you're inspiring me with the trackball. i'm on mac for work though, so i have a trackpad between my halves for gestures... maybe one day
Great read. Though, this is an old white man thing to say:
When I was a kid, police officers were our friends. When I was a reporter, they were men who surfed and played in bands when they were younger. They were not out to ruin your day, or your life. They enforced the law with a sound sense of context.
I wonder how his experience would differ if he was a minority.
That is not mutually exclusive
Not to mention US manufacturing is significantly more expensive because we mostly outlaw slave labor. Either way the poors get hurt and the trumpets get to lap up whatever runs down Dolan's leg as a consolation.
Curious for your take on Confederate statues in the US
I mean this puts a bad taste in my mouth for the credibility of the letter:
In an email, North Carolina State Board of Elections spokesman Patrick Gannon told Snopes, "Without access to confidential data, there is no way that anyone could know what this individual claims to know about North Carolina's presidential election. North Carolinians cast secret ballots, and cast vote records and ballot images that could potentially provide this information are confidential in North Carolina. My first step in fact-checking this would be to ask the writer to show his work."
I welcome investigation & would fully believe if this is corroborated and true. I won't believe it until then especially when there are crucial discrepancies in tallies that invalidate some (not all) claims from the letter
The source you linked is referencing the claims that snopes is partially debunking
I mean "didn't care enough" == pay an entire separate dev team to develop for potentially each OS (at least windows probably) in languages unfamiliar to the web team. Then separately maintain that desktop app in perpetuity while the backend changes and drifts. This all for a vanishingly small subset of the userbase that could have used the website with identical functionality. It's a similar issue with mobile apps.
I fully see the appeal of electron apps even if it's not perfectly native feeling. I mean vscode is pretty universally liked n that's electron. Also, it being a web app is a huge boon for anyone needing a code editor in browser.
Perhaps frameworks like Tauri will supplant electron soon enough for better performance and native feel.
You don't like when people tell you what to call them? What?
It's not exactly what you mean, but merely mentioning abstinence evokes abstinence educators in the US for me. Abstinence education is bullshit. What kid needs to be told the only way to avoid STDs is to not have sex? Anyone with a functioning brain knows that. Abstinence educators are by and large Christian fundamentalists who go to schools to lie about sex and try to scare kids out of it.
Somehow I attended a public school which had one of these "educators" come by and preach about the purity of abstinence to my entire class. It was surreal and insulting to our intelligence.
but is it a sphere 🤔
