The more important point where the graph is misleading.

While their market share went down, that says nothing. The market exploded over that period.

Total installs is the thing you want to graph.

Or Monthly Active Users, which has been mostly flat or slightly declining since 2019, the oldest date that Firefox currently lists on their website. Because all sorts of graphs are publicly available on that site.

I’m also certain that I can find data going back further.

I have a better idea than the gallows. Give them a minimum wage job that deals with customers.

A small one bedroom apartment thrown is as well, and no access to their money for a few years. just their minimum wage.

Ranked Choice is an Ordinal voting system that fails Arrow’s Theorem.

In some rare cases, it can produce a result even worse than First Past the Post. There are a bunch of flaws in RCV, because it was invented before mathematical evaluation was as robust as it is these days.

Simulation, and some unfortunate real world examples, show that if you vote in and election with at least three somewhat viable candidates, and keep strategy in mind, you can rate your preferred candidate second and improve their chances of winning.

No voting system should be able to do this. RCV has more flaws in addition to this already game breaking one.

It is literally to have a viable third party under First Past the Post. It boils down to Duverger’s law. Or more broadly Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem

We need to focus on the actual voting system before we can start generating and supporting Third Parties.

Specifically we need a cardinal voting system. It’s literally the only way to gain viable third parties that are not just extensions of the major two.

Sadly it’s too late to get voting reform on any more ballots this year.

But you can still get involved.

The main reason to electroplate things in gold is that corrosion resistance.

The thinner the coating, the better. Mostly because gold isn’t a very good conductor.

Copper is one of the best conductors available. But the corrosion is the problem. It’s nonconductive.

Also a fun fact. Stainless steel is a better conductor than gold. But gold is slightly easier to use in electroplating.

The Lego Movie was done correctly. The Minecraft movie looks to be a dumpster fire of horrible, rushed CGI.

There was a write up from one of the writers who worked on the series.

This was written after he and most of the team left Valve.

Most of them were barely old enough to be fathers. Sure you had a few old guys, but most of the idea men were in their 20s or early 30s.

The Texas way. This lawsuit is pure SLAPP. Texas does not have an anti-SLAPP law, and Musk went judge shopping for this specific asshole.

That “waste product” isn’t just thrown away.

They’re still hydrocarbons. Which are used in other places or burned for fuel… Which isn’t actually all that great for the environment…

Actually, tossing the waste product in a pit might be better, environmentally speaking.

The Factorio dev. I’ve heard he’s a shit person but not dove deeper into it.

Edit; did some looking and yeah, he’s a shitbag. He claimed that Statutory Rape was a SJW term, and that teachers should be able to seduce their students as long as they weren’t violent.

Then he used a dev blog to link to a racist misogynistic jackass, and when called out on it (The guy just wanted a disclaimer on the link) Korvex went on a rant about cancel culture and then tried to defend the misogynistic views, claiming that “maybe there’s a reason why there are so few women coders”
