I did the search for you.

The states with the largest increases in migrant population over the past years are North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, Utah, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Florida. All of these states have a larger increase in migrant population than California, Texas, and Arizona.

Do you think Florida and Texas are flying their migrants to other red states? No, they famously send them to New York and DC, because it's a show. The administration is transporting migrants to red states.

And then, yes, democrats are letting them vote.

The democrats are letting them vote, when voting should be a right for citizens. Itâ(TM)s⦠one of the rights you become a citizen to get; itâ(TM)s one of the rights you lose if you are a convicted felon.

DeSantis and Abbot are doing transports, but not on a massive scale. Those transports are just for show. The administration is doing large scale transporting. Do a search.

Elections are nearly always decided on a less than 10% spread- and the migrants are being intentionally transported to many locations throughout the country, not just the border.

Steve's original intent for the iPhone was no App Store - it was web apps instead. That is still available - you can still add a web page to your iPhone's Home Screen, and it will work and feel a lot like a native app. Apple added a ton of functionality to the mobile browser to get to phone functionality and sensors.

Unfortunately(?) that vision didn't take off, developers wanted to make native apps for the iPhone, so Apple figured out a way to allow it and charged a ridiculous fee. People jumped on-board anyway.

It's really sad to me, because Apple had a thing called "Dashcode" for writing dashboard widgets and iPhone web apps that was really good - but when the app store came along, they killed off Dashcode immediately. I liked that tool.

Local Plex server with all my optical media ripped to it.

The Atari VCS is the best failed console ever. I really like it.

I mean lobbyists are more of a problem over in congress than the executive branch... but yes this is directionally accurate.

I'm super-ultra-extreme MAGA. I wear my MAGA hat backwards while I do deadlifts at the gym, I have 14 children, I watch NASCAR, I think guns are fun to own, and I don't drink Bud Light.

But holy crap are the republicans wrong on this whole "allow the mergers to happen; it's a good thing" mentality.

Big Tech needs to be broken up into a billion small companies all competing and open-sourcing their stuff and making it interoperable. Big Pharma shouldn't exist. Big Food shouldn't exist. Farmers should be able to own their seeds. Blackrock is insane and needs to be blown apart. The military industrial complex would be much better as much smaller companies. Disney is too big and owns too much.

I whole-heartedly believe in capitalism. We don't have capitalism when we have the market burdens of monopolies from all angles, all of which have control over pieces of the government.

My base assumption is this effort is probably compromised and will be ineffective. We need anti-trust to actively do anti-trust things.

I think the App Store is intentionally expensive. It was supposed to be a premium store for things that couldnâ(TM)t be done as web apps and require Appleâ(TM)s support and special blessing. Instead everyone just decided to pay the 30% tax and run everything natively.

This is why Steve Jobs launched the iPhone without native apps. The idea was that all of the apps would be web apps, with offline and persistent storage if needed. Apple released tools (DashCode) to build these iPhone web apps. It was good. It was too early, but it was good.

Honestly I see the web app approach as much better than the native app approach. The walled garden of the App Store is dumb.

That's fine, just don't eat steak.

Is anyone using launchd on Linux? If I recall correctly it's modern like systemd, but primarily in it focused like it should be.

Also, foam fell off the ET due to the vibrations SRBs produce. Just saying.
