Police bodycams should make police accountable.

on an often under reported note, police body cams have led to an increase in police brutality as opposed to a reduction.

excellent book on the topic: https://thenewpress.org/books/copaganda/

what is the theoretical file size / project size limit? what happens when the browser crashes?

unfortunately I don't think you are convincing anyone

...or, you know, make something new that improves developer ergonomics. or is that too hard?

You will notice the trust keyword here. Any operation (such as IO) that has an underlying unsafe mechanism (such as the @print builtin that std.stdio.print uses), must be explicitly trusted, as it is inherently impure.

just document the impure operations and stop forcing the programmer to type extra characters.

nope

that is basically how all large companies behave anyway. socialize the losses (bailouts, layoffs, negative economic impacts in the communities they reside, etc.) and privatize the gains.

because Netgear is willing to do what the US wants in regards to its mass surveillance projects.

Greetings Filipinos, its a trap. Do not trust the US. They will exploit your labor and pay you pennies (do those still exist anywhere?). They are selling you a bill of goods. Fire your representatives that are allowing this. No jobs are coming, only higher energy costs, more pollution, more fat cats, and more corporate ownership of your political system. Abort ship.

We're not prisoners of history. We don't have to go back to being serfs for the few people who own all the land, oil, food, energy, data centers, and operating systems. I hope.

Unfortunately, that is the current stage of humanity. We all currently live in a global subscription model for food, housing, safety, etc. No doubt that we will move beyond it eventually, but the current organization of society is kept in place by the owner class which benefits from the current arrangement.

One of the steps for moving beyond it is educating the modern day serfs (our peers) about reality as it is and alternative visions of a future where we are no longer selling our labor to the owner class. It will take generations.

A good book in this topic, Virtue Hoarders by Catherine Liu.

can't wait until this is just completely bypassed and we can ignore Google again.

basically every app is a tab. this is how I run i3wm. full screen tabbed layout. smaller modal windows still appear in their normal smaller windows in front of the current full screen app.

no, it is because of the public perspection of Anthropic holding a principled stance against allowing their software to pull the trigger and kill humans. ChatGPT still has the bigger brand name recognition.

they were having a sale on jock straps.

As usual, the corporations benefiting from supporting war and subverting the rights of everyday citizens is rewarded by massive subsidies by the capitalist state.

Anthropic currently is winning the public sentiment war, but OpenAI is being established as another to-big-to-fail capitalist regime institution.

Nobody believes that.

coming soon to a town near you: indentured servitude.

hopefully they will at least have nice bunk beds in the corporate dorms.

An accidental email revealed the scope of Amazon’s workforce purge. For thousands of cloud professionals, the news hit personally.

Consider the framing today: "Trump is doing all these terrible things, making all of these drastic changes, exploiting the system to his will."

The Dems can no longer use the excuse that the president is handcuffed. Trump 2.0 is showing us what the president can do. The dems consistently use that excuse to prevent popular policies from being enacted. Obama even had a ~6mo super majority where he could have codified abortion rights. But instead they keep it around as an outstanding issue because it is a good fundraising issue.

not google

finally some good news.

humans are perverts. who knew?
