I think you’re going to lose a few people with that first number being off by a decimal place, but the substance of what you said is still relevant and gives insight about the Lemmy experience right now.

I want to believe it’ll be hard to find a school that won’t already have at least a small group of people who are already going to not make it an easy “nod and clap” talk.

Well, too late to do anything about it. The candidates are now, as the article says,

“Come November they are going to be choosing between two individuals — Joe Biden and Trump, who is dramatically worse when it comes to making any progress at all on climate,” she said.

That’s it. If we want anything different, we have to look for congressional candidates who will change voting such that 3rd party candidates can be taken seriously, and we have to fill ballots with better choices during primaries. After primaries, in our “first across the finish line” system, it’s all over except for the big tug-of-war between the two parties.

And that takes time. So this year, you’re either voting for Biden in hopes of “best we can do right now,” or literally any other action (including inaction) is giving it over to a worse outcome for our climate goals.

Well, they are doing a pretty good job burning down their own house.

It’s their magnetism.

What if that’s what they expect you’ll do?

I feel like this recent episode of Hidden Brain is a very relevant discussion about this topic.

Only which primaries you can participate in. It doesn’t require you to vote in any particular way in the actual election. The public voter roll will show which primary you participated in, but your vote in the election is secret. So anyone who says they checked and confirmed their vote was counted wrong in the election is full of shit or confused by the public voter roll’s representation of party selection during primaries.

edit 1: I think Texas Standard did a nice job explaining it.

edit 2: The Texas Secretary of State office has a good FAQ, too. Some other interesting points in there that I didn’t know about. Specifically, that signing petitions for candidates also locks you into their party’s primaries (if applicable) for that year.

6. What if I signed a petition for a candidate for a place on the primary ballot?

If a voter signed a candidate’s petition for a place on the primary ballot, that voter is only able to vote in the primary, or participate in the convention, of that candidate’s party during the voting year in which the primary election is held. For example, if a voter signed a Democratic candidate’s petition, that voter is ineligible to vote in the Republican primary or participate in a minor party convention. (§172.026).

7. If I signed a petition for a candidate for nomination in the Libertarian Party or Green Party, can I still vote in a primary election?

No. If a voter signed a candidate’s petition for nomination for the Libertarian Party or Green Party, that voter is ineligible to vote in a primary election or participate in the convention of a different party during the voting year in which the primary election is held. (§§172.026, 141.041).

Hot take? This should have been a major version update.

“Oh.”

Ah, I should have said “from a domain you own or one of their own”.

The use case I’m talking about, which is the use of arbitrary domains, not Proton-provided ones and not domains you own and control.

I see that Simple Login provides aliases from its own domains, but not a way to use an arbitrary domain.

Proton’s address support overview mentions organizational addresses, but clarifies in the same doc that this is referring to a business plan where that whole organization will be using Proton.

Proton’s switching guide discusses forwarding, and it only instructs the user to tell their contacts about the new Proton address, which defeats the purpose of forwarding addresses.

Here is further discussion about the missing functionality.

Meanwhile, Google lets you use up to 99 of your own email addresses from whatever domains they are.

It only requires you to demonstrate you control the address.

Proton, on the other hand, only supports you owning the whole domain, as their only verification is through DNS TXT records.

I do like Proton, and I needed something like it for a forwarding problem with Gmail.

But it actually lacks one bell/whistle that Gmail offers. Both services work to receive mail for forwarding addresses, but, on Gmail, you can also send from your forwarded addresses. Proton will only send from a domain you own. So if you get mail forwarded from my.name@alumni.myuniversity.edu or treasurer@myclub.org, you won’t be able to reply or send from those addresses on Proton. Judging by how long people have been asking for that ability, I doubt Proton intends to ever provide that.

Ooh, good question. I didn’t notice, as I went straight to the paid version.

That was why I ended up choosing something else. I went with NordPass for the slick UI and the sharing management.
