My whole thing here is that this is just as effective of a comment without the todo prefix. Lint the TODO part before merging, then TODO becomes a nice thing you can grep for on your own branch, like a note to yourself.

Like the fact that Obama was following laws passed by congress? https://web.archive.org/web/20141224180231/https://foreignpo...

Obama didn't do anything (other than follow the law at the time): https://web.archive.org/web/20141224180231/https://foreignpo...

Congress cut funding by passing laws[1][2]. In 2011, Obama was just following the law enacted by Congress not his wild ass opinions, which I know is crazy given the current administration. [1] Public Law 101-246 (1990) [2] Public Law 103-23

I think we are reading separate implications from the same statement. I (and others, and Google has not disabused anyone of this when asked), understand that to mean "Gemini always has access to a sliding 72 hour window of all your dat

I wish temperature was a dimension. I believe the Gemini docs even recommend avoiding t=0 to avoid the kinds of spirals the author was talking about with masks.

You have to unencrypt data to process it and as soon as you do that, the right Kernel APIs are enough to see whatever you want -- here the accessibility APIs are probably enough to read any text you would be able to read.

As the article states, "After turning it off, Google will still retain your data for up to 72 hours to "maintain safety and security of Gemini Apps" and allow Gemini to respond contextually."" Which means, AFAICT, i

I'm scared the people who decide how I write Dune config files will see this and think its a good idea. Terrified, really.

What I do not understand is this top-down mandate that people use specific tools. Mandate productivity, mandate quality; the tools will be adopted if they are sharp. But elevating the way work is performed above the work itself? Weird.

DOGE downloaded libraries to assist in data exfiltration, and did exfiltrate data (obtained via the superuser accounts). Suggest reading the complaint: https://whistlebloweraid.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04&#

Am a lawyer, this is an incredibly silly and unlikely thing to suggest for a for-profit company set up on behalf of an even mildly sophisticated party in the USA. Nearly ever such company is "limited" to engage "in any lawful

Be thankful you've never heard of Deel. It's the worst PEO I've ever used, by an extremely wide margin, having used 3 others.

I think the whole argument here is silly, but I do know kitty (terminal) and Calibre (ebook manager) are two rather popular cross platform python desktop apps.

Best Android browser hands down, entirely because of the extension support. I don't know how people use phones with ublock or leechblock. I guess "with less battery life" and "more".
