I get the sentiment, but at the same time it feels like a mad waste of resources and energy in a time of climate crisis. These materials and electric power could have gone into sustainable transportation or carbon capture instead of fuelling some corporations monetary gain.

When you get to vote for multiple submissions every 2-3 months, turnout tends to be lower. Probably only people who hold a strong opinion about the topics of the current vote will actually vote.

Yeah that’s pretty much what I meant, sorry if I wasn’t clear.

I just think in order to reduce the resistance against such a change, it might be good to still provide the “old” method with voter registration for anyone who doesn’t want a government ID because of “muh freedoms”.

That way, any normal citizen can just have a government ID and by identifying themselves be able to vote without further registration. Any citizen who doesn’t want an ID can go through a voter registration process, same as today.

They could just make a government ID that is not mandatory. Much like a passport. And whoever holds a passport or a voluntary govt ID is automatically enabled to vote using their ID / passport, but then would still leave the choice of manually registering for voting for those who don’t trust “the government” and don’t want a govt ID

So he’s saying out loud that he wants to stage a military coup?

These quotes go to show how bigger corporations like Valve can still be a helpful, desirable influence in the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) community.

Unfortunately, as far as bigger corporations go, there are very few that are “like Valve”…
