Fun fact: did you know the US did not stop the draft after WWII?
The US had national conscription from 1940 until the end of 1972.
They just... kept drafting people. That's how we got the manpower for the Korean War.
And people... largely tolerated it, because until Vietnam, service terms were short, and everyone knew someone who'd served. Plus, it was shit easy to get a deferral. Had a kid? Deferral. In college? Deferral. Work certain jobs? Deferral. Had a medical whatever? Deferral.

@diazona @marialeal I’m sure they asked ChatGPT to come up with a catch phrase and it picked Vivaldis (as pointed out in their response)

@asm @lea @marialeal calling Firefox okay is factually incorrect

@lea @marialeal @asm vivaldi is especially bad because they brand themselves like an open source, privacy focused option, and then deliver nothing but a ui reskin and a disappointing builtin feed reader / mail client
