  • They really do want us to use Firefox, don't they?

    There is convenience in being used to a browser, but there is more convenience in not having to deal with ads. That's why I use Firefox on Android.

  • Any good poll accounts for people who won't pick up the phone. Otherwise you might as well not poll.

    As for the 4%, that's why I said it's a bigger number than I'd have picked. There is probably a perfectly reasonable answer as to why it is 4%. I just gave you one example but it's easy to tink of a few other scenario's: poverty, lack of internet availability in rural areas, the exact wording of the polling questions, etc. It's not my poll.

  • That's why you have multiple outlets within a public system, governed by a public institution chosen by those outlets instead of any government. Subsidize those outlets by subscribers regardless of political affiliation.

    There are examples of this system or systems like it working, more or less, in various liberal democracies across the globe. And with across the globe I mean mainly within Europe.

  • It's a bigger number than I'd have picked in a pub quiz, bet there are always people who have medical reasons not to be able to use the internet.

    If you're in a coma or have a severe mental disability you probably won't be on Lemmy.

  • After a certain point money becomes much less of a motivator I find. I could probably make 20-30k more in the US.

    But I live in a MCOL area, family and friends are close, I work only 4 days a week, my job provides me with an electric car off my choice (with private use), I live close to countries I enjoy spending my vacations in, I have affordable healthcare, I have a very solid safety net, decent pension system, public infrastructure is fantastic, I live knowing my fellow citizens enjoy many of those same things, etc.

    I'm not really going to compromise on all that other stuff. The two things I am envious off are space and access to the wilderness.

  • Metal tires and metal roads. Kind of slippery, so we might need to make some sort of ridges to guide our vehicle's direction. Stopping will still be hard, but if we just lock cars together and do it all at once it might be feasible.
