I don't care if they do or not. It should still be the parents' responsibility and if someone should be punished for their children's actions, it should be them.

They aren't. It's easy. There is simply no will.

The technocrats were never concerned.

"and we have to adapt to our so called neighbors representing a more clear and present danger to our nationals welfare than an evil empire on the other side of the world ever was..."

If only maggots had self awareness.

That's why if the system stores EVERYTHING then it should be air gapped, with data batches manually carried from network to network. This can delay responses so some subset of the data will have to be stored elsewhere, but you don't have to put it all in one place. Given how many things already happen during overnight batches this would cause a LOT less inconvenience than most people think.

No, if you'd spoken to these people you'd know they actively like some of the changes he is making. They absolutely want him to harm migrants and refugees. That is absolutely what they voted for, and they are getting it, and they are happy about it. They are immune to facts, like "undocumented immigrants pay more in taxes than it costs to support them" or that "the United States agreed to accept refugees and asylum seekers who may apply for protected status after arriving here". They just want those people harmed because they are stupid enough to have been fooled into believing that the immigrants are trying to steal their cookies while the billionaires wipe crumbs from their chins.

Modern society is a negative sum game in general because it is extractive rather than regenerative. It's based on the extraction of natural resources which cannot be replenished, and the very act of using them destroys other natural resources.

And before that it was "Better Dead than Red"

But they have memories even shorter than their logical abilities are useful.

More like because Cisco and IBM have NSA-sponsored back doors.

We only know for sure this is true of Cisco... But who wouldn't suspect IBM?

In 2012 the phone's eMMC was slower than a good SD card.

Wait, it's 2026 and that's still true.

Did you know that some SD cards have bad random read speeds? It's crazy, but it's true.

If it's like the last presidency, and it's worse in all other things so why not this too, the tax breaks for the poor will wind down but those for the rich will last forever.

Then again, the Democrats didn't fix that shit, we desperately need ranked choice voting in this shithole

This seems to be quite complicated. I have experience labeling maps with QGIS, ArcGIS online, and UMN mapserver, and it's kind of a PITA in all cases. It took me quite a bit of thrashing around with QGIS to come up with a map labeling style which actually checked every box, and never really got there with the others. That is, roughly:

All labels both legible and not obscuring anything
Full names of all visible streets shown
No label is closer to a street it isn't labeling than one which it is
Labels repeat only at useful distances along a street

Sidebar: QGIS is super duper cool, I have come up with a pretty nice map which has got parcels and whatnot when you zoom in, all from public data. As you get closer, more features and data appear. The latest US Census TIGER dataset is a very good practical starting point for this country, but there are lots of other sources.

IME they just don't have street view for those "roads". There's the rub, somehow the street view scanning process where they drive right past those doesn't reveal that they aren't actually there. I mean where you can clearly see a fence across a place they think there's a road, they really ought to be able to fix that. But since most other companies aren't even doing as much verification as google is doing, it's hard to get super mad. The other maps all have the same misfeature.

Sure, I've had the same experience first hand. But if you just google it :) you can see that people have the same complaint about Apple Maps, and every other map system as well including OSM.

Yeah yeah all that stuff is true, except that if you're trying to make a difference in your heating costs using a heat pump and solar, you're going to need battery, because you need heating most when the sun isn't shining.
