I love #rust-lang but I do wish its cross compilation story was different:

Sometimes I wonder if the US will ever truly break from its ignorance on race, and then a European will comment the absolute worst opinion I've ever read and I think, okay we're doing pretty good actually.

So we susbscribed to #Netflix to watch Queen's Gambit. I know, it might seem a shock that someone hadn't got it already, but we've only been subscribed to Prime until now.

What I want to say is... what a toxic pile of dark patterns! Playing spoilers with audio all the time, anywhere in the app. Automatically starting next episode as soon as you get to the credits. And it costs how much? 25 bucks a month??

Why do people put up with this crap?

Bit of recent #computerhistory : Matt Pharr tells
The story of ispc

Last day of early voting 8AM, Deland, Florida— longest voting line I have ever seen, and I voted in Atlanta last time.

Driving across town in hopes that the line is shorter.

I like how Apple's "Gatekeeper" name says exactly what it is. It's cool how we sleep walk into a computing world where you are only allowed to trust somebody as long as Apple, Microsoft, Google, etc. also trust them.

(Note I had dalliance with Apple products a long time ago. I don't currently use Android. And I only use Windows at work because its a requirement there. But dealing with one or more of these corps are largely unavoidable to most of us.)

@uint8_t In March 2024, the was a ruling by the European Court of Justice, which basically said that all standards that are mandatory for products must be free of charge.

I just looked up what's the current state of this:

There is now an official web site where you can request free access to european standards, and access those that were sucessfully requested by others: https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/documents-request/home

It explicitly says that everyone may use it, not just people in the EU.

(See caveats in replies!)
