"A well-balanced breakfast, being necessary to the health of a free State, the right of the people to keep and use Toasters, shall not be infringed."

Who has the right to keep and use toasters? The people, or the well-balanced breakfast?


>who enjoy the absurd fiction that a lower receiver is a firearm and the entire assembly they attach on top of it is just "gun parts"

It's the ATF and congressional Democrats (who are very much not "gun rights advocates") who created that "absurd fiction".


>everything gets a warning until the app has some minimum count of installs

Unless the devs sign their app


So then the question is, why haven't they?

Because it's a huge pain in the ass to get set up (and requires paying Microsoft and providing them with all sorts of personal information). After initial setup it's not too bad, we have a few signed apps at my current employer.

The Steam userbase would appear to disagree, with the recent reviews being mostly negative reviews (and the user reviews for Overwatch have hovered between mixed and negative for years now). And this doesn't appear to be from review bombing by some specific subset of players, the language breakdown shows reviews ranging from mixed to negative in all major language groups (English, Russian, Chinese, etc.).

No one forced them to migrate GitHub to switch to React. And the atrocious sleep bug in Actions long predates the AI gold rush.

>What's a bigger joke is Microsoft has Azure DevOps which looks like it might be abandoned?

My favorite was trying to figure out how to publish debug symbols with NuGet packages to Azure DevOps artifact feeds. Horrible documentation and I was never able to get it figured out.


>And "leared" -- the (unintentional?) pun made me click.

I assume it's a reference to the "Quality Learing Center" in Minnesota, one of the questionable daycares at the center of the alleged Somali daycare fraud scandal. Ever since some of the expose videos about it came out it's become a meme to say "lear" instead of "learn".


> questionable daycares

If they don't find fraud, is it "questionable"?


Didn't the guy flee the country after posting bail? Doesn't exactly scream "innocent".

I didn’t see that. Is there a source? I saw Minnesota authorities investigated the business and didn’t find evidence of fraud.

I did read there was some amount of fraud in state sponsored care programs but nothing extensive.


If they choose not to look, yes.

And it's taxpayer funded, to boot. I definitely wouldn't be happy as an Austrian if I knew my taxes were going to something like this (meanwhile hobbyists elsewhere do projects like this on their own dime).

Governments have long funded artistic projects. I'm sure some people oppose government funding for the arts, but there's nothing unusual about it. Obviously, not all artists get government funding, but such funding is an established process.

It’s hard to tell how it works as and the link is dead. https://feministhackerspaces.cargo.site/Supporters

However in a brief visit to Vienna I was blown away by the city. It’s amazing, and wish my city had a fraction the arts, sites and budget that Vienna seems to have had for a huge period of time.


Where do you see taxpayer funding? It looks like the hack space has gov funding - but i didn’t see any acknowledgement of grants for this project.

Probably not, generally Western Europe has a very different opinion compared to the US when it comes to funding the arts.

Euros generally understand that taxes aren't purely for what they themselves want to be done.

Why? This is a creative endeavour, which is exactly how tech progresses. The fact that you're not able to understand the links between "tech stuff" and "societal stuff" should ring alarm bells in your head...

The fact you think that when I said nothing of the sort should ring alarm bells in your head...

>Narrower 4x5 and 3x5 dimensions are possible, but would require sacrificing the M, dotted zero, and reduce U/V/Y distinctiveness.

I think 3x5 works well enough:

A year or two ago I had a cashier ring up my zucchini as cucumbers because he apparently couldn't tell the difference. Young guy, looked barely 18. I have no idea if he overcharged or undercharged me as a result, but I didn't care enough to point it out because he seemed like the type who would have needed 20 minutes to figure out how to change it (or would have needed to call down a manager for help) and I didn't want to waste any more of my time (or his).

I've had dates like that

Did it get rung up as a drupe?
