I have a mixed opinion on this. One the one hand, I don’t like drugs because of the dependence it’s builds on its users, the harmful medical effects in the long term, and how many people use it while driving or doing other dangerous tasks (for those that cause incapacitation). This isn’t just my opinion for marijuana, but for other drugs such as alcohol and tobacco.

However, I don’t want people who do use it to end up paying massive fines or ending up in jail, because ultimately they are victims. Of course, the reason this isn’t the case for alcohol and tobacco is because of its historical foundation in the US.

So I guess I’m left wondering what is an ideal solution for this problem? My best guess is to decriminalize, but also help improve resources available for treatment of addiction and education of its medical effects.

What is even the grounds for this? You can’t call election interference on a private company because of a preference for a candidate. That’s like if Harris wanted to sue Fox News for a bias towards Trump. Private companies are allowed to have biases.

It is also completely possible that the supposed preferential treatment may be due to public opinion and news reporting. Kinda like how if you lie a lot, people call you out on it, but that doesn’t make it illegal that they don’t call out your opponent equally as much.

I love how this video explains the differences between the voting methods. It’s what made me prefer STAR over RCV.

I would like to see them add something like the VSCode command pallette. That way if I know the name of the tool but can’t remember or don’t want to go click for it, I just just type the name and fuzzy find it.

Or STAR voting. Or anything but FPTP.

They make cheese for that?

100%. I feel like the broad fediverse community is not a fan of generative AI

It’s all a huge mess… Apple is complying with the RCS spec, but isn’t using Google’s proprietary encryption method because it’s proprietary. Google also won’t open the API on Android to allow for 3rd party RCS apps. So until Google decides to abandon their stronghold over the encryption standard and API access, RCS will continue to suck from a privacy standpoint.

We’ll never know

In the US, anytime there is a crash, near miss, or other safety-related issue, the NTSB launches an investigation to determine the cause and ways to mitigate the issue from happening again. They also do this for certain highway accidents. These investigation leads to new rules and procedures that have saved countless lives and is integral to why air travel is as safe as it is today.

I would love to see the NTSB do more investigations into local traffic collisions, or at least delegate to state or local government bodies. I would love for those findings to dictate rules and regulations for safer road design. At this point, the prevalence of terrible road safety is a systemic issue that can and should be addressed by improved road design.

Its not the most sensitive info here, but you shouldn’t censor things using non-opaque markings. It’s pretty trivial to throw the image in an editor, crank up the brightness, and see what’s behind the censor in this case. Just wanna let you know in case you happen to do this to some sensitive info

No idea. I personally didn’t like it. I felt the time based sorting was more accurate for me

I’ve been using McFly to do my history searching. It’s pretty good. I recommend changing the default sort from rank to time though

Then his supporters would also have to drop trousers in support. I support this alternate timeline

Will this be loss?

I ended up finding the CENTRALITE PEARL THERMOSTAT 3157100 used on eBay for about $30. It can either operate from the panel or through ZigBee, no WiFi. It is supported on Zigbee2MQTT. It works really great and I have had no problems with it. You can easily find a manual for it online too.

I’m still new to Japanese, but that looks like it says クツを食べる, which means “I eat shoes”.

I was wondering why it was written in C++, but the FAQ already beat me to it.

Why build a new browser in C++ when safer and more modern languages are available?

Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. The choice of language was not so much a technical decision, but more one of personal convenience. Andreas was most comfortable with C++ when creating SerenityOS, and now we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain.

However, now that Ladybird has forked and become its own independent project, all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives and will be adding a mature successor language to the project in the near future. This process is already quite far along, and prototypes exist in multiple languages.

Glad to see they are open to using safer languages. C/C++ was great for its time, but we really need to move on from them.
