Such a bizarre time in the US, just today folks I grew up with were raided by helicopter/dogs/cops on dirt bikes for growing personal use marijuana in their own home (8 plants). Meanwhile everyone knows marijuana crimes are a comp

It's still appropriate to be skeptical, as there still isn't evidence of a lab leak. Also, the conspiracies touted by trumpers included human engineering of the virus _and_ a leak, they were tied together.

I took the comment about 5g killbot to really mean human engineered, which there is zero evidence of. Reasonable people since COVID happened considered that a leak is possible, but there is no evidence of it, and that the virus is definitel

Having spent some time there myself, I agree with this. The corruption is more than we expect in the US, but not on this level and getting better all the time.

This is pure strain Russian propaganda, nothing you have shared here backs up Putin's claims that NATO is some existential threat to Russia. Everything since the invasion of Georgia has shown Russia to be the aggressor on the world sta

Attitude aside, this is a very good point. Everything trump did should be reviewed at this point. It's sad that plenty of civil servants / folks who have made careers for themselves and worked to improve this country are likely to

GPT probably generates a lot of its programming related answers based on StackOverflow. I wonder what the quality of GPT would be for future developers if SO did retire!

That's true, Combine is a dead technology. Frustrating as I prefer it in a lot of cases to Swift concurrency, but I've been an Rx fan for a decade or so.

If the US knew there were aliens it would have been exposed during the trump admin. Whether you like him or thought he did well or not you must admit he would've trumpeted this from the mountain tops.

As an iOS developer SwiftUI not being a library has been a huge pain, there were major bugs in point releases of iOS 13/14. It has improved a lot but there's still major headaches version to version.

I don't think this is true. Prior to COVID many societies wore masks when sick, and a lot of folks' eyes were opened to the usefulness of doing so during the pandemic. I plan on wearing my n95 out and about when under the weather
