New Zealand switched from FPTP to MMP despite the encumbant parties being like that.

It took years of organising and effort. History here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Reform_Coalition

The vibe in UK reminds me of NZ in the late 80s. It can be done when people really want it.

What do you want those users to be able to do with their accounts?

A CMS like Drupal or Wordpress might be what you want.

It's hard to recommend something when you haven't described the purpose. Having users register accounts is just a means to some end.

This is known as a "false dichotomy" and is very lame.

It's worth a try but don't pin all your hopes on it.

I had a terrible time getting wifi working on my Macbook Pro from about the same year. 2012, I think. It semi-worked but was horrifically unreliable and slow.

In the end I just got a tiny USB wifi dongle and plugged it in, rather than using the internal wifi card.

Fight inflation by arresting the rich, you say... Hmm, I think it's worth a try. 🤪

You might enjoy the book "Climate Leviathan". It's about all that and draws on a lot of history and philosophy.

Creatures of Place is an insight into the wonderful world of Artist as Family: Meg Ulman, Patrick Jones, and their youngest son, Woody. Living on a 1/4-acre section in a small Australian town, Meg and Patrick have designed their property using permaculture principals.

In the early days, trance rarely had vocals or if it did they were just another instrument among many. The idea of trance was to help the dancer get into a certain mental state which is beyond words and having too many vocals tends to pull things down into the concrete and breaks the spell. As everything became more commercialized and mainstream, this was forgotten.
