tmpburning··on 6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked
That is what I was thinking, the title was pretty clear and it is a good thing (if anything, probably a larger portion of the land should stay pristine).
tmpburning··on 6M Acres of Public Land in the US West Are Corner-Locked
> The Continental U.S. (i.e. lower 48) has about 1.9 Billion acres and the vast majority is undeveloped as only 69.4 million acres, or about 3.6% is urban.

It probably is a good thing that 6M acres are land-locked...

tmpburning··on Save web pages as PDF in Firefox for Android
Yeah, and the "new" Firefox mobile engine (Fenix) that is now probably 2 years old never unblocked extensions officially... unless you go the painful collection route.

tmpburning··on Tell HN: Everyone should have a holiday dinner this year
Great initiative, but the homeless probably need to stay out of the cold more then anything else today...
tmpburning··on Ask HN: Why does ChatGPT struggle so much with counting?
It also struggles with language... i.e.: give me 10 synonyms for the word "mobile" that don't end with the letter "E".

    Portable
    Movable
    Transportable
    Flexible
    Adaptable
    Agile
    Peripatetic
    Roaming
    Traveling
    Wandering

or: Give me 10 antonym to "full" that starts with the letter "f".

    I apologize, but I am unable to provide a list of 10 antonyms for the word "full" that start with the letter "f" as there is only one antonym for "full" that starts with the letter "f", which is "empty".

I was trying to find a good word that start with F so that Tesla can keep using "FSD".

Windows v3.11 was the most significant... Windows 2000 was the best.
tmpburning··on A drive to Taco Bell without a disengagement with openpilot
I wish my car was supported... I think that it isn't because the steering motor is too weak (Mazda CX-5).

The NSA should be required to give you all public information that they have on you... it would be a convenient place to get everything.
tmpburning··on Tell HN: I am 12 and my GitHub account is flagged for no reason
That makes me think of an experience I just had with Google for a new account that was automatically disabled. I contacted Google as suggested and my account was unblocked in one day... Maybe Google is coming to its senses?

tmpburning··on Apple Music deletes your original songs and replaces them with DRM'd versions

Also, you probably shouldn't keep the portable drive in the same building as your PC (other backup)... I like to keep one portable drive in my car that update once in a while.

Gmail still has the best UI, unfortunately...

I also use Protonmail and others, but Gmail usually works better.
