A key part of the New York City mayoral races was Ranked Choice Voting.
I'm not seeing many news articles mention this yet (correct me if I'm wrong though!).
Ranked choice let's us vote first for who we actually want.... and then put in backup votes for "good enough" candidates and allows us to compromise and find common ground.
It destroys the concepts of "lesser of two evils" and "throwing away your vote".
I hope we see Ranked Choice voting everywhere.

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".
Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

Die eID schafft die Grundlage für weitreichende Überwachung im Internet.
Der Bundesrat will mit der Revision des VÜPF Schweizer IT-Firmen dazu zwingen eine Identifkation ihrer User durchzuführen. Wer eMail, cloud, VPN, Messenger mit mehr als 5000 Usern anbietet, wird mit dem Vorschlag dazu gezwungen.
Der Bundesrat versucht dies in einer Antwort zu verschleiern. Und genauso will er verschleiern, dass wir uns in Zukunft alltäglich im Internet ausweisen müssen.
Wir wollen das nicht, du auch nicht?
