  • Ah, someone with experience with Solid Explorer. I’m hopeful you might be a power user.

    Long ago, I looked into it, but was dissuaded because the details views therein seemed to waste vertical whitespace. An absurdly small font, close to the bottom of the icon to maximize empty vertical space, was used for details (at least datestamp, I think).

    Is that still the case? Have they added a method to increase the font size of the details without also increasing (or perhaps simultaneously decreasing) the filename’s font’s size? I couldn’t find one when I tried it last.

    If there’s an interview with the creators wherein they extol the virtues of vertical whitespace within an item, or if some reviewer has done that for them, I’d love a link or two to read about it, see what I’m missing.

    I’m sure the functionality is great. It’s the presentation I didn’t like. But perhaps there are unintended consequences of a compact layout…






  • Gerrymandering would only change a state’s electoral college votes meaningfully in one or two states.

    It’s more often an issue of:

    1. Citizen becomes voter via “motor-votor” registration.
    2. Later, state sends postcard asking to confirm voter’s address.
    3. Voter sees postcard, looks like junkmail or fraudulent mail, discards without response.
    4. State, not checking anything else, drops voter from roll.

  • The Palestinian people who are not US citizens do not get a vote at all.

    Here you assume that there are no Palestinian Americans, very racist.

    This is an illogical misinterpretation. Consider a Venn diagram of Palestinians and US Citizens. The intersection is obviously not the empty set. That initial sentence you quoted is describing the set of Palestinians minus said intersection. You even betray your misinterpretation by quoting “Palestinian people who were US citizens” between accusations of racism.

    Much of the rest of your comment similarly falls apart from this illogical misinterpretation.
