Its a fair point, and well explained. However, I think it implies that illegal immigrants are fine so long as they’re not more criminal than the general population.

Generally if somebody is using crime statistics to argue for more immigration control, they’re probably the kind of person that believes the only acceptable amount of crime for an illegal immigrant to commit is zero crime.

Maybe they had an insurance policy for if a headliner couldn’t attend? In that case definitely easier for the organisers to just cancel and claim

Personally, I do think it’s a useful exercise to decide what your red-lines are when it comes to OS level age verification.

For me: Having a field in a database that could contain my DoB is acceptable. Having a prompt to populate it during first time set up is very concerning. Requiring that data to be validated by a third party is the red line.

If you don’t want to be boiled like a frog, bring a thermometer.

I’d say don’t risk it if you’re not based in the UK.

I have a .uk domain and had to provide proof of residence or something to nominet. I can’t remember the exact process now, but they did temporarily suspend my domain (without warning) until I contacted them.

Maybe gamers aren’t a monolith and the ones adding waifus to Skyrim aren’t the same as the ones criticising DLSS5?

Well now I’m nervous! My first instinct though is that the vast majority of Emacs packages are plain elisp, and Emacs users have a habit of cracking open and tinkering with their packages, so any malicious code ought to be spotted quickly.

With the native compiled modules however, it could be another story…

The change would be using Gitmail as the plumbing, and normalising the creation of user-friendly porcelain on top.

E.g. suppose there is a repo foo/bar hosted by a forgejo instance at myinstance.org/foo/bar. Sending an email to [email protected] (or similar) could automatically create a PR and, conversely, opening a PR could send a patch series to the foo/bar mailing list.

To be honest, I’m starting to drink the Sourcehut coolaid here. We have a distributed method of interacting with repositories: Email.

Don’t get me wrong, the current user experience of email-based patches and discussion isn’t great because it’s too easy to send a badly formatted patch. But if we invested time in making email patches easier to use (e.g. sending them through a web ui for people who prefer github style PRs) then we could skip all the architectural pains of solutions like forgefed.

Yes, and that success largely comes at the cost of neglecting development in every town and city outside of commuting distance from London.

That’s only true in the sense that liking scheme makes you become a language nerd

Honestly, +1 for Nation Builder. Generic isn’t necessarily a problem. It gives space for the gameplay itself to define the game’s identity, rather than its title.

I get that calling command line tools is a bit clunky, but python is always my go-to when shell scripting gets too painful

It takes 60 to pass a cloture motion to actually vote on a bill. This is necessary if somebody in opposition to the bill intends to filibuster. In the modern senate, one can filibuster simply by expressing an intention to filibuster. As such its often the case that a bill with any strong opposition in the senate does require a three fifths majority in favour to pass

Could be a non-native speaker using an LLM to translate with a specific tone

Could this be the party desperately seeking to replace revenue streams as donors abandon them en masse?

MacOS Requirements: 💵💵💵

Debian 13.

Tried open suse, but on my laptop it was slow and loud and the battery would die almost instantly (had to make it hibernate rather than suspend if I wanted it to make it through the night).

Installed Debian 13 and it feels like a new laptop. Not sure what exactly made the difference between the two but I’m not complaining…

Probably not. Same way that increasing employers NI contributions will have led to slower wage growth (its too early to tell for sure I think)
