That sure sounds like anime loli bullshit.

Use TOTP wherever possible. It's standardized, and typically can be found somewhere if you keep digging hard enough.

Plenty of services push their own proprietary systems hard though. Looking at you M$

Keep in mind that for the way UK elects MPs something like Alternative Vote (or even approval voting, which I prefer) would only help with the problem that only 2 parties have any chance of winning in each particular constituency.

It doesn't get around the issue that '% of constituencies where party X wins the election' and '% of votes cast for party X' are in no way the same thing.

If UK politicians had any sense they'd fix the voting system that let that happen.

Obviously they won't because that same system put them in power and is currently holding far-right at bay, but it would be nice.

I'd say that's slightly off. Most terrorists have no intention of actually ruling the regions they terrorize.

These people are more fascists.

Using reverse proxies is common enough now that quite a few apps can deal with subpaths, and for the ones that can't you can generally get nginx to rewrite the paths for you to make things work.

What genius decided to denote the difference by using three shades of the exact same colour?

Because 1 bar is almost atmospheric pressure. Oddly enough I've never seen anyone use kPa, weather forecasts often use hPa (instead of mbar) to report atmospheric pressure.

Is signal not a viable option? Or can you still not use it without leaking your phone-number?

Put simply you just give every candidate points out of 10 and then elect the one with the highest average.

Approval voting (not acceptance, my mistake), simplifies things a bit by only allowing none or all points. Which is the best if you want to vote tactically anyway.

This method sidesteps a couple of the issues that Arrow's impossibility theorem raises, and is easy enough to understand. Ranked choice is better than first past the post but still has the issue that adding an additional candidate can affect the end result in complex ways.

With approval voting most aspects are easy to understand. Adding or removing candidates trivially has no effect on the rest of the result. And while you can still vote tactically the only real tactic is where you put your cutoff, you should still vote for the option(s) you like best.
