That's to say nothing for the idea that if the election WERE stolen, it would be an uncharacteristic display of technical competence the likes of which we've never seen from this administration before or since.
The Texas ruling gets applied to California, Texas appeals it, gets a stay to do it anyway pending appeal, California doesn't get the stay because the supreme court ruled that each jurisdiction applies only to itself, and by the time it all gets sorted it's irreversibly one sided and fucked.
No, I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Google's old results were based on click-through determining which results were best. Now that the quality of the average user is lower, so is the quality of the average click-through result.
That's as much response as you're going to get though. You responded in bad faith, so now you're going to talk to yourself if you choose to respond.
There is more to it than that... 20 years ago most of the people on the internet were likely similar to you, so most of their desired results were similar to yours.
Now people on the internet since the early 2000 are a minority compared to the "democratized" flood of users who joined in the mobile crapplication phase and started skewing search results towards simpler, less useful results.
SEO and ads didn't help, but the whole ecosystem broke the model.
He doesn't care if the files, which don't exist, get released, which he could do unilaterally, but he won't, since he doesn't care, because he's not in them, and they're a political hit job by the democrats, or they would be, if they were real, but they aren't.
There's a type of person who associates being number one with being the only thing that has value. When something with less power by their metrics does well by different metrics it's an assault on their worldview. It's the same reason truck drivers get angry at hybrid drivers.
The Switch was also old at launch, and it completely dominates the market to the point where Sony openly reclassified it as "not a competitor" to save face.
Nintendo is an evil, horrible company, but at this point they proved beyond a doubt that, yes... The specs race IS a red herring and the most dollars do NOT care.
I will celebrate anybody who does the right thing when they do the right thing, regardless of their general alignment. That doesn't mean I FORGIVE them the other stuff, but being right is being right, and by that criteria, Fetterman can fuck right off.
You'll notice the vast majority of the complaints and problems people had about systemd went away when it launched into distros and invisibly did everything init did, often times in a better way. They made big improvements WITHOUT crapping all over everyone's legitimate complaints and expected features, and things went fine, to the point where I'd say even most naysayers begrudgingly admit they were overreacting.
Compare that to Wayland, which not only didn't do that, it makes it worse by actively gaslighting power users, mocking them for powerful features in their workflow and demanding they make changes. It's been active and spreading for years, and the complaints people had on DAY ONE are still there.
It didn't work for Mark Shuttleworth when he pushed Unity, and it shouldn't work now. This is not the proprietary Microsoft world where developers can decide they have a new, better way of doing things and take a wrecking ball to the workflows of millions of active users and then scream "my way or the highway". I do not need others to tell me what is good for me. That attitude belongs in the closed software world.
I don't particularly care that 80% of users are on Wayland. It's not relevant - if I cared about what the majority of users were doing, I'd be on Windows. None of that fixes my inability to use Wayland for my daily tasks. I will continue to use X if I have to build it myself and exclusively run outdated desktop environments. I refuse to give up my functionality to add a layer of security that breaks my critical use cases with no option to opt out.
