This is the #Scotus headline at talkingpointsmemo.com. I don't know why it isn't the headline at the NY Times and the Washington Post and everywhere else. It’s certainly accurate. The Supreme Court is granting itself powers not anticipated by the framers, who thought Congress and the executive branch had a role to play.

NYT calls for Joe to quit and says the liar won the debate. As a high school history teacher who teaches debate I call the ediors out for their hypocracy. In order to win a debate, we usually commit the “sin of omission,” not giving certain, valid information that could help our opponent. If we tell an outright lie, we lose all credibility. Outright lying repeatedly is a sign of depravity and lack of moral fiber. The calls should be for trump to drop out not Biden.
The Internet Archive is hiring a Director of Platform Engineering. In my opinion, this is the most crucial and important position we have had open at the company in some time. The right person in this position is not just helpful, but a make or break key between success and merely acceptable levels of technological advance for the archive. It's a non-profit level of pay but the work is world changing.
If you're running GoToSocial from a snapshot build, you can now try this out with the latest snapshot.
While WASM SQLite has been shown to be faster in certain benchmarks, you may not even notice any difference in the performance of your instance. The main reason for the switch is not performance, but the fact that WASM SQLite is a bit easier for us to read and understand, and because it uses the wazero WASM runtime, so it's even more portable than Modernc SQLite, which means we'll be able to offer release builds on a wider range of architecture/os combinations than previously :)
If you're a snapshot user, please let us know if you encounter any database issues while running the latest snapshot, so we can ensure everything works before putting this in a release some time next month or so.
Good thing is that Theia is not a fork of VSCode in the same way that VSCodium is. It is its own IDE from the ground up, but reusing some (OSS) parts from VSCode. While they implemented the VSCode extension API they also implemented their own extension mechanism and aren't dependent on MS marketplace.
I dunno if Theia is good alternative for all uses, esp. if one is programming for .NET it may not be. I think I'll give it a try.
@smallcircles Yup agree with that. Open VSX is a nice solution and I'd love to see it gain traction. I might give it another try too. Used to use Theia a few years ago as an online/remote ide which worked fine but then I stopped when vscode had remote development.
For nearly all of my life, I've known how I was going to die. Not from cancer, or diet, or drink, but by being crushed under a car. I will be mangled and bleed out painfully. The driver, distracted on their phone, will say that I "came out of nowhere". The police and the DA will call it an "accident". There will be no consequences of any kind. Except for my death, of course. [...] https://jwz.org/b/ykV3
@jwz non-cyclists that are confused by activism think that activists are attracted to cycling, when the reality is that becoming a cyclist very quickly radicalizes one into becoming an activist. Nothing crystallizes strong opinions as being frequently threatened with death by at best indifferent and at worst aggressive and antagonistic people.
"Sir, all of the media are talking about how bad Biden was last night and surfacing chatter of replacing him. I think you should do a rally today and say even more than your usual allotment of insane stuff to try to get the focus back on you."
#Trump: All they know is electric. They want electric planes. What happens if the sun isn't shining while you're up in the air?
The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.
