What is even the grounds for this? You can't call election interference on a private company because of a preference for a candidate. That's like if Harris wanted to sue Fox News for a bias towards Trump. Private companies are allowed to have biases.

It is also completely possible that the supposed preferential treatment may be due to public opinion and news reporting. Kinda like how if you lie a lot, people call you out on it, but that doesn't make it illegal that they don't call out your opponent equally as much.

I would like to see them add something like the VSCode command pallette. That way if I know the name of the tool but can't remember or don't want to go click for it, I just just type the name and fuzzy find it.

They make cheese for that?

100%. I feel like the broad fediverse community is not a fan of generative AI

On Friday, Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh ruled that the proposed Amendment 3 should be removed from the November ballot because it does not specify which specific anti-abortion laws it would repeal. (Advocates say that exact laws for repeal would be determined by future lawsuits.)

Why does a constitutional amendment need to specify what laws it repeals? I don't believe there is any legal merit to that. That would only ever apply to anything within the constitution itself (e.g. 21st US Constitutional Amendment). Any contradictory laws found after the ratification of an amendment would then be declared unconstitutional by the legislature or judicial system and removed that way.

It's all a huge mess... Apple is complying with the RCS spec, but isn't using Google's proprietary encryption method because it's proprietary. Google also won't open the API on Android to allow for 3rd party RCS apps. So until Google decides to abandon their stronghold over the encryption standard and API access, RCS will continue to suck from a privacy standpoint.

Low IQ: it's not a straight line

Medium IQ: it's a geodesic on a sphere, so it is a straight line

High IQ: it's not a straight line

In the US, anytime there is a crash, near miss, or other safety-related issue, the NTSB launches an investigation to determine the cause and ways to mitigate the issue from happening again. They also do this for certain highway accidents. These investigation leads to new rules and procedures that have saved countless lives and is integral to why air travel is as safe as it is today.

I would love to see the NTSB do more investigations into local traffic collisions, or at least delegate to state or local government bodies. I would love for those findings to dictate rules and regulations for safer road design. At this point, the prevalence of terrible road safety is a systemic issue that can and should be addressed by improved road design.

The World Trade Center was destroyed by terrorists, but they built a new one. Not as scary as you think.

Oh, it's possible. So much so that they made a TV show out of it.

 

Since the only way to obtain a WiiU gamepad is to take one from an existing system, this development will help revive old systems without taking from the limited WiiU gamepad market.
