Section 230 was foundational to shifting the risk of running social networks. This, good or bad, brought us to where we are.

Once they knock it down, the unintended consequences will be... interesting. 🍿

Christopher Chung (Roddy Ho) is one of those actors who appear to be completely different personalities in real life than their characters. Reminds me of Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa Diaz) or Andre Braugher (Raymond Holt) in Brooklyn 99. Just shows you how skilled they are at what they do.

Looking forward to seeing him in Dr. Who.

Prediction: they've tried it with pretty much every demographic variant they could come up with, except for a mouthy young teenager.

Or Boris Johnson making a comeback (imagine the ratings).

Then again, he'd be better as The Master.

That's the source code for Voyager. If you want to make any changes not supported in the UI, you could change the source, then rebuild the binary for your own device and upload it to your device.

The code, IIRC is based on https://ionic.io/ so changing the icons for the tabbar involve modifying the ionic tab-bar setting: https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/tab-bar.

A works/construction department in a medium-sized town. They had an Excel spreadsheet that had a HUGE number of screens. Anyone wanting to do commercial real-estate construction had to not only fill out these forms, but keep them uptodate and submit the updates at end of each work day.

The thing was HUGE and had lots of interdependent screens, where if you picked an item from a dropdown menu, it unlocked a bunch of other complicated screens or panels, and so forth. Each screen had 30-40 items and fields on it, and there were multiple dozens of screens you had to tab through.

To run it on the jobsite, construction contractors HAD to buy a pen and touchscreen Windows 'tablet' ($$$). The whole thing had been written and maintained by one guy over the course of a few years.

EVERYONE hated it. The guy who had written it wanted to get promoted to management, but nobody else wanted to maintain it so he was stuck.

VW ID.4. Looks like it might be somewhere under the floorboards and above the battery since the smell is strong in the cabin. To get a look, you apparently have to remove the seats.

There's also a full end-to-end metal plate along the under-carriage, presumably to protect the battery from punctures. But it also keeps anything that has fallen inside from dropping to the ground.

Looks like poor design all around. Dealer is quoting $1600 to go on a fishing trip.

Sorry, but this country fully deserves where it ends up.

I shut off all news and social media, stopped checking newspapers, TV, and podcasts, and unsubbed from all politics and news mailing lists and communities. Told family and friends and they're being cool about it.

Dove into 60's detective novels. Anything by Ross Thomas, Donald Westlake, and Lawrence Block. Have stocked up on at least a year's worth of out-of-print epubs. Will reevaluate once they run out. Mixed with a lot of outdoor walks.

It's been glorious.

And they STILL won't let immigrants get full citizanship rights. Guess the birth-rate hasn't gone low enough.
