The advantage of SBCs aren’t just the price, it’s the uniformity. Before SBCs made it on the scene, the default response when something doesn’t work was either:

“Well, it works on my 12-year-old Thinkpad”

Or

“Your system sucks, just buy better hardware”

Now there’s a consistent system to build compatibility for and benchmark against that can help the most people, allowing devs to spend time on things other than hardware, and allowing a “how-to” community to flourish, bringing new users into the fold.

The office of the President has a press budget. They could easily give him a dumpster to shit in over at whitehouse.gov, woulda made it harder to grift idiots though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The reason impeachment is even in discussion is because we have a president who would rather burn the country down while blaming the Democrats, than compromise.

Hell, compromise is even the wrong word, they could pass the “Trans ban tax cut deregulation super bill” and he would still veto it out of spite.

Without presidential support or a super majority, Democrats main tools are investigations and impeachments. If anything, that gives them leverage or a shot at getting someone into the Oval Office not obsessed with retribution.

Republicans in both chambers could take a hint and help pass things without the president, but it’s more likely they’re doing the political calculus and coming to the decision that resisting Democrats passing popular bills is the best shot they have at the GE in 2 years ago they can say “See, the blue wave was useless and Democrats can’t govern.”

This isn’t me pre-appologizing for Democrat inaction, it’s the reality of how our political system works - having a simple majority in one of the three beaches of government isn’t free reign to do whatever you want.

FYI, if you alias using someone else’s domain, you fall into the same trap all over again when, say, DDG goes full AI wackjob and now you need to transfer hundreds of email addresses.

The first is a change in engineering culture and engineer mentality. Your job has fundamentally changed. It is no longer to write code, and LLMs are not here to help you write better code faster. Your job is to help the LLM write better code faster.

Emphasis theirs 🤮

SMS messages are broadcast in plain text often through multiple carriers’ networks and I find it impossible to believe they aren’t already processing them for a myriad of things anyways. Hell, 20 years ago they were storing them and including them in your phone bill. This is just one more filter to run them through.

Any tips on a “grocery list” app to replace Keep? Need something that can sync between mine and my wife’s phones - E2EE nice to have but not strictly required.

A lot of the Keep replacements I see posted are just fancy text editors full of markdown formatting junk and I just want a good working checklist that moves checked items away.
