New comment by ssully in "Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court"

Except that isn’t relevant at all. This Supreme Court is completely cooked. If the case was “can Trump dissolve New York as a state” you would still have 3 justices siding in his favor with some dog shit reasoning.

I keep trying to call the White House to express my disapproval but they just call me a dumb lib and send a gang of ICE officers to my neighborhood to kidnap my neighbors.

New comment by ssully in "Design and Implementation of Sprites"

ssully — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 19:44:46 +0000

Sounds neat! Also kind of funny, because I already use Fly machines as a bit of a playground for some personal projects and really like it for that purpose. I have minor issues, some of which this blog post directly talks about, but nothing that has held me back.

Also I like a lot of what you get built-in with Fly machines(ex:Grafana). So I am curious how this would fit in my workflow. Maybe Sprites for rapid development and toy projects, and move to a Fly machine when I need something a little more beefy?

Looking forward to checking this out.

Biden did exactly what you are asking for in “massive investment and employment in industries with positive externalities” and your average voter didn’t give a shit.

I think distilling in that far is missing the point that this is a republican and right wing issue. It doesn’t “just so happen” that republicans are in power while this is happening, they are the ones who are doing it.

It’s not odd though. This administration has been very clear that they think things like rules of engagement or caring about collateral damage are bullshit.

On a weekly basis now, they are blowing up civilian boats without any evidence wrong doing. Even if they had evidence, it still wouldn’t warrant using hellfire missiles on civilian ships, especially when the U.S. navy or coastguard is more than capable of intercept these ships.

That isn’t how it works. Your own bubbles are green, all the “external” people in the chat have “regular” colors. Ex: I am using dark mode, so their bubbles show as dark for me, and mine are green.

Not saying this to defend Apple, but last week I had that same location tracking pop up for Apples Weather app.

This does not reinforce what OP originally claimed.

This is false.

If that’s true of raising a pet, than that person probably shouldn’t try raising a child.

Haven’t seen anyone mention how Apple is exploring deals with news publishers, like the NYTimes, to train its LLMs[1].

New comment by ssully in "Mister Rogers had a point – routinely greeting six neighbors maximizes wellbeing"

ssully — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 15:34:37 +0000

Big time. I have a neighbor about half a block from me that would harass me when I would walk my dogs by his house. Based on his behavior I assume he struggles with some mental issues.

The one positive is I avoid his house completely, so now my standard dog walking route is a block longer, so more exercise for me and the dogs.

Do you mean for work use, or for all their computing needs? I’ve never used a personal computer for work.

If you pull up behind a car stopped at a pedestrian crossing, your assumption should be they are stopped for a pedestrian.
