If Im reading the GitHub history right, this PR was accepted at age 3 years and 1 day? Guess the cake worked!

So... Same as it's been since the war on terror began in 2001?

Oh, now they can assassinate white people in first world countries, not just drop bombs on weddings in mideast countries. I see. Totally makes all the difference.

(I am feeling very cynical here haha, I get this is a big significant legal precedent for the USA but yeah)

Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat it - and this crazy lady seems doomed to repeat it.

If there's a budget problem and you're spending more than your fair share, negotiate on the budget, don't throw your toys out of the cot and have a temper tantrum and try to leave the most stable military alliance on earth that's the only thing holding Russia and china in check.

(Not an American, not from a NATO country, and not a supporter of Biden in any way, just saying that NATO is a bloody good idea and I'm glad it exists since it seems like the only thing stopping Putin from starting WW3).

I think that's because you're used to hearing dates said that way? Over here in DDMMYY-land, we often would say "20th of May, 2024" and that sounds equally sensical to me tbh

Absolute garbage of a study - participants had no option to select that they were single?! Of course people will say they're in a relationship if there is literally no other option!

Tl;Dr is that matt mullenweg saw that other people were making money from free open source software, and his capitalism boner is trying to fuck everyone over.

He has control over both WPEngines competition and the non-profit Foundation, and is using his Foundation position to try extort his for-profit company's competition. Typical CEO behaviour.

I see you have a couple of straw-men responding to you, so I'll try answer with a real world actual answer from my own lived experience.

I used to know a guy, who I'll call Dave. Dave had some major developmental disabilities, like major major ones. At the time I first met him, my country had a law similar to this one being debated here, and Dave was employed for about half of minimum wage to push a broom around a carpentry workshop. It was the first and only time in his life that he'd ever earned a wage, and there was an unsaid understanding among the crew that Dave was doing would otherwise be a couple minutes work for them. Everyone loved him because he was so happy, and always wanting to help.

Dave was so proud of being part of the team, and he kept the place incredibly tidy, tidier than I've ever seen any other tradie's workshop. (Also - it's important context that over here we have good social safety nets, so Dave didn't need the money to survive, he had government benefits and a full time carer).

Then the law was revoked - suddenly the guy owning the business had to choose between paying Dave or getting a full time qualified apprentice. So he did what he had to do.

There isn't a happy ending to this story. Health and safety meant that you couldn't have an unpaid non-worker running around a workshop, and Dave was never able to come back - even though he'd have been happy to stay unpaid just to be part of the team. And a couple years later, my work happened to take me to a small government -owned townhouse, which turned out to be Dave's. His carer recognised me, but I didn't recognise Dave. He was a sad empty shell of the person I once knew; he'd lost his purpose, his armchair literally had the cartoon-style outline of his body because he was there so often, and I was told he hadn't left the house for more than six months, even for a walk around the block.

It's possible to both protect disadvantaged workers from exploitation, while also giving inducements to businesses so that it's worth hiring people who otherwise wouldn't be hireable. We had that here! And when we lost it, Dave lost his purpose and the only part of his life that had ever given him meaning.

Ah yes, a 650k company for a company making billions.

Proprtionate to my own income, that's like $50 fine. Pathetic.

1. Mayor says the city will stop using tech by the end of 2024.

2. Tech is still operational in April 2024 (8 months before the end of 2024).

3. Breathless expose article showing that the tech is still in use.

4. Profit???

She did the request for her own info because she suspected staff were dragging their heels with her other requests, and the request for her own info proved her suspicions were well-founded.

Asking for information on how a section of government operates should be commended, not discouraged. The government works for the people and their operations should be transparent. Doubly so when they act like they have something to hide.

But, Ive been a staff member who had a bad day and found a customer's legitimate request frustrating - "this is the last thing I needed" - so I have some level of sympathy for the staffers too.

Suuuuuuuuuure. I entirely believe that.

If they can't work out how to use the internet to stream a video, maybe they should be banned from operating cars which rely on remote control video operation once a mile?

Thank you for being a far better person than I, in that you actually give enough of a fuck to remember at least one specific, named person who was murdered in the way I was described.

This is not sarcasm it's a genuine emotional appreciation. I don't have it in me to remember, since all the shit news day in and day out just all blurs together and is too much for me to cope with if I tried to remember, but I'm glad someone is.

In my country we've had these electronic labels for many years, using them was part of my first real job a decade ago. And here they definitely can be updated centrally, and in near real time.

How the hell is it that the RMA has, by all accounts, been the largest single drag on construction in this country and is one of (the many) causes of the housing crisis, yet it can't even prevent literal shit being dumped in our rivers "for years"?

I despair for this country. We're fucked. I'd say bring on the election but whoever gets in, it'll be more of the same.

In the article they proudly report that less experienced devs are "getting much better productivity gains" (by accepting more copilot suggestions).

As a natural-born cynic, I instead would say that maybe: "less experienced devs lack the experience to know why some copilot suggestions have unintended consequences / are a bad design choice".

That's not what this article says. Earliest application was March 5, 2024.

Palworld was released on Jan 18th, 2024, a month and a half beforehand.

So, a corporation fucked a guy over, and when he retaliated using the same method they fucked him over with, he gets punished by the law while nothing happens to them?

Not saying he was right to do what he did but I understand why he'd feel aggrieved by them. And fuck the "rule of law" that so blatantly supports corporations over people.

Using performance enhancing drugs can result in a lifetime ban from the Olympics, with Wikipedia saying it's an "integrity" issue. Aren't we glad that raping a literal child isn't an integrity issue?

The news where I live often calls Olympic winners "sports heroes", I think this person should never be allowed anywhere near an event that might make people label them a hero.

The last thing I want is for Meta to get their slimy tendrils anywhere near this site.

It's not often that I literally gasp IRL at the punchline of a comic.

Don't change anything!
