I’m always vimming!

Not because I want to though. It’s because I don’t know how to stop…

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Earth, is in fact, Earth/Plastic, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Earth plus Plastic. Earth is not a planet unto itself, but rather another component of a fully self-correcting paradigm made useful by Plastic and it’s human manufacturers, compromising a full ecosystem defined by Mother Nature.

Other than the fact that I overspent a bit, I don’t regret it. Especially since I live in Florida and didn’t have to deal with the gas shortages due to the hurricanes. As long as you have a reliable means of charging at home (or at work), you are good 95% of the time.

If you do any regular long-range driving, be sure you get one that can support that distance. Public EV chargers can still be hit-or-miss, and that’s the biggest downside in my opinion. They aren’t too frequent, and a lot of times they just don’t work. You also generally need to get an account for each charging network, or else it can be hard to pay or you just pay more. But I can live with that, because it is very much an exceptional part of my driving habits.

What’s up with most lowercase “s” looking like “f”? It’s not all of them too. Take a look at “congrefs”

This is definitely going to be used by election deniers to say “See, they really don’t want fair elections.” I’m not sure I really understand the role of election certification if it has to happen regardless by law. What is to be done in the case of real election interference or fraud?

Edit: Turns out reading the article can help 😅

Judge McBurney wrote that nothing in Georgia law gives county election officials the authority to determine that fraud has occurred or what should be done about it. Instead, he wrote, the law says a county election official’s “concerns about fraud or systemic error are to be noted and shared with the appropriate authorities but they are not a basis for a superintendent to decline to certify.”

For my home server, I use Restic and a cronjob to weekly take snapshots of all my services. It then gets synced to a Backblaze B2 bucket (at $6/TB/mo). It’s pretty neat, only saving the difference between the previous and current snapshot, removes older snapshots, and encrypts everything.

Lmao, there’s a GLaDOS voice. I’m taking that

I’ll take a guy who barely knows Rust over someone who barely knows C/C++ every day of the week (and twice on Sunday)

Libretube still works pretty good if you self-host your own private instance. You still need to use HLS though.

Artist: designs really cool visual for gamers to see before launching

Sony: “Oooo, free ad real-estate!”

That was my interpretation too. Still lawlessness, but for the police.

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 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.

Ooo, that looks fun

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! ���

The World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorists, but they built a new one. Not as scary as you think.
