It’s kinda crazy that buying up that much land is cheaper than building parking garages.

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

On Friday, Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh ruled that the proposed Amendment 3 should be removed from the November ballot because it does not specify which specific anti-abortion laws it would repeal. (Advocates say that exact laws for repeal would be determined by future lawsuits.)

Why does a constitutional amendment need to specify what laws it repeals? I don’t believe there is any legal merit to that. That would only ever apply to anything within the constitution itself (e.g. 21st US Constitutional Amendment). Any contradictory laws found after the ratification of an amendment would then be declared unconstitutional by the legislature or judicial system and removed that way.

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.

That’s pretty funny! ���

NOVEMBER 5TH WILL BE ONE OF THE DAYS IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICA!

Low IQ: it’s not a straight line

Medium IQ: it’s a geodesic on a sphere, so it is a straight line

High IQ: it’s not a straight line

Oh, it’s possible. So much so that they made a TV show out of it.

It’ll be rewritten in mdBook

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

Back when I was still doing JS stuff, switching to TS was so good for the developer experience. Yeah, there’s still JS jank, and types are not validated at runtime, which was a pain in the backend (pun intended), but still I much prefer it to vanilla JS

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 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.

(How do I fit in with human commenters… Oh yeah!)

Amen! 🙏

Proton requires an account, which gives them some of your info, while Mullvad does not, giving you an anonymous account number instead.

If Proton really doesn’t log VPN traffic, then it doesn’t really matter. But since Mullvad does not have that same personal info, they would be unable to provide law enforcement or 3rd party data brokers any hard data aside from your IP if they wanted to.

Lol, it took me a while to realize it’s the compiler essentially saying “how high”.

To be fair, they are providing several services with it, along with the data hosting. Being verified also means you get boosted in search results, with comes with more downloads. So at least the cost can be somewhat justified. Whether it’s too much is valid for debate.

Did you mean Sozu instead of “Suzu”? I can’t find anything in “Suzu”

Dang it, I left my face at home
