That is excellent. They better be careful or I may become hopeful.

The universal design ideal, is that, an ideal. Hopefully we strike an appropriate balance between different people's needs. I think recognizing that some things are more challenging for some people than others is good. There should be reasonable responsibility to anticipate other's needs and advocacy for one's own needs.

I'll give you my own example as a person with a disability. Have I been late to meetings/appointment "because of my disability"? Sure. I do plan to have enough time to make it work but that doesn't always happens because of unforeseen issues that come up for me that would not for most others. Do I consider that the fault of the others involved? Of course not, let be practical.

On the other hand when possible, which has been 100% of the time since March 2020, I essentially demand virtual meetings now because my computer is the most accessible environment for me in the world and put me on far more even ground as others.

"For the security" is starting to sound a lot like "for the children". I hope this works out better than secure boot. When these new ideas emerge that have, let's call them, "side effects" like disabling ad-blockers or preventing Linux from being installed I am suspicious.

Use DNS filtering. I use NextDNS which has a free tier that meets my needs. You can add popular filter lists and your browser will never even see those ads, trackers etc. Or you can use Vivaldi and Firefox of course. But DNS cuts it off before it even gets to your machine.

I want to argue.... but I can't. You're right.

To be honest I was worried the US would be just too sexist and too racist for it to work but I am pleasantly surprised. Back when Hillary was running, we saw a lot of ugly stuff and I am sure they will try that again but somehow I don't think its is going to work as well at this point in time and with this candidate.

The felon has been throwing out vile crap continuously for years now and I think its impact has worn thin and he is weaker than he was. I feel confidant Harris will be much better equipped to fight back than Clinton was.

"incoherence" so, no change?

I like Proton and I guess this kind of makes sense for them, sort of, but its weird.

Thank you for the insight. I was thinking about the "who answers a phone call" angle but I didn't feel like I could guess well enough to include it.

Better to link to the source: https://apnorc.org/projects/most-say-biden-should-withdraw-from-the-presidential-race/

"The nationwide poll was conducted July 11-15, 2024 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 1,253 adults. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3.8 percentage points."

So I am not saying people do not have doubts, because obviously they do. If they only watch mainstream media and only watched the debate, then it wont be a surprise. But I am not sure this is a very valid poll given the tiny number and that it using landlines at least in part. Who here has a landline?

King Arthur is awesome. I also buy olive oil and einkorn flour from Jovial. Einkorn is in the ancient grain category I guess and I find more digestible than typical flour. It is a bit different tasting and to work with, so its not a straight 1 to 1 replacement however. https://jovialfoods.com/einkorn/flour/

Steven Bannon said it would be good for maga if the felon was assassinated. If Google were not so useless now I could find a link. I heard the clip on a policatal show, probably MeidasTouch
