Section 230 was foundational to shifting the risk of running social networks. This, good or bad, brought us to where we are.
Once they knock it down, the unintended consequences will be... interesting. 🍿
Christopher Chung (Roddy Ho) is one of those actors who appear to be completely different personalities in real life than their characters. Reminds me of Stephanie Beatriz (Rosa Diaz) or Andre Braugher (Raymond Holt) in Brooklyn 99. Just shows you how skilled they are at what they do.
Looking forward to seeing him in Dr. Who.
That's the source code for Voyager. If you want to make any changes not supported in the UI, you could change the source, then rebuild the binary for your own device and upload it to your device.
The code, IIRC is based on https://ionic.io/ so changing the icons for the tabbar involve modifying the ionic tab-bar setting: https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/tab-bar.
A works/construction department in a medium-sized town. They had an Excel spreadsheet that had a HUGE number of screens. Anyone wanting to do commercial real-estate construction had to not only fill out these forms, but keep them uptodate and submit the updates at end of each work day.
The thing was HUGE and had lots of interdependent screens, where if you picked an item from a dropdown menu, it unlocked a bunch of other complicated screens or panels, and so forth. Each screen had 30-40 items and fields on it, and there were multiple dozens of screens you had to tab through.
To run it on the jobsite, construction contractors HAD to buy a pen and touchscreen Windows 'tablet' ($$$). The whole thing had been written and maintained by one guy over the course of a few years.
EVERYONE hated it. The guy who had written it wanted to get promoted to management, but nobody else wanted to maintain it so he was stuck.
Sorry, but this country fully deserves where it ends up.
I shut off all news and social media, stopped checking newspapers, TV, and podcasts, and unsubbed from all politics and news mailing lists and communities. Told family and friends and they're being cool about it.
Dove into 60's detective novels. Anything by Ross Thomas, Donald Westlake, and Lawrence Block. Have stocked up on at least a year's worth of out-of-print epubs. Will reevaluate once they run out. Mixed with a lot of outdoor walks.
It's been glorious.
And they STILL won't let immigrants get full citizanship rights. Guess the birth-rate hasn't gone low enough.
413 is amateur hour.
Had stinky tofu with curdled pig's blood in Taipei a while back. The people I was visiting had me try it at a night market. The smell was much worse than the texture or flavor. I could totally see someone who had grown up with it considering it comfort food.
Helped that we had all had a fair bit to drink already.
That is one possible outcome. The other is they put so many loopholes and exceptions in it to appease a particular point of view and it becomes meaningless.
Either way, investments will likely be impacted.
