Big tech in the US feels responsible - and has been scolded - for the results of the 2016 election, so this is their mea culpa: to help drive out complacent voters.
Why TF are people using an OS that has ads? Whatever the reason I just dont get it.
Being a C# developer on a code base that is not on .net core, what options are there other than Windows?
on the one hand, this is indeed a shitty precedent. but on the other hand we have a shitty president and government in general.
> this is indeed a shitty precedent Why?
OP: why did you feel the need to editorialize “Windows 10 prompted me to register to vote” into “Windows 10 prompted me to vote”?
Maybe they didn't know there is a difference? I'm from Europe and I didn't. You register to be able to vote? Why isn't every citizen automatically allowed to vote?
You can either go to your local town hall or do it over the internet (tick a few boxes, attach a proof of citizenship and residency in the town / district (for Paris) and they'll send you a confirmation).

Seems that the left wing tech companies are getting nervous.

That sounds like 2016 something went wrong. The voter turnout was low, but not spectacularly low.
The rest of the tech industry was implicated as well, which is even less reasonable, but makes more sense in terms of attempting to drum up political support by coercion: help us, or your employees will know you're helping our opponent.

...because it runs almost all the same apps on computers with decent keyboards and physical F-keys and better processor/GPU options at much lower cost, and can have the ads turned off?
Is this a Mac vs Windows thing?
I feel like OP was implying people should use Linux.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Which is that? First half sounds like iOS, but latter like Android?
I'm not sure how iOS is hostile to adblockers. They have first party support for "content blockers"
Use a different browser, and Apple forces it to use Safari to render, disabling it from doing its own blocking, bans it from having add-ons, and doesn't give it that 'content blocking'.
