  • Mexican president says U.S. should be called "América Mexicana" in Trump clapback

    Jump

  • Yeh, unlike enoughmuskspam - which is essentially just absurdities about some rich fuck -... Donny is actually the president of the United States.All the cringe and batshit crazy? That's who America has elected to lead and represent them. Essentially, that's America for the next 4 years. Hopefully shorter, probably going to be some attempts to make it longer.But, that is Americas representative.

    Now, maybe moving away from the default "everything is about America" would be a good idea.But realistically, news articles from America about America are unlikely to include the country - let alone the state - where the news takes place. And they are always going to be posted to generic news/politics communities. So, unlikely to actually happen.

    But "trump says" and "why trump wants" being rephrased as "America says" and "why America wants" wouldn't be a bad thing. Might be a wake up call for a few people.

  • Musk is only "America first" because it's the best place for his business.He now essentially owns the government.He has paid a shit ton for the election. He has government contracts.Elon Musk is America.

    When (some) people realise what Elon Musk actually is, what America actually is, they are gonna be disgusted (I know that there are a lot of people that already see this).

    America should be awesome.But it has sold out

  • Still wild to me that we built webpages like this

    Jump

  • At scale, it can be considerably cheaper.Limit data access according to security policy and some basic filtering from the request. It's not a huge amount of processing for an API server to do.Web pages, desktop app, mobile apps, other servers can all use it to access the data.Template rendering is then done on the client side. So processing for that is done on the client, saving a lot of compute cost - meaning the servers can respond to more API requests.Data transferred is lower as well. A template that gets populated by the client using data from an API request will be overall smaller than the full template rendered server side.The client apps can then be entirely managed separately from the server apps, without having to be tightly integrated. This allows the front end team to do what they want, and the backend team do what they want - as long as the API endpoints are correct.

    For most things, an SPA isn't required or even desirable (which is why server side rendering of SPAs is a thing).But SPAs should give a better experience to users, and can be easier to build.

  • A mild blinking light beside a respectable brightness light is the best.If there is only a flashing light, it can make it very difficult to judge distance, direction and speed of the cyclist. So an always-on light should be required.And very few other things on the road have blinking red or white lights, which makes it very easy to identify that they are a cyclist. So a (not-blinding) flashing light is extra safety for the cyclist.

    Reflective tapes are fine, but don't work for pedestrians in the dark.Reflective tapes are extra safety.

  • Funnily enough, GDPR/cookie laws say denying consent needs to be as easy as granting consent.I've noticed a few websites with "Deny All" buttons next to the "Save Preferences" button. So, some people are paying attention to the law.I'm pretty sure your country will have a site/service for reporting non-compliant websites.

  • Let's Encrypt Announces New-Certificate-Every-6-Days Offering

    Jump

  • You can distribute your public key, and have people manually add it to their trust stores.But OSs and browsers ship with preloaded trusted certificates. This way, the owner of a preloaded trusted certificate can issue new certificates that are automatically trusted by people's OSs and browsers.To become a preloaded trusted certificate owner, I imagine that there are stringent audits and security requirements. Part of that will be verifying the identity of the requester before issuing them a certificate.

    With LetsEncrypt, they either need to talk to a server hosted at the domain to retrieve a token (generated when the request is initiated).This proves the requester owns/controls the domain and the server (the requester has correctly set up DNS records, and placed the required token on the server). This is HTTP challenge mode.The other method is by a DNS challenge. The requester adds a TXT record to their nameservers with the token value, letsencrypt then inspects the DNS records for the domain and will issue a cert when it sees the token. This proves the requester owns/controls the domain.

    So, proving identity is required (otherwise anyone could generate a trusted cert for any domain). And trusted certificate issuers are required, so people don't have to constantly import (possibly dodgy) public keys

    Google have kinda sorted it, but it really depends on what you search for. The less "real" results you expect to find (or the more esoteric the keywords), the more garbage tiktok/Pinterest you have to scroll through.

  • Trump Tariffs May Upend Hollywood Production

    Jump

  • The issue is that nobody trusts corporations/capitalism.Companies will have to increase prices due to tariffs because the line has to go up.And when trump implements tariffs and the (if) he folds, the prices won't go back down. They will stay at that level. Because suddenly, C-suite get to show a huge line-go-up and they get to receive a huge bonus that reflects this 25% (well, lower. But the required rise due to tariffs suddenly being free real-estate) profit increase that they pull out of their ass.
