The title really lacks context. The "person in Russia in the group chat" is Witkoff, the US official in charge of the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East

Chromium is much more secure than Firefox, so your privacy depends on your threat model here: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

She's not even anti-trans, but she's "tired of hearing about it" and all the "pandering the left does"

Compared to outside of the US, this is true, but within the US he was pretty leftist. He publicly supported UBI, pushed for renewables, donated to the Obama and Hillary campaign, etc. Now he's anti-trans, pro-Trump x1000, but there used to be a time he cared.

Couldn't agree more on the sea charting. The whole interface for it put me off as low effort and non-immersive

The left has undeniably alienated some of their group (my mum was alienated by trans rights, I was alienated by the DNC, Elon was allegedly alienated by Biden's EV push ignoring Tesla), but I think the bigger problem is the left doesn't fight for things people care about.

The right are the only ones in the news cycle (look at how many articles we have about Trump, even when he wasn't president) which, to anyone who doesn't treat politics like sports teams, makes you obviously see a thing or true that you support Republicans on. This imo is the critical flaw of the left; I now have no reason to be excited about their platform, and I'm completely numb to anything they say negatively about Trump.

It's a loaded question, if the transparency reports are enough they'll likely cover whatever the law requires.

The real question is basically should companies report environmental impact for AI training; I'm on the fence for this. It sounds good on paper, but will it cause investment overseas and is it the most useful place to burden companies?

When you're applying to jobs, you should be a little more diligent about picking up the phone and checking your email. It sucks but no one's gonna do it for you.

It's unusual for the response to go to the spam folder, but I guess now you know? Go apply some more, and watch your spam folder this time.

Good, we don't actually want [email protected]

Wait, this article is insane. Not the part about Signal, not the part about accidentally inviting a journalist, not the part that it's real, but how intelligent the people in the chat actually sound. What a joke they perform on live TV acting all dumb for their voters to eat up

Holy, Paris is based

This was the third such referendum in Paris in as many years, following a 2023 vote that approved a ban on e-scooters, and a decision last year to triple parking charges for large SUVs.

Banning e-scooters is dumb because they replace cars, but the triple parking charges for large SUVs is amazing

The 500 additional streets to be pedestrianised will bring the total number of these so-called "green lungs" to nearly 700, just over one-tenth of the capital's streets.

So based.

I work in big tech. 10 years ago, nobody was talking about going back to India, Pakistan, and to an extent, China. Now, people are talking about it. They're talking about Indian stocks, Indian houses, and dreams of retiring to go back.

Most people aren't - but the number is now non-zero.

 
 
 

Basically, I want to make an artistic QR code of a website I made for my girlfriend, and then ship her a jigsaw puzzle of the QR code art.

There's lots of services online that generate AI image QR codes, but the problem is they all max out at like 1024x1024. I need something at least 5x bigger than that for a physical, 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. If I use an upscaler, it looks uncanny when you zoom in.

Basically, I want to make something like this, but much higher res: https://i.imgur.com/TeDvEgL.png

Any ideas?

 
 

This is really interesting stuff, found it on Hacker News. It's like WINE, but for Android <-> Linux: https://gitlab.com/android_translation_layer/android_translation_layer/
