The fuck the high road mentality is what likely motivated the shooter and got us into this mess.
There is no reason to escalate what is already a tense political situation.
It is possible the shooter was outside the perimeter. Based on the videos I have seen on CBS, and here: https://www.survivethenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1720916992_Potential-Trump-Shooter-Reportedly-Found-Dead-on-Shed-Roof-VIDEO-1024x576.jpg
The shooter appeared to be on a roof far away from the stands.
Edit: Confirmed that the shooter was outside the perimeter setup by secret service https://www.cbsnews.com/news/possible-shots-fired-at-trump-rally-in-butler-pennsylvania/
Great analogy and perspective.
The piece was definitely slanted.
Was what the devs did great? No. Does the whole project need to be outcast/abandoned due to what language they use? No. There needs to be nuance with these issues. Open source does not owe individuals anything and that is why it is provided without warranty. On the flip side, individuals can choose not to use it.
We should be promoting open source software and not have infighting when open source software doesn't have much mass market appeal to begin with.
Well it's international airspace and nations can fly whatever they want inside international airspace regardless of the proximity to a nation.
Russians do it to Canada and the United States often but it doesn't make much fanfare because the parties involved handle it professionally

You implied that if we kept New Horizons going, that we would get more Pluto pics. I would love for that to happen however it is physically impossible for New Horizons to turn around to see Pluto. It simply doesn't have enough fuel to negate its over 10,000 mph (16,000 kph for you metric folks) speed relative to the sun and then accelerate to that same speed in the opposite direction.
The only place New Horizons is ever going is beyond our solar system which has tons of cool science involved by studying solar winds near the heliopause but unfortunately no cool pictures. Also, I am not a scientist but I am not sure what data gained from solar winds study would be new compared to what was already provided by Voyager 1 and 2.
If shutting down New Horizons means costs savings that allow a new probe to be sent to orbit either Uranus or Neptune, which haven't been visited in decades, I am all for shutting down New Horizons.
Interesting article. I don't think the linguistic argument used in the OPED is going to sway anyone to support gun control.
I think a lot of the efforts to implement gun control ignore the nature of the US. The country is large and in some areas people can not rely on quick police response or if the police can respond quickly, they can't be trusted to act in good faith.
We certainly need some gun control to prevent those who are mentally ill or previously convicted of violent crimes from owning guns. Even processes for these, if put in place, must be appealable to ensure universal fair treatment. Additionally mandatory wait times would be great as well.
I think bans of X gun because it's scary are non sensical because those bans are not going to win over any gun rights advocates to create a national consensus.
The large majority of gun owners never commit a violent crime and should not be told to give them up because of the actions of a few.
I really wish it had a 3.5mm audio jack. I don't see what companies stand to earn, other than money, when they remove the headphone jack.
I can see why Apple and Samsung removed it because the they can market their own wireless headphones.
Removing the jack only removes capability, it is not like older phones didn't have the capability to connect to Bluetooth headphones
Are globalists and rich people only Jewish though? Not at all.
I think people are really stretching to call it anti-semitic.
I don't like how the song addresses people with welfare but I definitely wouldn't call it racist or anti -semitic. However that's just my own opinion and people can form whatever conclusions they want.
It doesn't make sense while if this data, that would usually require a warrant if not already being sold, is allowed to be collected by companies.
Companies may argue that users consent to this in the terms and conditions of when they start using the product but what about those users that aren't a Google, Facebook or "insert tech corporation here" user? Those users never consented to data collection but their data is being collected just the same.
The issue is not the government buying this data. That is just a symptom of the root cause which is lack of consumer privacy laws.
Why is Ubuntu pushing snaps so hard? Is there objectively a benefit to them apart from Flatpak?
It seems like an odd hill to die on.
If you buy one used that is how you can get around giving Google money.
From a security standpoint it might give you a temporary benefit since all of Google's tracking IDs will be associated with the original owner. On a new phone I figure it's associated with you immediately.
