Everyones own milage may vary, I’m not going to argue every comment. Good they can use Linux though - my parents never wanted to know anything but be pure users, so I did the same for them and in out case Mac was easier.

I just don’t see the point of slighting any OS when it’s used as an appliance, which - for the most part with family, is its role.

And Linux is?

I want you to tell grandma how to update her video driver. Over the phone.

That’s some serious spin there in the title.

I’m not directing it solely at conservatives - more, the self-entitled status quo. People are weird in that they vote against their interests in fear it’ll get worse, but they ignore that you have to break the grip of the incumbents for any change to happen.

That could take several election cycles to clean house. Politicians have to know that their actions are what they’re being judged on, not their affiliations, and if they don’t work towards those better ends, then they’re out.

Good on you for always trying to choose the best option, and not the one habit suggests.

I think the worst thing we as voters do is expect big changes to stick immediately. I think ultimately, it’s going to be a lot of smaller, necessary changes before we can expect big moves to really make it.

After 50 years voting, I feel it’s our impatience for change that tends to scupper any sort of real change, and return the grasp back to the status quo.

Do what I do - vote them out at every conceivable level of government until they learn to listen (or fear) the public.

Either would be good.

Basically, if you can make things better, stop moaning and at least try.
