If only there existed some kind of a language that was perhaps a bit safer regarding memory management.

Warum ihr euch im Bus immer IMMER! einen festen Halt suchen sollt, seht ihr hier:
Träge Masse und so.
Der Fahrlehrer hat aus nur 30 km/h gebremst, der Kollege wusste von der anstehenden Bremsung. Weißt du, wann wir notbremsen müssen, weil wir möglicherweise geschnitten und ausgebremst werden?

In germany it is called "Fürst Pückler" in many areas. At least the ice.
Okay, it needs to be sandwiched between two waffles...

Every time #Signal says that they will pull out of a country if some law is passed, they remind everyone that they are a single point of failure. How many times have you ever heard that email will pull out of a country if some surveillance law is passed?
EDIT: Yes, of course this has the usual flurry of people saying 'Don't like Signal? Use {thing that is worse than Signal and no one who cares about security takes seriously}'. Please just stop. I am using Signal because I have evaluated alternatives and Signal is the least bad. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop criticising it and it doesn't mean I'm going to use something worse.
American cities can be split up into two groups: ones where jaywalking is enforced and ones where jaywalking is not enforced.

Climate and environmental collapse, inequality, failing public services - but hey, this is fine… as long as billionaire fortunes and lives are safe. Right?

It’s time to stop letting the super-rich dodge responsibility.

@brainwane How do you get people to pronounce your own name correctly? Or have you, like I have, given up?
@RaoOfPhysics There are many situations where I just do not care enough to do the work of teaching someone else how to pronounce my name, and would prefer to spend that time doing something else.
But sometimes someone needs to introduce me on stage, or they are a friend or colleague who will be saying my name a lot (where I can hear it), or for whatever other reason I would prefer they get it right, or not jarringly wrong.
I provide a recording on my website at https://harihareswara.net/about/ . And in-person I scaffold their learning by using a word they're familiar with and that has pretty much the right cadence and vowel sounds: "rhymes with woman-uh."
The Index: Issue #182
It’s Friday, so let’s close out the week with some Good Links™ in The Index #182, sponsored by the great folks at DebugBear
In April 1994 I started working on the Opera browser with Geir Iversøy, my co-founder. I worked at Opera for 17 years, leaving it after disagreeing with investors about the way forward. Two years later I co-founded @Vivaldi with Tatsuki Tomita and Anne Stavnes. This was in 2013.
For more than 30 years we have provided alternatives to Big Tech. First with Opera and now with Vivaldi. The focus has always been quite different from our competitors. More features, more privacy, more flexibility. Lately it has also meant the choice to avoid things like Crypto and Blockchain, avoid integrating AI and avoid integrating surveillance. This is not given. Most of our competitors are building in one or more of the above.
If you like what we are doing and our stand, feel free to download Vivaldi. If you are already with us, please tell your friends.

@nik Sorry for not being tech-fluent enough to use the proper terms... That doesn't excuse your whataboutism and your dismissive attitude about an issue that real and true.
