There's really no reason something like that couldn't exist. A foundation would just have to decide to dedicate the resources to it.

The issue is it would have to gain significant adoption in order for web admins to think to include it. This list here is actually a lot larger than you usually see. It's often just the big 2 or 3.

Modern medicine is amazing. The issue is how much time and effort it takes. As a computer guy I know how annoying it is to track down an intermittent issue. Imagining a doctor having to do that with an unreliable biological blob sounds impossible.

That's why even in countries with socialised and easy access to medical care the chance of getting someone who has the time to actually dig deep into your issue is rare. It mostly just covers the basic and common problems.

AI and automations could bring us into a utopian era where there are 10x more doctors and educators, where all the underfunded and undervalued things that are important to society and our well being are fully explored, but it seems like the we are headed in the opposite direction.

The DNC has a lot of problems and blame to absorb, but at some point we have to look at the electorate. You don't have to read the Sunday newspaper or be politically active to know who is running for president. She had two months to step outside and listen/read almost anything.

She is an ignorant, zero information voter, who is likely just regurgitating what she heard her father or boyfriend say months ago. This is the problem. America is now dominated by zombies with no critical thinking skills who crave being brainwashed by their mobile phones.

I hate to be so negative, but I simply don't see a way out of it. The masses are being controlled more effectively than ever before and I don't see what systemic change could magically appear to change our trajectory.

Fibre is an investment that can be used and upgraded for decades. Starlink is a subscription service forever to a private company.

That... didn't last long. It's a shame as a lot of the communities I subscribe to are there, but I don't have an interest in joining a restrictive instance like theirs. This really highlights the fragility of these self-hosted instances and the platform in general.

The US already has that agreement!

Because the winds are blowing in his favour. Xi (and the rest of the world) have watched Russia take land with little repercussion. The reaction to the invasion of Crimea was mild and allowed for the full on invasion years later. The rules have changed and now leaders are seeing that taking land, which used to be seen as a relic of the past, is back on the menu.

The US and a lot of the west is afraid to get involved and do what needs to be done to stop Putin, and Xi knows that if he waits for the perfect moment Taiwan will be his.

The US is building domestic chip manufacturing in case they lose TSMC, and once it's operational one of the main reasons they consider Taiwan an asset will be gone. Xi likely is hoping the war in Ukraine and Israel will continue and "news fatigue" will render people uninterested in a new conflict. I'm not sure what the final nail will be that makes him move, but a controllable president like Trump getting in is a good bet.

Raise the military spend now. Stop kicking the can. We've helped, sure, but we need to do more.

I just like knowing I could fly a Canadian flag again, or have it's likeness displayed without being confused for a trucker convoy supporter, vaccine denier, or racist.

I don't know what you're talking about. Signal does not use RCS and it is open source.

Android users literally run their lives out of Google Calendar. Think you can share your calendar with a friend from your phone? Think again. It's back to the 10 year old desktop interface for you!

Oh you're not at home at your computer, well, try using the desktop version of Google Calandar on your phone's browser. I dare you.

It would win the "will it fit nicely on a keychain" by a landsline.

However I doubt it would suit OP's needs as the contacts are exposed so durability may be suspect, and seeing as it is generic I doubt the performance is up to his standards.

A 100MB file transfer over MMS? I'm not saying you're lying, but recognize that is highly abnormal and most carriers aren't going to support anything near that high. 100MB would be a huge upgrade for most people over MMS.

Build up the EU military. Kick the US out. Free airbases.

All I want is higher resiliency SD cards. It must be a technology limitation with being unable to fit a good controller in there or something because I would gladly sacrifice speed and capacity for something reliable in a lot of my applications.

Disclaimer: These are obviously over generalizations and don't match all individuals.

Because it's not the age people are against, it's the generation. The boomer generation had some of the most prosperous years in American history and wasted them. The general idea is you're supposed to make the world a better place for the people that come next, and they did the opposite. They cut social systems, defunded education, let public transportation die, outsourced everything, and lined their pockets with investments in oil that are killing the planet.

I won't blame someone for being old, but I will judge them by what they did and supported during their life. And as a whole, the boomers have a lot to answer for.

It's ridiculous that Google has disabled this feature. Even if we assumr it's in preparation for desktop mode, that's still unacceptable. Mirroring is a perfectly valid feature in its own right and it shouldn't be held back by Google's "plans".

It's crazy that my old Android phones from a decade ago could do this and the latest pixel cannot. We have been bleeding hardware features for years.

I'm posting this simply so it can be higher than Brkdncr's ignorant comment.

DisplayPort FTW.

The cat's out of the bag unfortunately. I can download stable or unstable diffusion on my home PC and make it generate all kinds of stuff. It's open source so you can't really stop that knowledge from spreading.

You can however recognize that the majority of people won't do that, and write rules around software that is delivered as a service or for a fee. That would stop 90% of it.

So while regulating GenAI is possible, it's not full fix. GenAI is kind of still the risk.

Thinking of picking up Stray. My GF loves cats and has been waiting for a sale.
