I would need to know what US state [if any] you are registerer to vote in to look up what your primary options were. And how you might have used it best to state an opinion.

In NJ:

We did have the uncommited option (got 9%, nearly the rest to Biden at the time, you could have also written in any other elegable person) However we also had a senate race:

In the democratic primary senator race, the results were (aprox) 9% for Lawrence Hamm 16% for Patricia Campos-Medina 75% for Andy Kim

If you want the US to be less involved with the Netanyahu government Kim was the worse of the three.

And this decision (ie who will be in the senate, driving laws) makes a huge difference in the party wide policy, that is the primary policy Biden (now Harris) is following… Since the president is inherently a centrist roll. (Ie center of those the people elect, this can of course shift left/right/up/down/ect with the electorate)

Is the system perfect no… (but posts on instant runnoff voting, or ranked choice will make the post a book, and they are not yet the system in play, last these systems would really only help reiterate the signal the primaries give… It would be still someone in the center of the electorate at the top… And if we are lucky more parties)

enable for roles with more locked down PCs and tasks the companies hope to automate, and disable on more core mission critical IT…

Ask yourself what this feature is actually useful for. Ignore the concerns of privacy just what can this really do.

Its not really needed for copilot, if it wanted to capture what you were doing it would directly update the internal model, no reason for the slide show of your action.

No besides wasteing disk space this is for:

1. Gaming youtubers to get a screen shot of something when they were not recording
2. Some screen shots of history when searching not better than the file/website preview really
3. Tracking and logging what the end user is doing so when audited by the manager/it they can use it as proof you are not doing it right/are inefficient /should ve fired

By all means a company can disable this in policy im sure, but its for the enterprise not the end user. (and yes stored locally, but if you delete the laptop when they want to inspect it that likely is all the excuse they need)

while not worth reporting, you have become the person in the comic, you are just assuming trump wont win and Biden is the opponent.

Do it in the primary… where the current system expects it… but… there is only 1 or 2 primary candidates in the current style winner takes all scenario we have… and ID say fight for instant runoff elections, but vote for those with a chance until then… Even if you think your state is safe…

Sorry, you will get big changes voting for Trump. becasue too much is already in place to make those types of changes happen. I dont agree with these changes, but to say they are the “same” is a dangerous opinion.

The person at the top is needed to green light policy… those lower down present such policy… While this can seem boring it is important, since while by definition the president will be at the center of their party. If the party you vote for is most interested in vetoing everything of the other party… even if they agree with the law in general, there is no progress.

Of course you must do more than just vote for the least bad president to make the change happen… However if you can’t at least do that you own the results os the OP said.

We are in a winner takes all system, It has limitations, Its very stable with 1, primary party, its possible to have 2 primary parties, its while not impossible, very very hard to have more primary parties.

Sure its possible particularly in a state for a new party to replace an existing one… However most cases of this the new party becomes part of or replaces an existing parties leadership. However if you really want more parties we need something like instant runoff elections, Im very disappointed in how much push back on that has happened where its been attempted. (or a parliamentary system… but i dont see that fitting into the US system)

See I think most on here are Republican Plants, Why simple they seem to not grasp Biden votes with the middle of his party. At the very core a politition thus his position changes with the party…

In many ways this makes him a good if not boring president.

Why, well if you elect people into Congress that generally vote with the Democrats that are alighned diffrently his votes will match.

People complain (including myself) about his non questioning support of Netanyahu, but look at how few members of Congress challenge that? yes Sanders did specifically on the isreal issue… but who else even of the extream left?

but if youbdont like Biden’s position, feel free to vote in more libral people to Congress, particularly if you are in a left leaning state

and remember the alternative to Biden is worse… so I think you are a plant.

Many EU countries have freedom to roam laws to allow access accross undeveloped private property, this includes as you said camping as long as you leave the land as found.

In the US i know of no state allowing such, and the ability of the person traversing the land to sue the owner means the default is no treasspassing signs everywhere. this isnt to say if you were unsure if the land was private and there is no sign/indicator of tresspassing you coulding walk through but that isnt strictly giving you the right to access the land

in western States quite a bit of land is federally owned and behaves more like right to roam, this has made odd cases there is a cheker board patern between two federal land areas and private property and what to do when a hunter says steps over the corner of the private properties between the two public access areas.

Honestly, windows gamers upgrade to windows 11, Linux users stay on Linux, and everyone else is on android/ios and in no hurry to do anything about the laptop collecting dust most of the time.

Companies are also more likely to pay the extended support a year or two and update when the computer is replaced.

Its only on here on the fediverse people have time to complain about windows 11. (well some of the gamers might but more likely due to unstable systems on the newest i9 chips, since you launch steam, discord and a browser and alt tab between them… ignoring the start menu)

i mean if its like most transit in the US they just think busses are useless… My nearest bus stop is just out my window not that i see much need its a infrequent scheduled to no where useful… I think they need to talk about 15min house to riding the bus… not just distance in this case

in many suburbs there are just no sidewalks, and busy multi lane roads… So even if its under a mile away, you can’t walk there.

If you are in and older town, with the old downtown, its not so bad. So most people in east coast cities, and older towns have access to walk into town. There are exceptions accross the contry… However Any Town USA has its stores in a strip mall with a wallmart on a busy strode and no foot access.

But the local goverment can prevent bars in strip malls, on strides with no walking or transit access.

The town needs to make the downtown walkable, and ideally accessable by walking. The rest is just local businesses buying / renting store fronts, may be a local pub, cafe, fruit stand, toy store ect.

Now maybe there is an overlap between what i considered a bar/pub and what those replying are calling a resturaunt since i want something like i have here in Madison NJ: a few pubs to get dinner and a pint 15min walk into town… Yes this is at bar seating because im on my own… But they all have dining rooms, and casual fare with much of the clients being families of all ages just having a meal in town.

Im confused about (from the poll)

• bar… if this is not walkable you are promoting drunk driving. (even if its not your thing)
• what do you need to walk to the gas station for? or is this being used also as a corner store?

I dont understand… the string cheese packages are more than one portion? (i mean of course im only going to have 2… and another 2 in 5mins… [repeat until none left])

It’s a symptom of the winner takes all election system… Its most stable with one or two major parties. The hope for more parties is one reason some of us push for instant runoff elections, but it “confuses” people so its not had the traction I’d like.
