  • Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts

  • Trust me, a growing elderly population with a shrinking working-age workforce to sustain them is very much not a good thing.

  • Helpful fact

  • Neurodivergence can manifest partly in the form of sensory sensitivity, which can include light sensitivity.

  • Zohran Mamdani, in the New York City mayoral debate: "Free buses would cost $700M. Cuomo gave more—$959M—to Elon Musk for a failed Tesla factory."

  • Given a lot of his known history, I have enough confidence to say he's a real one, unlike Obama.

  • Probably a good idea to go see how much storage will be necessary...

  • The English Language Wikipedia probably wouldn't be hard, or Debian Stable.

    All of Debian's packages might be a tad more expensive, though.

  • The QAnon Shaman Would Like to Challenge the Validity of Trump’s Presidency

    Jump

  • I mean, the case will probably be thrown out almost instantly—given that he's claiming that he's actually president instead of Trump—so really it's just kind of darkly humorous.

  • Judge Gives Humiliating Punishment to Lawyers Caught Using AI in Court

  • They can pay, sure, but that option also means potential disbarment.

    Any fine is a paltry sum compared to getting a lawyer's license thrown in the bin.

  • Writing other genders is hard, but sometimes people nail it

  • I think that's just wanting to join a gay primitivist(?) commune.

    I, uh, don't suppose you got room for a bi-curious peep?

  • After 'Years of Neglected Oversight,' House Votes to Repeal Authorization Used by Presidents to Wage 'Forever Wars'

    Jump

  • I'm not hopeful that the repeal amendment survives the Senate, but we shall see.

  • systemd 259 To Raise Linux System Requirements - Phoronix

    Jump

  • So it's more like "minimum required dependency versions"?

  • Nintendo briefly opened a survey to ask players their opinion on digital and physical games – could there be changes after the negative response to Switch 2 Game Key Cards?

    Jump

  • I think it's because people expect that when they opt to buy a game on a physical cartridge, they expect the game to be on the cartridge. With compromises, maybe, but fully on-cartridge.

  • It's more likely than you think.

  • Usually I'm willing to share more when I can tell a customer is engaging with me earnestly, and believe me when I say that I do strongly appreciate it. Feels like a pressure release, especially on busier days or when I'm on my own at the counter.

  • Me_irl haha

  • I'm gonna just go on a brief tirade here—

    It's probably just me, but I despise "how are you doing?" as a greeting.

    To put this in context, I work in a customer-facing position, handling returns at a counter. When people come up to me and ask "how are you doing?", 95% of the time they don't actually care. And it bothers me in particular because I instinctively want to answer the question honestly, but a) that would result in me going into a non-trivial emotional ramble because of the... everything going on in the world right now, and b) being that open with a stranger is weird.

    It's why I've settled into using "fine, relatively" whenever I'm asked that question in a context that demands a terse response. It's as honest as I can be, captures a decent range of emotions, and at the very least can get a rise out of people who aren't expecting the standard "good" or "great" or "alright."

  • The open-source repository relies on internal APIs at the IRS. It's not really meant to be run by your average John Doe.

    When did you guys decide not to follow the Bible

    Jump

  • As in, interpreting the Bible as metaphor?

    I do think they're more valid and I'm more willing to respect someone's faith on that ground. I've considered it myself before, even, but my upbringing as a (now former) Roman Catholic has definitely colored my interpretation of it.

    When did you guys decide not to follow the Bible

    Jump

  • The moment I couldn't square biblical inerrancy with the many contradictory (both mutually exclusive and self-contradictory) statements of the Bible.

    Also, being very into astronomy and evolutionary science, which ran hard up against the stories of Creation.
