To be honest, this doesn't sound like a horrible way to govern.
No political parties, but house and senate approval needed to pass anything.

I agree with this in very large part, although I want to be careful not to read it as dropping the responsibility on individual developers.
It’s perfectly fair to say, “I made something that might help people, so I’m sharing it, but I don’t have the capacity to support everyone who depends on it.” It’s also fair to say, “This thing would really help me, but I don’t have the capacity/ability to take on responsibility for its maintenance just so I can use it.”
No •individual• is in the wrong there. It’s a sign of broken systems and broken society that in such situations we so often cannot muster the collective capacity to support that kind of commons — the kind that exceeds the capacity of any individual maintainer — for the good of all of us.

Chrome prohibits first-class ad blocking extensions.
Chrome now installs a 4GB AI model.
Google is an ad company. They harvest your data.
Use Firefox or else a Chromium fork like Vivaldi.

Boy you can really tell that no iPadOS devs ever test their app with bigger (accessibility) fonts.
Every dev shop should hire me to review.

My latest musical kick is wailing/guitar shredding women, think Janis Joplin, early Melissa Etheridge, Grace Bowers, Ally Venable
Rock/Blues/Southern Rock/etc.
HMU with your suggestions!
Boosts appreciated.
