@farhavenfarhaven 🇪🇺 wait so if you duplicate-with-changes an es6-class object with immer does it remain an es6-class object or is it transmuted into a vanilla {}
Wanted: a lightweight open-source OCR engine, ideally as light as the OCR engine built into Windows 10/11 (apparently intended for mobile apps while MS was still trying to play that game), so not one of the current heavy deep-learning-based implementations, but also as good at handling color screenshots (particularly those with a mix of background/foreground color schemes) as Windows OCR. In my experience Tesseract fails on that latter point; would love to know if I'm just missing some trick.
@farhavenfarhaven 🇪🇺 so immer can duplicate-with-changes an object and it is still an es6-class object, it doesn't become vanilla {}?

"any company that is pursuing a new monopoly should be assumed to be lying" is actually a moderate default position; the primary reason anyone would claim otherwise is that they're indoctrinated.
Gee, I wonder why billionaires want to control the encyclopedia.
(Kudos to the contributors of this very astute section of Zohran Mamdani's Wikipedia bio.)

Mamdani's campaign platform has been considered by outlets to be similar to the policies pursued by former New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia and former U.S. president Franklin Delano Roosevelt.[91][92] The German state broadcaster Deutsche Welle classifies Mamdani's policies as being on the center-left of the global political spectrum.[93] This is unusual in the United States, as the 1950s Second Red Scare and the 1990s Democratic Pivot towards centrist neoliberalism occurred, which shifted the overton window of American politics significantly to the right compared to almost any other liberal democracies, and led national politics to being generally restricted between centrists and the hard right.[93] While misinformation has spread during the 2025 New York mayoral race calling his policies radical or communist, there is a consensus among political scientists that his policies are similar to those pursued by mainstream center-left parties in other developed democracies.[93] Mamdani identifies as being within the democratic socialist tradition.[51][94] He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.[60][71] Mamdani has also been called a progressive.[68]](https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/115/495/383/032/852/155/original/58e38114050dd3ee.png)

Andrew Nesbitt builds tools and open datasets to support, sustain, and secure critical digital infrastructure. He's been exploring the world of open source metadata for over a decade. First with libraries.io and now with ecosyste.ms, which tracks over 12 million packages, 287 million repos, 24.5 billion dependencies, and 1.9 million maintainers.

What I'm listening to today: "the TV show", Kosuke Sugimoto and Takayuki Manabe
No no wait, THIS is my favorite video on YouTube. A beautifully plotted 2009 independent animation with an incredibly catchy, pseudo-chiptune original score that stands out by itself as a classic of circa-2010 glitchy "electro"¹.
This is the kind of thing you'll get the premise immediately but need to watch at least three times to fully Get it

What I'm listening to today: "Phuturum", Caitliff
The spaceship has these two winglike structures on the side, but it's a spaceship, you don't need wings in space. They're actually for launching smaller ships, the "wings" are hollow hangar spaces on the inside and terminate on two long launch rails. But if nothing's launching today you can grab a suit, sit at the end of the launch tunnel, stare down this tunnel open to space, see the great blue earth floating outside.
Convincing real-time audio deepfakes are here, and anyone can make them using a combination of publicly available tools and affordable hardware.

The scientific accuracy of last night's dream was abysmal.
Even if the US accidentally launched all their ICBMs at Topeka, Kansas, there's no way it could create a black hole.

Ozzy was not happy we went away for a few days. We've only had him a couple of years even though he's an old cat. He has a big abandonment phobia because he's had one hell of a hard life with people who didn't care. He has the scars and broken bones to show it.
He's a lovely floof. And now he's blepping for you.
