Good to know. I disabled watch history just so YouTube wouldn't recommend any shorts.

Maybe wrap the web page by using a legacy WebBrowser control, publish your own executable and grant admin rights on it. Maybe someone out there has already done this for their own weird activex use case.

I'd expect the same treatment in any other country. If you break the law and get deported, they are not going to let you walk around freely anymore. Maybe she expected special treatment?

As someone who used mod TF2 on the server side, this is fantastic. I've spent countless hours analyzing the binaries in IDA and now you can just open github. This will definitely accelerate new features and bugfixes from the community.

It's about damn time, really. The TF2 source code has already leaked twice. And a group even made a cloned version of the game in an earlier version of the engine. The community support this game still has is massive.

How do you manage schema for exchanges, queues, and routing? The pattern seems to be for each client to set up the schema for the parts they touch before hand, but that doesn't scale well. The schema ends up siloed in each project and nobody knows what the current state should be.

What you actually mean is leave the leaves so they blow away and become your neighbor's problem.

Moving hundreds of pounds of leaves each season is backbreaking and time consuming work. The game changer is to rake the edges in and mulch them with a mower. Not quiet but it's quick.

For a dystopian look at the housing market, just look at Canada or Australia. Inflation impacted just about every country. At least in America we have lots of land and diverse housing markets we can choose from.

New account. Rage inducing story. Aggressor left the country which leaves no solution. Another motive for these posts is to solicit sympathy donations over DMs.

Wow, each ride is taxed $0.90 to hopefully provide taxi companies with wheel chair accessible vehicles so they can perform rides at a loss? The city would be better off forming a non-profit and managing the rides like public transit.

Turning off video history will disable recommendations and shorts which improves my experience. An extension like this is right up my alley.

Ignorant question, but why is it still relevant today? Are there not public lands you can utilize and roads and transportation to get there?

From the abolish rent crowd, I mostly hear that they want more affordable high density housing and less car dependency. Not more parking lots, garages, and chargers.

Safari doesn't support that API whatsoever so a third party JS library is really your only option. The landscape of open source barcode detection libraries is bleak at the moment.

In most states it's illegal to abandon an animal on the side of the road. Pandey could try to file a police report to hold the driver responsible.

Edit: Update from Pandey on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/16wl1hd/comment/k2x...

> Also now, that I have her back, I want to nail the POS who stole her. I'm going to ensure that they go to jail. Fuck these people. I want revenge now. Fucking coward saw what was coming for him and left her on the side of the road. Just got off the phone with APD again. They said they have assigned the car to animal cruelty unit and have multiple officers working on the case.

Yes! Justice for Tux!

I hope Lyft fires the driver. There's no excuse for dumping someone's pet on the side of the road like trash. The barrier to entry for these apps must be real low.

If you have to go into the street to pick up your order, I don't see the point in food delivery. You might as well walk to the restaurant at that point.
