This is why a single app store on a given device is bad.

i wrote about atproto and why it matters

Sunset, sunrise

In Telemelt, every player runs the emulator locally while peer-to-peer networking keeps state synced between players. The controller can be passed seamlessly, and the controller player is never subject to any network latency.

Claiming that routine immunization requirements for school are an issue of parental rights dehumanizes children. Kids have intrinsic rights just as anyone, and parents are obligated to provide the best care possible for them. That includes providing them with indicated medical interventions.

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

This is perhaps my favorite edit of all time

My latest side project is live! It's an app that holds your hand as you learn your computer's command line. Currently Mac only, Windows soon chuckdries.itch.io/command-line...

CLI cookbook update: the first recipe is feature complete! It now handles optional arguments and spaces in paths. Next major steps are writing documentation, setting up installers and distribution, then more recipes!

I’ve been cooking on a new side project recently, and I’m really excited about it! It’s called Command Line Cookbook. It’s meant to be sort of like training wheels for the terminal, for people who are relatively computer literate but may not be comfortable in a text environment yet

🎉 Happy 30-month anniversary to Container Queries – in every browser since Feb, 2023. It was supposed to be impossible, but here we are! Why 2.5 years? Nothing will change tomorrow, but Baseline uses this milestone to signal confidence a feature has gained "wide" support. youtu.be/bhHV0rQ3-CQ

In urban policy, it is considered bad for someone to be rent-burdened (spending at least 30% of their income on rent). But Cuomo's newly proposed law would *require* that people be rent-burdened. Absolutely insane.

Media critic Jay Rosen says journalists' regular fact checks are overmatched by today’s political lies. What’s needed now, he says, are “reality rejection checks” as Trump and his supporters deny established facts. My Q&A with ‪@jayrosen.bsky.social‬ in this week’s free Stop the Presses newsletter.

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

(hitman places little taxidermied squirrel with a bomb in it on the forest floor) EXCELLENT work, 47. tomorrow morning the owls of ga’hoole will have a new legend to tell

we’ve already got 2 more scientists whose work was cited and misrepresented in the replies to this post, less than 24h after our story went up… scientists if you were cited in the new doe report would love to hear from you! my contact info in bio

I guess they answered “what it’s like to be a teen right now” clearly, if unintentionally

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

Global emissions from heating are about 4x those from cooling. Air conditioning is an important and lifesaving adaptation to climate change. Decarbonize the grid.

On Wednesday evening, developers began to notice their games were being unceremoniously delisted or outright removed from Itch.io. Itch's founder says it's the direct result of a financial censorship campaign from Collective Shout, an org with ties to anti-porn groups www.wired.com/story/steam-...

Excellent piece articulating how the provisions of the Trump Administration's Gold Standard Standard will be weaponized to weaken the role of science in policy, given the long history of use of these tactics by political and industry actors. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Fascinating survey data on the missing Biden voters by Lake Research. The voters who sat out in '24 weren't looking for a centrist or turned off by trans rights. They want a genuine economic populist agenda: take on corporate greed, lower costs, and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

A lot of people are sharing and replying to this without understanding that this isn't just rogue ICE agents or something, a federal prosecutor went out and actually got them indicted for conspiracy to impede federal law enforcement. this is not just arresting them!

Fireworks, spectators, and the Hawthorne bridge on Ektachrome

Quite pleased to have such good photos of myself! Normally I’m behind the camera so this is a rare treat

We went downtown to watch the fireworks tonight, but we ended up setting up on the wrong side of the bridge, so all my photos are of the bridge and people on the bridge watching the fireworks. At first I was disappointed, but honestly the perspective is kinda nice

Wish vscode had tab groups tbh

"There’s plenty to explore in the theme of Free Will versus Determinism. Am I able to prevent myself from puking on the Hurl Cannon? Or am I destined to puke on the Hurl Cannon? But this question is never fully developed. The events just happen."

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

I feel like Schumer throwing trans people under the bus by suggesting their rights are a “distraction” really needs to be seen especially since even that dipshit had the good sense to at least delete it:

More roses on 4x5 #cinestill400D #largeformat #bloomscroll

Cinestill 400D from the rose garden this morning #bloomscroll

I haven’t had a chimichanga in years

!!!! "In a previously unreported development, federal agents came to suspect that Bukele and members of his inner circle had diverted U.S. aid funds to the (MS-13) gang..."

Can’t stop won’t stop roseposting #bloomscroll (Portra 160 with the GX680)

Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse. Elon Musk made your life worse.

the mRNA vaccines are an absolute miracle of science that saved millions of lives and we're going to throw the entire technology out because they could not vaccinate society against putting the worst and most ignorant people alive in charge of our medical system

I threw an HDR test page up on my website stuff.chuckdries.com/hdr/

For my inaugural post to @grain.social: some failed photos today, because I think sharing failures is as important as sharing successes grain.social/profile/chuc...

Taking the GX680 out for the beginning of rose season

Most of the roses at Washington Park aren’t blooming yet, but some are! And it already smells fantastic #portland #photography

Got this European starling from my porch yesterday #birding

Your city’s housing crisis is a policy choice that your leaders are free to stop making at any time.

Tummy ache :(

finally a source for all the frankly bizarre claims around LLM water "use" literally nothing about LLM-related compute uses more water than any other compute activity, focus on Actually Objectionable bits around LLMs like degraded infosphere

Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses. Real buttons are sooooooo back baby!

SCOOP: The Trump administration is “decommissioning” a Department of Justice office that been at the center of dismantling transnational organized crime networks, drug cartels and human trafficking rings. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
