hey #Greenland 
now's a good time to stop using US tech, and teach your friends how to use Mastodon and other decentralized tech 
Some web APIs don't need all browsers to support them for you to use them as a dev. I don't think FedCM not being in Safari or Firefox right now is a deal breaker for Bluesky or Mastodon. You don't even need to fully commit to the tech (Google doesn't even use every feature at the moment).

Minnesota is really putting the facts of the 'opposition' party on show.
Walz says "I'm gonna deploy the National Guard," but actually deployed the state troopers to protect the Gestapo.
Now Frey's up on stage saying that MPD is just too busy protecting the economy to deal with crimes against humanity, so all protesters should go home. Because MPD won't protect them.
This is not opposition; it's collaboration and gaslighting.

Better watch out next time you use WiFi on a plane. Because it's broadcasted unencrypted across the area of an entire continent via a satellite link. And it can be received using of the shelf TV satellite dishes.
Good part is: private connections are mostly encrypted due to stuff like Let's Encrypt.
Bad part: critical infrastructure doesn't use Let's Encrypt.

So, I see Wikipedia has bowed to the slop-peddlers protection racket. "Let us violate your consent and steal from you, or else we'll DDOS your site with scrapers forever."
And now a towering human achievement is irretrievably tainted by collusion with the slopbros.
"AI" is a grift, a consent-violation machine, a protection racket all rolled into one. It destroys everything it touches.

"But they HAD to sign a deal! Otherwise the 'AI' scrapers would have just shut their site down by inflicting massive server costs!"
First, that is LITERALLY a protection racket. Second, signing a deal offers no protection; the blackmailer will simply escalate demands.

Do you know any new open source projects that deserve recognition?
Projects that are:
- Solving real world problems and driving technical innovation
- Improving science, research or medicine
- Challenging long standing platforms or paradigms
- Just super nerdy and doing something novel!
If you do, please share them and perhaps we can help them get the attention they deserve. 🧡

This gives you an idea what it would be like to work with me. What do you think?

I'm writing C++. I have a struct
struct ExampleStruct {
int32_t i;
bool a;
bool b;
}
I know I'm running on a modern CPU such as x86_64 or ARM64, and I know I'm using a modern compiler such as recent clang, recent gcc, or recent msvc.
The byte offsets of "a" and "b", relative to the start of ExampleStruct, are:
