  • Multiple votes is not why we have secret ballots IRL. Votes during referenda where you don’t vote for one candidate are also secret.

    The purpose of secrecy is to protect from repercussions (ie worker vs boss, person vs family, tenant vs landlord…)

    I’m not being pedantic. It matters here, because your votes can have repercussion if they’re easy to see at all times. I don’t want to be harassed because I downvoted an obsessive tankie.

    Probably because it’s more efficient. GPUs are designed to render things, which editors do. In a text editor, you’re effectively rendering fonts over a fixed background, which I assume is pretty efficient using the GPU.

    We’re not talking about crazy 3D effects here.

    Yay to battery savings!
