Comment Approval voting (Score 1) 110

What we really need is to move to Approval voting; many prefer ranked choice voting, but I don't believe it's practical on a national scale - Approval is much simpler and achieves the same goal: allowing one to vote for who one wants, without it being a spoiler vote.

Comment Apps (Score 1) 105

I've been using a Linux laptop for a decade, but when the new Air came out recently, I jumped back to Mac even though Dell has a comparable laptop because Preview is better for viewing photos than any of the Linux photo apps. It seems like a minor thing, but since the main thing I do on my laptop is check email, web browse, and manage photos, and thunderbird and chrome are pretty much equal across platforms, photos are the distinguishing item.

On my desktop, there are other apps that make MacOS the winner, despite the fact that each version keeps getting worse. I have my Linux vms for the non-gui services I use though.

I'm constantly have apps completely freeze and having to kill and restart them, and every new version of osx seems to make nfs worse and worse. Very frustrating...
