Worth clarifying that it requires individuals to insert backdoors if told to, it's not a blanket backdoor and frankly I'd be shocked if it held up in the high court.

Nothing ever makes it there though, and it's full of baked in secrecy. I don't use local or US services for anything where privacy is important for that reason.

Good thing Australia doesn't have electronic voting, hey?

The concept of a "social contract" is regularly used to deny rights to prisoners.

It's not necessary, even to address the "paradox of tolerance", it's actively harmful, and it's erroneous anyway (contracts are necessarily consensual[^1], but exceptionally few people get to make a choice about the society they live in)

[^1]: Yes, this criteria invalidates a lot of modern contracts in the US especially around tech, but this is largely a failure of the judicial system. Legislation still makes it clear that contracts must be consensual in the US and other western countries, and it often goes further in that they must be reciprocal.

I had to have a look at the current situation, Gulf of Mexico currently has no fewer than 39 names listed

There is also an ongoing discussion about the executive order. From what I saw it seems to be leaning in favour of adding an official_name:en-US tag if the order gets recognised by a relevant body e.g the US Board of Geographic names. Notably this is not the primary name tag.

That would be illegal in Australia and I have to imagine most functional democracies since it has the potential to link voters to votes and undermine the electoral process.

OSM treats official names as tertiary to signage and local usage. It's also not chiefly American so doesn't have much reason to favour their usage over other countries'.

Mind that you can also have many names for one thing in OSM so it will probably be noted in there somewhere.

My Windows (10) broke Bluetooth in an update over two years ago and the situation has not changed. Never had a problem with Linux on the same machine (dual boot).

If "it just works" was ever true on Windows, those days are behind us.

Any suggestions on where to order lenses from?

From what I've seen, stopping at those markers lines up the wheelchair ramp (at least on the electric trains) with the wheelchair mark on the platform. I don't think they care too much unless there's someone waiting on the mark specifically.

The deal breaker feature I've been waiting for is the ability to play daily podcasts first then serialised podcasts in order. I have this with Podcast Addict and it means I virtually never have to touch the app itself.
