It's still using the Blink engine, so it only provides an illusion of competition just like all other Chromium-based browsers.

If the web becomes nothing but Chromium, then Google can dictate web standards as they see fit.

And don't count on Apple to save you, either. WebKit's monopoly over browsing on iOS is slowly being eroded by anti-trust rulings. The first browser most people will install when they have a choice is Google Chrome.

Ditching Firefox entirely because of a few missteps by Mozilla is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

That's what I figured after thinking about it, that there had to be some procedural reason for it.

Which, funnily enough, would also qualify the murders as first-degree under Minnesota state law: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185

The suspect faces several charges of second-degree murder.

This baffles me. Looking up your fucking victim's addresses isn't enough evidence of premeditation to qualify for first-degree charges?

And ofc the original paper is paywalled.

It's probably just regurgitating stuff from a paper from 2017 that no one paid attention to.

Which has value in itself, I guess. It's just intellectually dishonest to say the AI came up with the solution.

The order of the person ahead of me was still on screen when I pulled up to order. I took the picture in a bit of a hurry cause I didn't know when the screen was gonna reset.

As a guy who's trying dating again, there's something that keeps coming up that kinda bugs me: talking to women who just put in the bare minimum of effort, expect me to carry the conversation and make all the first moves.

I don't give two shits about traditional gender roles and I'm all about subverting them. However, I think if you're in the same boat but still wanna call yourself a "passenger princess" and expect the guy to do everything, you're kind of a hypocrite.

No validation, in the driver or the updater software.

No validation or automated testing on publish.

No staged rollouts.

Just utterly irresponsible all around.

Not once have I encountered a trans person on a dating app who wasn't 100% transparent about it. Some even asked me after matching, "you're aware that I'm trans, right?" just to be sure.

There's no logical reason to falsely pretend to be cis on a dating app to get matches. If someone's cool about it then it's better to know up front, right? And if they're not, then you probably don't want to waste your time on them.

The "justification" for this app is just bigotry, plain and simple. Fuck TERFs.

(Archive link in case it's changed.)

This article is a surprisingly entertaining read for a few reasons:

  • one or more people who wrote it clearly have very strong opinions about how nuclear weapons should be built
  • the article contains a surprising amount of detail, including stuff that seems like it'd be classified or at least censored
  • due to both of the above, there's a ton of [citation needed] that I doubt will ever be resolved

Being exposed to queer culture doesn't turn you gay, it just tells you that it's an option. That's why conservatives see it as so dangerous.

Over the past couple weeks I've gotten emails from both Senators and a House Rep from the State of Minnesota. All three emails have been concerning the Israel/Palestine conflict, and are worded as replies to a some message I sent them.

I've never set foot in the state, let alone lived there (I'm on the other side of the country). I've never sent messages to any of those members of Congress, and I've never signed any petition giving any group the right to contact Congress about this matter.

I suspect my name and email address might have been used in some sort of astroturfing campaign targeting Congress. Or these might be spam emails impersonating the members of Congress for some reason. I noticed the House rep and one of the Senators is up for re-election this year.

Has anyone else gotten emails like this?

I've tried to send messages back to these people but the forms on their websites require submitting an address in their state/district, so I'm not sure what to do. The From: addresses seem like they might have been faked, or they're no-reply addresses, so I wasn't sure about just replying to the emails.

I also thought about calling their offices but I wasn't sure if this was something important enough to bother their staff about, and they're two hours ahead of me so their offices are closed by the time I get off work anyway.
