""Harris is up by 1 percentage point in Arizona and by 2 points in Georgia and Nevada, while Trump is ahead by 1 point in North Carolina. All are within the margin of sampling error," Fox News reported.
That's a marked change since past surveys by the outlet showed Biden trailing Trump in each of the states by 5 or 6 points."
Push him back some more!

Are you an SRE/Data Engineer looking to make a difference in the non profit tech space? Does helping support Wikipedia excite you?
We're growing/evolving our analytics infrastructure and need your help!
This role joins a small (2-person, will be 3) SRE team within a larger "full stack" engineering team that maintains our own isolated on-prem infrastructure for industry-leading donor privacy and PCI compliance reasons.

It is worth noting, too, that the primary policy directive governing how federal agencies build and manage digital services and websites (OMB Memo M-23-22) includes provisions which specifically direct agencies to optimize web site performance, and to consider users on older devices and who have suboptimal bandwidth.
So the policy foundation for improvements exists, now to get agencies to adhere to it.

What does it do? No way to know. It's a total black box. You don't get actual control over the highs and lows or anything like that.
You just get a vague little slider that performs some unknown function, because you can't handle the truth, you simpleton.

“Millions of Americans were reportedly furious on Tuesday after being cruelly reminded of Tulsi Gabbard’s existence.
While millions more struggled to remember who Gabbard was, those who could place her were irate that Donald J. Trump had chosen to jog their memory in such a brutal manner.”

Holy shit, the Rijksmuseum used a 100MP Hasselblad camera to take almost eight and a half THOUSAND photos of the whole of Rembrandt's The Night Watch, for a total image size of 717 GIGAPIXELS. 😳
It's on their website as a zoomable image and you can zoom in so far you can see the individual cracks in the paint: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/stories/operation-night-watch/story/ultra-high-resolution-photo

Mastodon FeedConsidering that YouTube has roughly 18 years of watch history recorded on my account, its recommendations are... shockingly bland and generic. Imagine what you could do with all this data and a bit of clever collaborative filtering 🤔

"...the cemetery official tried to prevent Trump staffers from filming and photographing in a section where recent U.S. casualties are buried... Arlington officials had made clear that only cemetery staff members would be authorized to take photographs or film in the area, known as Section 60... campaign staff verbally abused and pushed the official aside, according to the source."

Zuck, purveyor of COVID-19 misinformation who thinks Trump is “badass”, whines it was wrong for the Biden administration to criticize his company for spreading COVID-19 misinformation.
It’s yet another case of a social media operator complaining their “free speech”rights are being violated simply because they’re being criticized.
Free speech is not freedom from criticism: quite the opposite.

I think one of the hard things about fedi, culturally, is that a whole lot (most??) of us are here because we are refusers of norms. And which norms and which levels of refusal differ.
So even if you’re at the 80th to 99th percentile of resistance to corporate social media OR mainstream party politics OR mainstream journalism OR cars OR the normalization of repeat covid infections, there will always be people popping up to tell you that by not being completely pure, you’re killing everyone.
