There's an actual response to the issue at hand in that link; man didn't just decide to drop a meme and peace out (though I probably would've assumed that was the case if it wasn't for the edit)
Slightly tangential, but something that really pisses me off is how we had something like this system for elections for mayors and some other local positions.
The Supplementary Vote was used for all combined authority mayoral elections until the Elections Act 2022 abolished it. It was basically the Alternative Vote (Instant Runoff/Ranked Choice Voting) but limited to two choices: the top two candidates who received the most preferences would advance to a runoff which used the second choices. It's similar to the French system but it's all done on the same ballot instead over two separate votes.
The Tories had it in their manifesto to replace it with FPTP, and they did that through the EA2022. I knew they weren't on board with changing parliamentary elections to a better system, but getting rid of (marginally better) established systems says a lot to me about what they think about democracy.

Microsoft Windows was originally called "Wind OS"; the wavy logos from the earlier versions is supposed to be a flag waving in the wind. Consumers kept calling it Windos; eventually Microsoft conceded that the name had stuck and changed it to Windows for 3.1
