throwaway2077··on Drunken-Driving Warning Systems Would Be Required for New Cars Under U.S. Bill
you do get a say because you also impact traffic safety - which is why that system should be installed on bikes as well
throwaway2077··on I'm “still afraid to use spaces in file names” years old
SV echo chamber is on your side here - it is very in vogue to denounce anglocentrism. they were defending hieroglyphs and emoji in variable names in that thread about invisible javascript backdoor a day or two ago if you'd like a recent example
throwaway2077··on Making the dislike count private across YouTube
the writing was on the wall for a while.

this was probably the final nail in the coffin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDcvPf78g1k

go glimpse it in all its glory before it gets memoryholed

throwaway2077··on Richard “Lowtax” Kyanka, creator of Somethingawful, has died
- porn wasn't the defining feature of /b/

- qanon thing originated on another chan and it didn't have a cult following on /pol/, where people generally lost interest in trump pretty early into his presidency and largely denounced him by the end of it, although for very different reasons than everyone else

throwaway2077··on Faced with soaring Ds and Fs, schools are ditching the old way of grading
<title>As Ds and Fs soar, schools ditch inequitable grade systems - Los Angeles Times</title>

and the article itself very much does outline it. I don't want to quote the exact parts where it does touch on it, because I'd end up copypasting a wall of text.

"I want to play pirated games" is a perfectly legitimate reason

>so what (technically) is stopping a true E2E P2P platform?

technically nothing. even email kinda fits the bill if you squint hard enough.

realistically though, the vast majority of population will always gravitate towards streamlined workflow provided by centralized services, and the rest of us are dragged along.

throwaway2077··on ES modules are terrible
that's a shame, I hoped there was going to be a way to do that and it was simply not implemented in node at the time I was looking into it
throwaway2077··on Your users will do what you make easy
I feel your pain, brother. with the encroachment of frameworks and TS into the frontend, things that could be done with 50 lines of straightforward code become 10 files with a build step.

>The internationalist world has produced freedom, security, and prosperity at orders of magnitude beyond what humanity ever experienced before.

- wouldn't be possible without being under the wing of the US

- most of them wouldn't even exist as independent states if they didn't have a nationalist period

all that distaste for nationalism would vanish the moment some tanks had showed up on their borders.

>Nationalism has a horrible track record, creating war and poverty, and the underlying curse, hate - arbitrarily, purposefully created - often by leaders using nationalism for their own power: 'be loyal to the nation, and I am the nation, I make the decisions'. Many, including Churchill, blamed nationalism for WWII (which is why the survivors built the UN and the predecessor of the EU).

every country in both world wars was nationalist. even the USSR had toned down commie stuff for the duration of WWII - which they called "The Great Patriotic War" in defense of "motherland", by the way.

throwaway2077··on ES modules are terrible
no bro, programming is programming and nerd bullshit is nerd bullshit. the arguments I see in favor of ESM over CJS fall into the latter category, at least on the node side of things.
throwaway2077··on ES modules are terrible
question:

  // ...

  if (condition)
  {
    const x = require('../../../hugeFuckingLibraryThatTakesSeveralSecondsToLoadUponColdStart')
    // do something with x
  }

  // ...
assume I don't give a fuck about nerd bullshit and I just want the code to be simple and the program to run fast (which it does when !condition because it doesn't need to load hugeFuckingLibrary), can I replicate this behavior with ESM?
throwaway2077··on Things I would like to 3D print
is that a normal experience in all of the US or only certain states? sounds all kinds of fucked up. the random passerby ratting you out. cops showing up over a handgun, which as far as I know are legal to own in all states unless you're a felon. doesn't sound like land of the free at all.
throwaway2077··on Decline in effectiveness of all three US Covid-19 vaccines over time
well, there's always reddit if enjoy the company of intellectual majority.
