EDIT:

I write this as someone who has used Jabber/XMPP and Matrix in the past, they are great services and I wish they had a longer reach. This is not a hill for you to die on.

XMPP and Matrix are not near universal.

Most people have no idea about that the hell the first one is, and are even more confused as to why you start talking about a movie when you just complained about email.
