I just grabbed it. The dash cam features might possibly be useful on a bike (?). But I tried and tried and couldn’t find the magic zoom level for it to show me the name of the street I’m on, got frustrated, and uninstalled.

I’m not off Google Maps either, but the closest to replacing it for me is Organic Maps, FWIW.

Thanks, I have, but it’s not a replacement for me. I’ll try it again once a year though.

Some combination of things like performance, non distracting presentation, the minimap, multi cursor that works how I like, some plugins I like, no web browser, the way every open buffer is always safe and saved in some cache without necessarily saving to the edited file, the UX for split view across tabs, minimal fuss to get UI text and colors legible for my bad eyesight, etc.

Any thoughts on the alternative I mentioned, DYN, described here?

Approval voting simplifies things but also has limitations because it removes any weight/preference people may have.

Yes, but nowhere near the problems of IRV. If those particular limitations bother you, as I said:

If you want to take on a little complexity for some further improvement, use delegable yes/no voting.

. . . don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I see zero “good” in IRV, for all the reasons outlined in the rant. Its failures are absurd and beyond unacceptable given that there are strictly better and simpler alternatives. Don’t let something shiny and terrible stop you from using something actually quite good.

I’m repeating myself here because a lot of commenters have a misplaced hope for IRV improving things:

Instant runoff voting is terrible and more complicated than people think, and I will never support it. It’s a false improvement whose adoption will discourage meaningful change.

If it’s a single winner election and you want a simple improvement, use approval voting. If you want to take on a little complexity for some further improvement, use delegable yes/no voting. I have one idea for further improvement, if anyone is really interested in voting methods.

Only responding to the IRV portion of your comment, and repeating myself from elsewhere in this thread:

I made my account with them early on. I signed up to subscription content to eventually get around to reading, using that address. I signed up for other services, using that address, where access to that address was my only recovery option. I joined IRL community interest groups with that address.

Then I spent a long time without checking it, and they deactivated the account and I’ve lost all data and messages sent there.

And lost my discord account, too. Even though I have the correct discord credentials, discord decided to lock me out unless I can confirm I still have that tuta email address.

I’m a fan. This is where my library card lives.

As you said, it’s super clean, no BS at all. In this crazy world, that’s a rare pleasure.

I don’t think I saw Xournal++ (AKA Xournalpp) mentioned yet, which has helped me once or twice.

Here in New York City folks were distributing free bagels to the homeless. Out of concern for the food safety aspect of it all, our government helpfully disrupted the work and dumped bleach over the bagels to protect the needy from potentially unsafe food.

When the authorities finished their good work, the hungry folks proceeded to eat bleach-tainted bagels.

Governments don’t need to be red to do awfully stupid awful things.
