First time around Dems would probably vote Dems 99, GOP 0 and leave every other party blank, but over time people would realise that you can ALSO score your actual favourite (think of all the people that would vote Green if it wasn't a wasted vote) a 99 without hurting the "lesser evil's" chances. Greens 99, Dems 99 and GOP 0 is just as bad for the GOP as Greens blank, Dems 99 and GOP 0. That's the magic of score voting. And people who are really apathetic and refuse to vote because they think all parties are bad could still express an opinion akin to Dems 10, GOP 0, rest empty.

Ranked choice voting probably leads to two-party domination (see Australia or Malta), and even without that caveat it's otherwise suboptimal. Score voting is the way to ensure voting for your favourite comes with no strategic tradeoffs.

Score voting is the real way. Superior to every other method by pretty much every sensible metric

Anyone here know of a good open-source and/or federated platform for music and podcasts? I heard of Funkwhale, but is it usable?

How is Bazzite different to vanilla Fedora?

G doesn't make sense either unless you know it means "ground". It goes both ways

The former Soviet Union, China, Korea and Japan are big exceptions to this though

Let's all buy it from him and just set it to redirect to joinmastodon.org

I get that, but even my .ods files get slightly fucked up when I only ever edit them with LibreOffice. That being said, I'm a staunch supporter and I will always send my text files as .odt and my slideshows as .odp, and I keep donating money in hopes it'll improve in the future (and for fuck's sake, the UI shouldn't be that important, but it is. It might as well be one of the biggest barriers of entry for normies, it's not a good thing that FOSS always looks either outdated or overcomplicated)

I wish range voting can be implemented somewhere so people see its power
