You have to do a lot when you get a green card to prove you won't be a burden on the US tax payer. It's a big part of the system and a big part of the anti-immigrant rhetoric

Wow. As someone who just went through this process myself (leaving the US to get a green card via consular processing), I can only hope they hire more people to handle the increased case load. You need a medical exam and there were only 2 p

Sort of amazing that it caused the shift the other way - the internet became centralised, but television (video content) became decentralized

Amazing that the point of this article is that 35MB is small and everything else is bloated

It's not terrible. It's just worse in some areas. Which is of course a worthwhile trade-off for many people. Just... Some people don't really care about the privacy part

FWIW I totally understand the reasons for e2ee and think it's good that options exist for that. Just saying that if you're a user that doesn't care about that, then there are usability trade-offs you're dealing with

Main thing that comes to mind is things like this: - If you lose you phone you lose your messages - If you forget your password you lose your messages - If you switch phone you often lose messages - If you get added to a group you can'

People here like it, but end-to-end encryption is an objectively worse user experience for people that don't care about that feature

I have the originals of both, the screen is much better on the switch 2. Don't have any other similar devices or the OLED version. In the Switch 2 Welcome Tour app they even have demos to highlight the improvement in the screen quality

For me personally this is one of my all time favourite games. It has a lot of charm and humour. It looks like it's a zelda-like game, but because combat is deterministic rather than skill-based, it's really more of a puzzle game

In text generation, LLM language is full of very emphatic phrases. At a surface level it might sound stronger. But as a human reader, it's not necessarily better

I mean. If the cost per use of use is only slightly worse with these cheaper goods, you could just view that as a slight premium for the ability to switch styles every few years. It's also a smaller upfront investment, so taking accoun

Platforms really don't want you to build that. But depends on what platforms your talking about, open ones like bsky and mastodon could allow for something like that

Plenty of great tools for kids to start making games with if they're interested in it! Personally, I think running something on a Raspberry Pi isn't very interesting or inviting as a first thing to play with. Creating a game in Ro

Seems fun, I would've loved for this to be a web app though. Given flash is so tied to the web, it would be fitting if the editor itself worked like that

Ha, I independently set that up for my own coding animations. Not as crazy as faking the whole system time though, that's cool!

Photographers can't take photos of things that don't exist...

One major thing is photoreal use cases, which artists can't really do. A lot of that is deep fakes / scams but there are some real use cases

Web components are a good tool for building literal components (buttons, sliders, etc). From experience, I can say they're not a great tool for building the higher level things you build in a typical web app. The output they produce en

If you read the articles by the matplotlib guy, he's pretty clearly not upset. But he does call out that it could do more harm to someone else.

Agreed, my two sentences should probably be a bit more disconnected to each other. Not a proponent of populism myself, but that is the way I see things moving
