Once they decided to skip the primary and started getting contributions to a Biden/Harris campaign, it became virtually impossible to select anyone else once Biden dropped out. Only a Harris campaign could take over the money already raised for the campaign. Any other candidate would have to start fundraising a few months before the election starting from nothing, and would have been at a massive disadvantage.

voted my conscience by picking a third party instead of picking either unqualified candidates

Are you implying there was a qualified third party candidate? Is this an oxymoron?

Awesome

Thank you!

Anyone have a non-paywalled link?

It’s times like this i wish my instance allowed the ability to downvote this garbage. You have a 3 day old account and posted 3 posts with misinformation in 15 minutes. Who do you think you’re fooling?

It can’t be Higher because H was already used for HEY.

Pretty sure all voting security professionals agree that you need a paper trail to verify, in the event of data loss or hacking. Adding an online voting option would be more convenient, but also make it more convenient to foreign interests who want to disrupt the election. The added convenience doesn’t justify the risk.

Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2030/

What a weird commercial. I’ve got so much stuff going on in my life, but my priority should be maintaining the virtual life of my Animal Crossing character?

I would bet that they will restrict the distribution of existing and new vaccines first, and then perform the investigation slowly, wasting money and time, and causing unnecessary harm.

TBH a take home assignment as a .doc file would have been enough for me to pass. Even when going through resumes (for technical roles), i usually skip anything that’s not a PDF.

Amazing!! Thanks

That was an excruciating interview to listen to. He started off kinda sounding sane, but as time went on, more of his fringe ideas started showing, culminating to that point.

Interesting, that’s not something I ever thought about. I just looked up the nameservers for .bb:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns5.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns3.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns2.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns1.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns4.nic.bb.
bb.			86400	IN	NS	ns6.nic.bb.

It seems like ns1.nic.bb doesn’t resolve, and for 2-6, they’re all in either 64.68.192.0/20 or 64.119.192.0/20, so it does look like a small concentration in root nameservers which could be unavailable in a storm.

Same thing happened to me once tbh. It can happen.

the warning for future tech founders is clear: Be careful when picking your top-level domain. Physical history is never as separate from our digital future as we like to think.

Kinda ironic this is published to a website with a .to ccTLD for the Kingdom of Tonga.

FWIW if you have a seed box which you can ssh into, you can setup a SOCKS5 proxy to route all traffic through the seed box. It’ll act like a VPN for you and is the best of both worlds in my opinion. This way your ISP and government can’t block your traffic or see that you’re accessing trackers at all (even to get the magnet links).

Don’t even get me started with about:config

I use PWAs for Firefox and they work ok, although I don’t have the issue you mention. For me, in Ubuntu, if I open a link in a PWA for Google Chat, then the link opens in the PWA firefox window, not my main browser window. Maybe there’s a setting I missed?

Also, the PWA acts like a separate browser, so opening Google Chat requires you to log in again to Google on the same machine. And if you open up a paywalled link, and it opens in the PWA, then you have to log in, even if you’re logged in in Firefox.

Overall 5/7 rating on usability, but did allow me to get completely off of Chrome
