  • Zelensky refuses to hold elections in wartime Ukraine

    Jump

  • I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I'd suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn't a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.

  • What a time to be alive

    Jump

  • This is a joke, right? This feels like a very dumb solution. I don't know much about UTF-8 encoding, but it sounds like Roman characters can be encoded shorter than most or all others because of a shorthand that assumes Roman characters. In that case, why not take that functionality and let a UTF-8 block specify which language makes up most of the text so that you can have that savings almost every time? I don't see why one would want it to be random.

  • Which one of you was this?

    Jump

  • I'd like to hear the story of how we found out.

  • Stop doing Computer Science

    Jump

  • This could be so much longer.

    Killing children, class systems, so many programming language names, the ridiculous ways equality and order-of-operations are done sometimes. Plenty of recursion jokes to be made. Big O notation. Any other ideas?

  • Wednesday's Theme: Star Wars Sucks?

    Jump

  • I love both. Am I allowed to critique both or neither? OR or XOR?

  • What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

    Jump

  • There's a giant ball of extremely hot plasma in the sky and we aren't supposed to look at it. What is it hiding? Surely if someone managed to look at it long enough, they would see the truth!

  • Musk cut internet to Ukraine’s military as it was attacking Russian fleet

    Jump

  • Wow...this summary had almost nothing to do with Ukraine...

    Sorry bot, you usually do a good job, but not this time.

  • Microsoft to stop forcing Windows 11 users into Edge in EU countries

    Jump

  • Probably just down to less stuff running in the background using up CPU cycles. I can't imagine it makes a huge difference, but more than nothing.

  • Pornhub Sues Texas Over Age Verification Law

    Jump

  • It's kinda tragic too. I do agree with the sentiment behind age verification, it is in the kids' best interest that they not be using porn at that age. But there's really no way to effectively enforce this without violating basic rights. There is no good solution. Given that dilemma, all we can do is try to better prepare parents to deal with this in their home.

  • Here we go again

    Jump

  • This is your hourly reminder that Brave is still Chromium and still contributes to Google's influence over internet standards.

  • Would A Wireless Shower Head Use Hydrogen?

    Jump

  • Was this a thought you had in the shower, or a thought you had about showers?

    Also, the pipe carrying water to the showerhead isn't a wire or cord, and therefore every showerhead is wireless.

  • Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time
