In ranked choice voting systems, single issue parties have a meaningful purpose, they don't need a full platform covering every topic of running a country, they just need to show the major party that gets their preference flow that people support their cause and they need to take note of where those votes came from

Massive first preference vote losses maybe, but the preference flows would still trickle down to two major parties, it always does.

That preference flow data can then be used to shape future legislation to keep voters on their side and even to pull swing voters from the other sides, or at least that's how it is supposed to work when the media isn't actively working against you.

"hey we only won because of votes from this minor single issue party, maybe we should consider our position on that issue"

I've been voting pirate party for years now, though thankfully I am in a country with ranked choice / preference voting so I'm not damaging democracy by voting for a third party, in fact I believe I'm actively helping democracy by using the tools given to me.

In Australia they are now part of the Fusion Party, which combines pro-science, pro-choice, pro-environment and secular minor parties.

You pretty much have to run MYOB in a VM, or possibly via WINE. I keep an older windows laptop around at work for MYOB duties. As far as I know there are no alternatives that have anything near the feature set, or the integration with the ATO and other services that MYOB offers.

These days with it all being cloud based there is some web browser based functionality but in it's current state it is much more limited than it should be.

I'm looking for it too, will let you know if I find it.

Ah yes, the joys of automating everything to the extent that when someone does happen to be a guest in your house that you need to give them a ten minute lecture on how to turn on the lights because "it's all automated" but "you're still working on it"

Most of my top picks have been said already, but none has mentioned Vivy yet.

So. I'll say Vivy

there is some evidence of shadowbanning, where your comment isnt removed and you can still see it, but it is hidden from others.

Yea I have 100tb of these weird Linux ISOs, I have no idea how they even got there either.
