Considering those scanners usually register as keyboards and just do a dumb input "typing" it shouldn't even be hard, lol.

The worst part would probably be picking a barcode scheme where the inputs make sense...

Protest votes are fucking stupid. They accomplish nothing. I will vote to keep trump out of office.

So you are voting in protest to Trump? :D Because that's literally what you described.

The startup is absolutely more stressful for the motor. It's a period of high current that also creates hotspots in the windings and such. It's certainly not great for the motor.

Ah yes because the last ten times they did this it totally didn't backfire and they had everyone else's future in mind while selflessly giving up a lot of their own.

Oh wait...

PayPal did their due diligence and then unfroze the account. Completely normal.

Sorry, no, it's not "completely normal" to freeze an account for weeks without any recourse or communication and then be like "all good I guess".

You could easily break a company doing just that. It really fucking sucks and should never happen.

Regular Fedora is more than stable enough for day to day use. I'd start there and then with use see if it's a good fit.

Quite the irony; somehow not doing anything and getting people killed needlessly and destroying your own nation is an okay path forward, but trying to find a compromise that stops that would cost you your career... I mean, it's not surprising, but also really sad.

Sooo they can bend the law and postpone holding elections, but they cannot bend it to hold peace talks? It's just an excuse.

I may understand "opinionated" differently from you, but the main issue is that when you do want to change something, you can't. Or it's some unsupported hack, or (best case) you flip some hidden configuration variable (that will probably break with the next release).

KDE is well configured from the get go as well, you don't have to change anything and it will work well. But if you do decide that you don't like some of their defaults, you can tweak many aspects of it.

It wouldn't really be an issue if you didn't need an extension for every single basic functionality...

Because of how stupidly opinionated Gnome is I switched to KDE a year or so ago and have been extremely happy with it. And what do you know I don't even need any extensions, because sane stuff like tray icons are builtin.

I do use an extension for distributing windows in custom areas though, and it didn't even break throughout the (I believe) 2 large updates there were since I started using it.

That's what PieFed changes though. You can still track how someone votes, but you can't tie it to a specific profile (without doing some extra analysis and even then you can't be completely sure).

Or, with my suggestion, you could track how that specific account votes, but it would be easy to obfuscate who exactly it is and (hopefully) impossible to track to the user's other identities.

They ask you for all sorts of personal information, which I guess is industry standard, but it’s a third party service

The reason is money laundering / tax evasion laws. There is not really a way to buy crypto anonymously without breaking laws.
