What... Like the fact when voting during an election, your vote is supposed to be anonymous
The secret ballot is a voting method in which a voter's choices in an election or a referendum is anonymous, forestalling attempts to influence the voter by intimidation, blackmailing, and potential vote buying. The system is one means of achieving the goal of political privacy.
Democracy *IS* mob rule... right?

At some point that is certain to happen. But so what? Humans are not in short supply. Billions more where those came from.In the early days of aviation, it was extremely risky. Passengers and pilots died on a routine basis, and often horrifically. Yet we didn't stop doing it or wring our hands in faux horror and insist that nobody try any more. It's not dangerous any more, so it's easy for us to forget how dangerous the early days of aviation were, from our cushy 21st century perspective.Space travel will be no different. People are going to die.... people who freely signed on board to take that chance.
Yup; I hereby volunteer to be the crash test dummy/spam in a can for their "proving" flight

It should go away soon... Gamers are getting older and this kinda crap is getting less and less traction as the non-gaming geriatrics are kicking the bucket.
Politicians are starting to realise that gamers are a wealthy(ish) demographic, and that it doesn't pay to piss on or off; least they start loosing votes

SystemD is either a SysV init replacement or it's not. If it's not then it shouldn't be PID 1; If it IS then it shouldn't be doing all the crap that it currently does.
