So are you suggesting that the enforcement of the laws in question, per the article, are actually a cover to suppress something else? If you are you'll need to spell it out for me since what the article covers as criminal seems to fit

Police didn't arrest J.K. Rowling for her tweets about transwomen after the new Scottish law came into force, even when she asked them to. No muddling of the new law just police... Underreach? Or not doing their job? Depends who you as

WhatsApp claims to be end to end encrypted, if the police could crack that encryption we'd all be in trouble, and meta employees extremely bad at their jobs! Most likely your first guess is correct. Encryption means nothing when you ha

The two laws that the article mentions are pretty well explained in it, fairly clear cut in was can be a criminal act under them. Now whether they are fit for purpose in modern contexts or whether they are too broad is another matter, and n

It's different in Britain. If something is reported it has to be looked into. The article covers this. More reporting more investigations.

Muddled laws are a government issue. And the second goes for the people affected by the muddled laws too, who have way more discretion than the police.

Then the title is misleading and clickbaity then. "Government is restricting speech in worrying ways" is the actual story. Or old laws not fit for purpose in modern contexts. But during the police in the title means more clicks be

Pretty sure the police aren't enacting the laws they are obligated to enforce, the government is the ones doing that.

I've still not found anything as easy and complete, feature-wise, as fossil. What is jj trying to solve over git, assuming it's more a replacement for git.

Would imagine it's the initial cost of seeing all that up, and then the cost of maintenance. For me personally, where do you even start?

Excellent write up. I use fossil everyday and it doesn't get enough attention. For me, it's a must have and on the list of programs I install on new machines

Will always upvote fossil. Use it every day. For me, surpasses git in everyway.

I can certainly see the appeal of having neat commits but I tend not to worry about them. On a couple of occasions, with my university writing, having a immutable history helped me figure out, for example, how something had ended up in a fi

This is why I like fossil, it comes with most of the stuff I use built in, and you can deploy it as a website too. Use it for all of my personal projects and used it extensively for coursework at university.

I feel the same about MS Access databases, for databases obviously. Provided you kept within its limitations, and actually used relational models, it was really quick at setting up a database program. I never used VB6 but the workflow sound

I replied to this 3 days ago even though it looks like hours ago now. Either way I've another question, that's similar. If this is a local first app, why not use the sqlite database itself for state management? Powersync themselve

How do you even get into doing this sort of thing? Reverse engineering stuff is hard and all trolling is either really expensive, or old and no longer developed; with a few exceptions, I'm sure.

Why not just use sqlite instead of drift?

Thanks for the explanations, much appreciated. I suppose the options are then: 1. Write everything yourself, time consuming and hard, less likely to lead to these types of vulnerabilities. 2. Import others code, easy and takes no time, can

It's this using sqlite under the hood? You can do similar on the cli with sqlite. I used to love these sort of cli programs, but since discovering (power|nu)shell I just reach for them now.

You can only print, I think, with MS Paint from the CLI. ImageMagick is what you're after if you're working with images from the CLI. No expert though.

Morning built-in I know of. There's COM or pandoc, but you'd need to script that yourself.

To be completely honest I tend to use either powershell or Nushell to query these sorts of files. I do also use sqlite as well when needed.

You can import CSV files into sqlite without a schema, and you can turn of the ability to auto guess a columns data type if needed.

The only thing you can say in the context of the few bleeding edge hardware that isn't supported by Linux is that: 1. The hardware vendors are still not providing support the way they do for windows. 2. The Linux Devs haven't mana
