iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yeah, I love our little state

That picture was actually taken at an event hosted by Elizabeth Burrows. I've met her several times. She's great! Definitely deserves a vote. I think she has a good chance of winning, but obviously anything can happen and nothing is set. She's been doing the work, though.

Should've been light rail instead of BRT. I haven't lived there in a long time, but I infer from your post (and how the RTA is run), that they still don't have an app option like pretty much every other system.

Somewhere, someone with a poor connection needs a site to load. They're getting frustrated and wondering why many sites perform worse now than in 2010, when they got their first smartphone. They don't know or care that some very clever people are making JS do things HTML & CSS can do.

You don't want to have two files to make a button, so you use a framework that adds a bunch of files you as the developer don't have to think about, which inserts JS into an operation that could strictly be handled without it. Solving for dev experience over user experience.

Not this overhead. That overhead.

It's a shit show, but better than everywhere else I've lived

The terminology in How Nations Fail, "Extractive" vs "Inclusive" could be helpful for discourse because "extractive" is more of an umbrella term that includes fascism, despots, etc.

Trump obviously not caring about America as much as Mussolini appeared to care about Italy doesn't change the fact that he's carrying out a fascist project.

Seems like a hair-splitting, useless, and possibly wrong distinction. Fascism uses nationalism, and so tries to increase it to make it a better tool for exploitation. That is certainly happening under Trump.

I suspect we have another good week before it's really past peak, but a good storm could make a liar out of me.

I heard in Ohio, EVs have a $200 registration surcharge because they don't pay the fuel tax. But then OH just suspended the fuel tax because Trump. But they didn't suspend the EV surcharge.

What? Why did she change it to the 28th?

I haven't seen that one yet, but I was watching The Rookie the other day, and looked him up because I remembered his brother Randy is a total bigot. He's an "independent" who rides on Air Force One with Trump. I turned it off.

Standard? Yes. Gold? Not so much.

I have to run out for now. Maybe I can pick this back up later. In the meantime, there are a lot of trans people and other marginalized people on this site. Read through what they're saying on these topics. Like, read without responding. I get your logic, but there's more to it.

Because it's not just an issue. It's people. The GOP is attacking actual people. Failing to defend people, let alone affirming the pretense that the attack has some kind of basis in reality, shows disinterest (at best) in the people you want support from.

I couldn't find a seesaw emoji. Did Ginger spell out the words, "always seesaw"?

It's a fundamentally fascist project.

It's to make in-groups and out-groups.

So you don't know what the bus looks like. The sports thing is the tip of a wedge. It's a moral panic about a non-issue, which was made up by fascists. Women and children aren't driving this. The whole point of it is to try to get everyone to agree that some people are less than others.

210

No. Not sure how you could read the thread and get that impression. Username unfortunately doesn't check out. Maybe if a politician you 90% agree with—who is clearly better than the Nazi opponent—threw you or your friends or family under the bus for no reason, you'd have some thoughts on it.

Crazy how that rhymes

Everyone here knows Paxton is worse. That's not what we're talking about.

Records come and records go. But this is one for the ages. The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly is now at a record 3.23°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. This crushes the previous daily record set in 1982 by over 1.14°C. The Climate 8-ball is looking up.

Moderation is good. Mods, not so much. The problem is when they have too much power, like on reddit. Moderation is a power that can be—and often is—wielded to ill effect by bad actors. Propagandists and trolls love to be mods. Moderation should be democratized to the greatest extent possible.

020

Not necessarily a good thing. Reddit subs rely on mods. Little fiefdoms everywhere. Option #1 might get enough of the community feel without the landed gentry. If we want to talk about replacing reddit, let's start with downvotes.

Based on the comments, I'm glad I'm ignorant.

hmm, right. I don't think they do. Looks like they're working with a couple distribution partners that self-publishing authors can use, which should lower the barrier to entry. But they're not competing on that level.

Great reference he ignored when he threw trans people under the bus
