Not sure which part you’re referring to, but in regards to stealing an election, I thought this recent video from Howtown to be really interesting! The US has a surprisingly robust election system and I wish more folks understood how it all works.

I use downpour.com for drm-free audiobooks. They let you straight up download the mb4 files haha it’s awesome.

It’s such a win-win b/c I get to buy audiobooks drm-free and I get to avoid supporting audible which has terrible business practices such as locking authors in exclusive deals.

Also thanks for the ebooks.com recommendation! I was reading this thread specifically to see if anyone knew of a good place online to buy drm-free ebooks :)

This is cool! Also I can’t help but see this as a meme format: “Me, at 7am vs 10pm” lol

Fyi - “Below the fold” is a phrase borrowed from print media, which for digital content simply means anything below the current screen viewport that requires scrolling to access.

I also noticed the reduction in operating temperature, which can help improve energy generation efficiency. Hotter panels produce less energy (generally speaking).

Right but why is this materially different than standard vote-by-mail such that they can challenge it in court?

Wait, vote by email? I never heard of that in US elections.

Dane County Circuit Judge Everett Mitchell issued a temporary injunction that allows voters who self-certify that they can’t read or mark a paper ballot without help to request absentee ballots electronically from local clerks. The voters can then cast their ballots at home using devices that help them read and write independently. They will still be required to mail the ballots back to the clerks or return them in person, the same as any other absentee voter in the state.

Ohh ok, they just receive their ballot by email but after filling it out, it must still be mailed back or dropped off in person.

Ok then why is this a problem? It’s no different than vote by mail, which most people I know have been doing since 2020.

Live fact checking sounds good to me. I’d also like to see a long-form debate so that candidates have enough time to properly discuss each topic. The traditional format seems so outdated and only helpful for creating soundbites.
