Putting it in a DB is the easy part.

It’s support in a thousand other systems that deal with addresses that’s the real problem.

For something like a street address, interoperability is a hell of a lot more important than culturally preferred spelling.

What is the future of X.org if all the mainstream distros drop X11 for Wayland?

Any other projects we should know about?

I never minded studying, but always hated writing essays, even though pretty good at it.

How do we train people to think, and validate that they learned, when they can outsource it to a computer?

The author alludes to oral exams, though they have a whole host of other issues.

The YouTube engineers working on advertising are tasked with maximizing revenue, not making the user experience better.

It’s a de-facto monopoly and the only way to get better user experience is through adblock.

Yeah I don’t need to refill my battery in 2 hours, but it’s nice to be able to meaningfully top off between errands to make the most of a small PHEV battery.

So you’re saying he’s guilty of wrongthink?

Now we’re criticizing people for things they didn’t say?

Last I heard something like 98% of new cars/trucks sold in America have automatic.

We’re talking Patreon rules not US law.

No AR, just camera, mike and speakers?

I’ve had top taskbar auto hide since Win95.

MacOS got it right back in 1984 but Windows insisted on doing it wrong like an edgy teen wearing their baseball cap to the side.

It’s the Windows taskbar. They used to let you move it to the top but had to remove that feature to support CoPilot.

I saved up $200 which was a lot of money for a tween in the 1990’s just so we could get the DX2-50 instead of the SX-33.

I played so much DOOM on that old Gateway 2000.

Terrible idea.

Defed over politics and nobody will federate with anybody.

Defed only because the mods can’t control their users from breaking TOS on other communities.

What percentage of Android users actually install FDroid and how many are stuck with monopolistic defaults?

We just had an antitrust trial where Google got spanked for malicious defaults.

Just Google using their monopoly power to crush a competitor.

We need a consumer right to sideload on phones from any app store. Apple pulls the exact same shit.

Don’t forget Broadcom!
