so then it isn't just that the state owns the land, but for all practical purposes the state owns the land and the buildings on it. nobody ever owns any property anymore, and all property is only leased from the state. i don't kno

where are you paying $30 for copilot? i see $20 on the website for the copilot chatbot, and i'm currently paying $10/mo for the vscode addon.

in a simple world, a web browser is a tool that is used by an end-user, and so end-users should be the ones paying for it. whether that's directly as paid software, or indirectly as part of purchasing a device that has the software ins

i think it would be reasonable to legally require websites to classify themselves. if it's illegal to show porn to minors, all a website should have to do to comply with the law is to send a header saying "this is porn" and l

everybody and their dog had a pirated copy of flash back in the day. i'd bet that there were more users of pirated flash back in the flash gaming heyday than there are unity users today.

this is a huge win for accessability. i've re-implemented select in worse and less-accessible ways many times to satisfy some business demand. i'm very excited if this means i don't have to keep doing that.

unfortunately, the only way this is relevant is if we actually price carbon emissions at the rate it costs to capture them. as long as you can emit for free, then switching to renewables is more expensive.
