Based on new data, I've changed my mind about the belief that "People don't change their minds based on new data."🙂🙃
My previous belief was based on the great research on the "backfire effect," done by Brendan Nyhan in 2010. But in 2020, Brendan did new research, showing that he was wrong about people not changing their minds.🙃🙂
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1912440117He showed that presenting the right data the right way, does cause people to change their minds. This was the right data and way for me.

When logging into Wordpress.org (login.wordpress.org) you have to confirm that you are not affiliated with WPEngine.
While this looks petty and childish it's another sign the Wordpress is in the hands of people who can't find less destructive ways to handle their fucking midlife crisis.

My experiences running a failed VC-backed startup a few years ago, preceded by my experiences getting grants from government agencies, have made me incredibly allergic to seeking project financing. This has come to the detriment of my potential, and I wish I had solutions.

8. The Black Cat (1934). A strange collage of science fictional and gothic elements. Boris Karloff lives in an Art Deco mansion in Hungary built on the site of a WWI massacre and the movie treats the mansion as the 20th century's equivalent of a gothic manor. But the conversion from 19th to 20th century is incomplete so you have servants in peasant blouses wandering around in rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and bakelite alarm clocks

using LaTeX is easy, all you need to know is that when Donald Knuth failed the Mark of Mastery Exam and lost his ability to wield a keyblade, his heart manifested that power into a new person: Tela Type
Tela had the power to wield the Fountain Keypen, which was mightier than any Keyblade.
However when Tela's best friend Roxe was consumed by darkness (creating the nobody Xerox and the heartless Bell), Tela fell into despair and lost her heart too, creating the nobody LaTeX and the heartless Metafont.
You first meet Metafont in *Kingdom Hearts e-ε: ligature drop descender*, although they aren't that important.
LaTeX first appears in *Kingdom Hearts π-ε : hbox overfull*, although at that point they're called TeX.
They only become LaTeX in *Kingdom Hearts Literate:coded* where they merge with their digital replica in a simulation of TAOCP and discover the χ-macro that was hidden inside themselves by king Mickey.

When people think about leading countries in renewable energy they rarely think about Lithuania.
The country has now reached a whopping 60% of wind + solar as a share of total electricity generation making it number 3 in the world.
In 2012 gas still supplied 64% of Lithuania's electricity. It's now down to about 10%.

I don't care if this is a flawless legal approach.
Setting aside the whole ethic of reconciliation and good faith (!), you can't take the paternalistic and controlling stance of maintaining the Indian Act on the one hand, and refuse responsibilities on the other...

@bramus @owa Yes, Google is doing nasty stuff to prevent the web from breaking out too (and it has the same "strategic inaction" flavour):
https://open-web-advocacy.org/blog/google-must-share-the-ability-to-install-web-apps-in-android/
But the difference in the landscape is night-and-day. Apple's suppression of the web is singlehandedly preventing browsers and PWAs from providing an open, interoperable alternative to app stores. And that's intentional.

Nilay is exactly 100% right about that.
Web Bluetooth works on pretty much every OS on every platform (as long as it can run a browser that supports it). In other words: This does not work on iOS.
