Because the system was intentionally designed to make it difficult to get things done. Parties make it easier, and a lot of bad law gets made because of it.

Liberalism•Wisconsin Republicans shut down Gov. Tony Evers' special session on child care fundingEnglish
1·3 years agoI understand wanting to not vote dem because they can’t govern and fail at getting things done in general, but why do people vote for the “we will intentionally make things worse” party? Third party is a better use for every vote, but especially with the Republicans.

Oklahoma•Young voters in U.S. and Oklahoma less likely to vote in 2024 or pick a political side | Oklahoma VoiceEnglish
11·3 years agoThird parties are another side. R and D are awful. Those choices are simply how fast you want to slide into fascism.

H5N1 Avian Influenza•Experts fear mass wipe-out of penguins as Antarctica braces for bird flu
1·3 years agoGeeze. Why can’t the handful of countries that share governance of the cruise lines and Antarctica just tell them no tourist? Absolute failure at every level.

Good thing congress and Joe decided to squash the strike so that workers have to keep issuing unsafe equipment. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure trump would have done the same thing. Sounds like we need something else to happen.

retroNET - Vintage Culture/Websites/Software•The Rise and Fall of the Gopher ProtocolEnglish
4·3 years agoI’m just a hair too young to have dealt with gopher in any meaningful way, I went from bbs days to the web. The changes happened while I was in the military and I heard people talk about the web. Thought it was just bbs with some new terms. Played with gopher and Archie, Jughead, and Veronica after I got far enough in to understand the net just to see what else existed. Really cool to get some historical context on this stuff.

Async, so a few things don’t block. If you have a plugging manager that updates, you can work while it does its thing. Clipboard is set up by default. The big thing was the code itself was refractored so more than just Bram can work on it.
The way I got into using more advanced stuff was https://archive.org/details/viimprovedvim0000oual But other good things are https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=develop.example.beta1139.vimmaster and just reading the docs.
Stack overflow has people ask how do I X with vim, and pretty consistently you’ll discover some new way to do things.
Basically, if you find yourself doing something often, expect that someone else did in the post and made a better way in vim.
Here is a good one to start with. https://medium.com/usevim/vim-101-virtual-editing-661c99c05847
Good to see a bit of action here on something vim related.

How about the thing we care about? A poe++ device we can put our own os on.
