The headline makes this sound a lot worse than the article does.

From the article there’s basically a list of exemptions in the law that describes who doesn’t need to follow it (e.g. an online booking site for doctors visits), everybody else needs to check the rules to see if they do. And if they do, they then need to follow extra child safety rules (e.g. Roblox is opting out under-16s from open DMs by default)

GitHub can quite rightly say they don’t fall under the restrictions of the law, and that could be the end of it. The simple fact that it doesn’t have any form of private messaging feature is probably enough.

they’re just a radical left communist

God I wish that was remotely true

There are countries that actually collect and recycle.

And we do that in Australia, we just don’t have the capacity to process all the waste (Between 85%-90% of plastic waste goes to landfill instead), and even then the recyclability of plastic is vastly overstated.

It’s a much better idea to just prevent the plastic waste being produced in the first place.

We still do.

(and why isn’t spell check core Windows functionality?)

It actually is, introduced in Windows 8, it’s just taken devs ages to actually start using it (Notepad only got it last year, 12 years after it was introduced)

Figuring out how to more efficiently house/care for a glut of humans farther in the future is way more practical.

Our government’s started means testing care services due to the projected costs and loss of tax income as the population ages and costs increase.

It doesn’t help that the only form of economic management they do is offer tax cuts, they’re getting less and less tax out of an already declining share of the population.

For a while Google let you blacklist domains from search results, fantastic feature so of course they killed it off.

They’d run afoul of the whole “editing your own article” restrictions.

I take that there isn’t much motivation in moving to 128 because it’s big enough; it’s only 8 cycles (?) to fill a 512 (that can’t be right?).

8 cycles would be an eternity on a modern CPU, they can achieve multiple register sized loads per cycle.

If we do see a CPU with 128 bit addresses anytime soon, it’ll be something like CHERI, where the extra bits are used for flags.

I think CHERI is the only real attempt at a 128 bit system, but it uses the upper 64 bits for metadata, so the address space is still 64 bits.

Jack Dorsey may have had lofty goals for Bluesky, but he doesn’t even work there anymore.

Which is a point in Bluesky’s favour.

His personal LLC is called “Excession”, considering some of the plot points in that book I doubt he enjoyed it at all, it’s just “nerd set dressing”.

At the time it was just an ad-lib by Jason Issacs, guessing he wished on a monkey’s paw for it to make sense in context.
