That's why it automatically sets up the old address as an alias to the new. Permanently, if I don't miss my guess (there's no reason it shouldn't).

Lets you take your time updating everything dependent on it, or not bother at all.

Nothing new about this at all. Pay for the business version with your own domain, and it's been possible for as long as I've run things. This is *exactly* the same thing, including using the old address as an alias. They just expanded it to free accounts.

It's not exactly rocket surgery, after all.

I have tried it. It's not really a solution for me.
- good for watching local content

but

- netflix support is a kludge at best, unofficial and no 4k (is the plugin a web browser wrapper?)
- other streamers are in the same boat
- no F1TV support at all

I don't blame kodi, its the streaming services that are the root problem here. But I can't make them support open platforms and I understand why they don't.

The upshot is that picking up a dedicated streaming box seems to be the best solution to get official support from the streaming services. The boxes tend to generally work well with kodi/plex/jellyfin etc to give you a way to play your local content alongside the streamers own apps in a small remote-control friendly manner.

I like the roku and the shield pro -- although both have been adding ads to their home screens. I'll probably pickup an appleTV box next since its still pretty clean. Its bad enough the streaming services themselves are devolving into ad-ridden crap, but as long as the ads are limited to the app itself, and i can delete the app and cancel the service if it goes to far. So far netflix generally just pushes its own content which is fine, and F1 is ad-free unless you count all of f1 as just being a giant sponsor circus.

The point of buying Trumpcoin is to pay a bribe. You just need to remember to communicate what you want in exchange for the purchase, out of band.

It's a really good system, but making it tax-deferred would make it even better. Since the goal is for Trump to end up with all the value, a Trumpcoin's value should be 0 by the time you're required to take distributions. That way, there's effectively no tax on your bribe. Win/win for everyone.

The worst states by almost every measure are GOP run. AL, MS, OK just to drop a few. Dem states are significantly better off on average.

But our problem is, you note correctly, the binary choice we have. Bad actors on both sides know that they will be handed the reins when the other side inevitably fails at something.

Support Ranked Choice Voting so we can have true 3rd party candidates with a chance to win elections.

U.S. representatives excoriated the outcome as further proof of the organization's [WTO's] irrelevance.

I hate this administration's general anti-American attitude, extreme thirst for growing national debt, and overall lawless criminality, but the above quote nevertheless excites me. I wish to subscribe to the aforementioned representatives' newsletter.

If we don't need WTO, then I bet we don't need WIPO. And if we don't need to be a signatory of the WIPO treaty anymore, then we don't need DMCA.

Hey Pedoph-- er I mean-- let me start over.

Hey glorious leader Trump, people are saying you're too chicken to tell Johnson and Thune to repeal DMCA. Surely that's not true. Are you going to let them all get away with calling you chicken?

Sometimes yes. But it's not usually the government itself producing and thus pushing out private enterprise. Usually it's the leader establishing close personal relationships with loyal private businesses, and funneling money their way without bidding or due process. A king picking the winners and losers. This is what Hitler did in the 30s and 40s as he built up his war machine, what the CCP in china does now, and what Trump is doing in the USA right now. In fact Brandon Carr just boasted in front of an audience of thousands how he has used the power of government to get rid of Trump's media critics and helped his friends buy up all the big media companies.

True. The car dealership that sucked up all the other car dealerships in town is the highest sales tax generator in the city, ahead of Home Depot and all the other grocery stores. They have a lot of local political power and influence.

Every transaction with a dealership is a rip off. Even after agreeing on a price they will submit a higher price to the financing company (even if you didn't want financing, because they "can't do that price without financing".
I never buy anything new though anymore. I did lease a new car once, but that also is a no-no. I don't mind fixing high-mileage things as long if I save $40k off the original price.

Is the rise of cheap but powerful embedded processors and the Arduino ecosystem partly to blame? I don't think I've seen very much high-quality and efficient arduino programming done. C++ with lots of unnecessary OOP. As long as there's a watchdog timer to reboot the thing every couple of hours, she'll be right. Ship it. Heck I use micropython for a lot of projects lately. It's very cool but it may not be preparing young developers for the rigors of aerospace development.

And when a company doesn't say they won't share personal information, they share it.

In other words, any company you give personal information to will share it. Whether they say they will or not is irrelevant.

And in other news, the sky is blue, water is wet, and politicians lie.

It takes a lot of time to create GOOD code with LLMs. The first thing it generates might be good, but not good enough to ship. All the happy-path tests and unnecessary string equals checks (like testing that a hard coded message is the exact string we specified... come on now) aren't going to tell you about all the edge cases you missed. It can only generate what you tell it to. There will be bugs.

Yep, this is it. Doing code reviews as a senior engineer for about 7 team members and a few dozen contributors is a lot of work. Doing that all day with 2-3 agents working simultaneously is just as intense. Claude etc keeps telling you that "this is production ready, ship it!" because I/we did a little tuning that fixes some bugs and edge cases. But I find more, and MORE and some other issues, and each time it tells me "now its ready to ship!"
It's like there is an expert level of knowledge there, but you can't assume it's actually utilizing that level at any time. Every time I update a PR with new changes, Github does yet another copilot review and THAT stuff needs to be analyzed..
If I am running 3 agents AND dealing with jr. engineers questions I'm pretty fucking tired by mid-afternoon. Right now in fact, which is why I'm reading slashdot.

You're absolutely right!

Why comment the ads out? Include the pulling and display of ads as part of every program.

If I understand correctly, you can have GitHub do the compile for you as well, so there's not need to bother the programmer with details like including their spamware code in the source code they see.

And once they've proven that the automated compile is more efficient than doing it yourself, why even have the option to do it manually?

You know that's the end game. And you know they're planning to do that in any complier Microsoft has any control over, as well.

It's for your own good, after all.
