I use Safari on Mac and can tell you that more and more sites are breaking when I have content blockers and privacy features enabled. It feels like the days when sites were developed for IE and barely functioned on other browsers.

They used to include Nintendo 3DS on the survey results. I can only think of one kind of PH user that would prefer Steam deck.

Functions with arguments that don’t do anything… hey Claude why did you do that? Good catch…!

He raised the price higher than the cost of going to WIPO to deal with it. If he set the price to $1 or 2 million they likely would have paid it. $75 million is bonkers.

I’ve noticed that a lot of the material produced by the Trump admin uses Garamond Condensed which is the same font Apple used on its machines and corporate documentation in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

In the novel 1984, George Orwell calls that phenomenon “double think”.

"WAR IS PEACE; FREEDOM IS SLAVERY; IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH."

No more cowardly than the original Top Gun which likewise didn’t name the enemy.

That’s not going to happen because it’s not going to be built. The next president is going to inherit a demolition site and the Republicans are going to complain that the Democrats are denigrating the office of the president by failing to deal with the construction site.

It would be better to give the businesses and landlords some certainty and allow them to be built as a permanent structure. Add better trash holding infrastructure while they are at it.

The first time I went to NYC, car traffic was still allowed on Broadway between 46th and 47th in Times Square. Closing it off gave all these tourists somewhere to go and made crossing the street so much safer. It’s crazy to me that so much real estate was ceded to making the area 5% more convenient for drivers when the land was so much better used for pedestrians. NYC is already so walkable but I’d love to see it even less congested. No reason not to use the bus.
