Here is proposal to the boomers from a zoomer. I've paid over 100k in social security in my lifetime. Apparently social security is "not an entitlement(lol)" but you can have it all. Take every cent, but starting tomorrow there are no more checks.
We all grow old. Your situation today may not be the same as tomorrow and you may find your smug self needing social security.

So many far left conspiracy theories in here, blatant false accusations, assertions and wild fallacies.

Candidates drop out, die, or become ineligible in all kinds of ways. Paper is not strictly better and can create costs and complications on the day of the election itself.
Electronic voting is fine. Why can't we just have a printer in the polling booth? I run my ballot, then hit print, then I can manually verify it, and then drop the printed ballot in a box.
Literally the easiest thing to do.
IIRC, last presidential election that was what we did in our county, voted on a machine, got a prinout, verified it, stuck it in the scanner and was done. I think I'm remembering it right?

TIL that Earth crust is pushed down by glaciers, and that when glaciers subsides, the crust swells up a bit over years from the missing weight, pushing away water, slush and sliding glacier even faster.
Hard to fathom how "fluid" our ball of magma really is.
Interesting notion, I'd never come across that before. I've seen many demos of what the Earth could look like with all the ice melted but I'm not sure any of them took what you're describing into account.
> If someone decides that a particular service is neat to host on rented servers I won’t fault them for it.
Neither will I. It is an endeavor worthy of praise.
> And I consider things that you manage on your own to be self-hosted even if you don’t own the hardware it’s running on.
This is where I will disagree and stand fast. If you do not “host” it yourself, you are not “self-hosting”. You might be maintaining it. You might be administrating it. But you are not hosting it.
> You decided to rent a $5 VPS for your email? You’ll still learn things from that even if the server is not in your home.
I agree, and it is certainly something I wish that more people would attempt.
> And I will perfectly agree that it fits the name self-hosted email.
It may be said to be “self-administrated” or “self-maintained”. But it is not “self-hosted”.
> This is where I will disagree and stand fast.
You're welcome to do that but you're wrong as far as the majority of selfhosters are concerned. Spend time on https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/ for more information about how widely people define it.
