  • I asked OP to update the title in another comment which they did (and appreciate) but it made this comment of mine confusing 😅. The original title didn’t have any mention of which country. It just said they were adding a paywall

  • The original title just said something like “BBC is now paywalled” making it sound like it applied to more than 1 of the 195 (worldometers.info recognised) countries in the world.

    I’m not British but it’d be pretty alarming to hear that the BBC was adding a paywall that applied to the British if I was British

  • I love the US defaultism even when they’re talking about another country’s public news station

    (edit: the title originally just said it was adding a paywall without mention of any country)

  • BBC announced it’s introducing a paywall for consumers in the U.S

    It seems like it’s only for the US? If that’s true can you update the title OP

  • Carney says Canada will spend 5% of its GDP on defence by 2035

  • I mean in a way it’s because of Trump, but not because he asked for it. One of the largest militaries in the world is now in the hands of a fucked up abomination made up of a demented old narcissist, the Heritage Foundation and Russia.

    I honestly feel a lot better knowing Canada and Europe are putting more money into the military, especially given the annexation threats

  • After Mamdani Victory, Progressives Call for Primary Challenges to Democratic Establishment

  • That’s sad to hear honestly. I thought city politics would be the one place Americans could escape the two party BS

  • Huh, that kind of sucks to be honest. In Ontario (and I assume the rest of Canada), Mayoral elections don’t have parties involved at all. It’s just individuals and your city ward’s individual candidates. Truthfully, the candidates often have some former experience with a provincial or federal party (or at least an endorsement, but they don’t run under any party banners)

    I think it makes more sense that way since local politics work a lot differently than state/provincial and higher politics.

  • I’ve been kind of confused about this whole thing. In the US, are even mayoral elections Democrat VS Republican? What happens if more than two people want to run for mayor?

  • Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development

    Jump

  • It was well known a decade ago in the Minecraft community. Truthfully there’s been very few updates for the last few years so this did seem sort of inevitable. It’s sad though since Minecraft doesn’t have a proper competitor right now (something that isn’t just a Unity asset flip). The promise of true modding support alone was enough to get me excited for it

  • Unrelated but the bottom navbar in that screenshot makes me long for the Alien Blue days of Reddit. I also just miss that iOS design (along with the OS X Mavericks design)

  • These are the stats I found:

    • According to the most recent Gallup poll, Trump's job approval rating was 43% in May.
    • The Economist shows that 41% of people are favorable of Trump and 53% are unfavorable of him, according to the latest update from June 20.
    • Rasmussen Reports poll from June 20 showed 52% approval and 47% disapproval of Trump.
    • The Morning Consult tracker poll taken mid-June has dropped to 46% approval rating and 52% who disapprove.
    • A Reuters/Ipsos poll reported that, as of June 16, 42% of those surveyed gave him a favorable approval rating of his performance in office.
    • An InsiderAdvantage poll taken between June 15-16 showed Trump with 54.4% approval over a 44.1% disapproval of his job performance.

    From here

  • He has an almost 50% approval rating from Americans so while you’re technically correct, that’s still a ridiculous amount of Americans who like him

  • Why make it complicated?

  • I guess it’s less the response itself but the response objects in the codebase. The main code base I work on is fully typed Python/FastAPI but we depend on an API from another team that was, up until recently, untyped entirely. The responses were just dictionaries that were dynamically generated randomly in 10 layer deep functions. There was absolutely no way to tell what they would actually return, let alone what types they would be. It’s like, if you see a function that’s just called get_big_fat_entity_findings() with no typing, how would you handle that without spending an hour reading through the code line by line? Typing is important for any project that’s bigger than a quick script

  • Fish Suffer Up to 22 Minutes of Intense Pain When Taken Out of Water

    Jump

  • It never made sense to me that “fish don’t feel pain”. Like, even as a kid I didn’t understand why they wouldn’t. Who would be okay with a metal hook through their mouth? Even if they didn’t feel the same kind of pain we do (I’m sure they do), there’s got to be some part of their body screaming that things aren’t okay. Add on top of that the sudden inability to breathe and it really is just torture.

    I like the idea of fishing (like relaxing on a boat with a goal) but I couldn’t do it
