And I went to Venus, to get more...

Their explanation for why it can't be on Android is that the nature of Android push notifications is such that they (the developers) would need to maintain a database of device IDs that could be tied back to physical devices and potentially be used to deanonymize which users received which alerts.

To me, this sounds lazy and like something that could be mitigated with End-To-End encryption.

The cruelty is the point.

Except Bezos is known to be a reptile.

I mean I'm here to do just that.

Do you have a plan to change Democrats?

I can tell you how to change Democrats and not voting for them won't work. You don't have to like it, but we ALL have to live with it. It's not just you and your principles on the line here.

https://runforsomething.net/ or STFU. Literally lives are on the line and being mad at the math doesn't change that or wash the blood off your hands when Republicans literally kill people and destroy lives. Sorry not sorry. Hating me for saying so doesn't make me wrong. Hating Dems for predictably being what they are and doing what they do doesn't mean they're not the ONLY weapon we have to defend ourselves and others against Republicans. That sucks, I hate it, but I'm not going to hurt the world and the people around me by giving into that and making objectively bad decisions and encouraging others to do so. In fact, I'm going to be here to call you out for it.

If you're actually doing something to change Democrats OR have a realistic idea of how to start an actually relevant third party in a country with first past the post voting, you might have a leg to stand on saying that, otherwise seriously STFU, I will die on this hill and come back for more.

EDIT: This is how you change the goddamn Democrats.

Is there a list anywhere of lawmakers and organizations that need to be specifically called out for their hypocrisy? If any of them show up, they should be made to feel unwelcome.

Too many ads lying to me about hot single chromosomes seeking casual synapsis in my area.

I agree with basically everything you said, although I've found more things than just the Gorn in SNW to be cranky about. While TNG era never TRIED to get science and engineering right... they tried WAY harder than SNW, which is saying something and NOT a good something. It's like TNG's attitude was "We know we're goofy, but we DO have technobabble consultants, and we try to link some of what we're doing to real physics and engineering" while SNW is like "We don't even like, bother man... rule of cool in a Hollywood hipstery writer way, we don't really know what we're talking about, nor do we care... hey can we get mocha lattes to the writers room ASAP?" Major pet peeve of mine.

Also, I love Carol Kane as an actress, but she's just Lillian in space, and honestly, I really didn't ever need that. It feels out of place, but shoe horned in anyway.

Certainly, some of my joy in the show also just has to do with it just being better than Discovery (for which I'm like...oh thank god) and just gratitude that at least they're trying to make something LIKE Star Trek.

Lower Decks was a better show. So was The Orville.

There's a world coming in which every appliance and automated system you can imagine will have had it's onboard OS pretzled together by vibe coders. Good coding by real human engineers will be considered a luxury process for high-end products while the masses live their lives in a sea of glitchy, unreliable, deeply insecure, highly networked cheap consumer goods, vacuuming up and reselling every byte of data they can get their claws into. This will be heralded by the tech oligarchs and their pet journalists and politicians as a great and revolutionary stepped forward on the March of Progress.

Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).

So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I've heard it before, but as "Black Boys * * *").

So much cybercrime. All the cybercrime.

 

Title says it all. I'd like to host my own instead of sharing mine and everybody else's schedule with some techbros.

 
 

"They are not being talked to like they are children. We are helping them understand why their strategy is a bad idea," the source said.

Fuuuuuuuck you!

Said a second House Democrat who spoke anonymously: "It doesn't surprise me leadership is very upset. They gave specific instructions not to do that."

Fuuuuuuck you!

 

The goal is actually that I'm able to hook my ticket tracking system (I'm using Zammad) to various ToDo lists I can expose to other people. I'm happy to write middleware to make that work, but I don't want to write a whole ToDo app.

Needs to be able to track multiple lists that can be shared in a granular way (I want to share some lists with some people and other lists with other people).
