Being "anti-drugs" can be a positive position of support for drug users and tackling the root of the problem.
Not just "do drugs = bad guy". But actually understanding the problem, and addressing it

I only know how long bald eagles burn for.
How do I convert microwave hours to bald eagle burn time (in number of football games including all dead ball times and the halftime shows)?

And then some kid buys a used raspberry pi or wipes an old computer and circumvents it all anyway.

So these "os reporting age bands" laws are useless then.
Cause either the parents are being responsible, at which point there are many parental tools for network and device control.
Or they aren't being responsible, and the kid can easily bypass it or just buy their own device.

So that means that kids can't buy computers?
Can't buy a cheap used raspberry pi or old laptop/desktop in order to set up as a server?

It works out as O(regex^n)

Illegal: the strap on is unlicense

IDK. It puts them at the forefront of this fight.

If governments successfully prosecute distro maintainers (if they can) for this, then distro maintainers are liable.
And distro maintainers would then have to pursue non-compliant users to cover that liability, or fold.
Which is a huge loss for open source.

Or, there would be a huge legal fight and it turns out that the licence of a distro protects it from its users actions.
Which would be awesome and a massive win. It also makes sense. Nobody is suing an OS maintainer because it was used for a data breach.
And then the governments have to pursue the actual users. Which... is gonna be useless wrt these laws

Yeh, but once they have all the big companies complying then they can go after the little guys.
And if, at any point, a little guy becomes problematic then they can fuck them over with compliance violations.

So yes. Just use services that don't require ages verification.
But once they become large enough or problematic enough, they will get the book thrown at them

I dunno if a "cheap drone" can produce the same magnetic response that a fucking cargo ship can, but it seems extremely unlikely.

And what, you have 2 in the water ahead of you? Is that enough for it to be clear for a cargo ship? They function perfectly all the time and catch every single mine?
What happens when 1 finds a mine? How many extras do you carry? What happens when you run out, "just turn around"?

Drones could probably clear a shipping channel, but at some point and actual ship is going to have to go through it.
And the suez canal was blocked for ages due to 1 ship, even after having been operated for decades. That, except the ship sinks.

Sounds like there needs to be some sort of efficiency department set up

Any trump "I did that" stickers showing up?

 

(not sure where to post this...)

I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn't reveal anything, and npm can't seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code... (https://github.com/basarat/tui)

What the scuff is this world coming to?!
This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs

(Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)

 

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
