Rising stars in the Democratic Party are promoting their tech modernization teams in a post-DOGE political landscape.

The point of the article is that this intervention is actively harmful for exactly the same reasons raised by experts a long time ago.

> In my opinion, that's better than doing nothing at all.

This attitude is wrong IMO. The issue with high-profile half-baked interventions is that they distract from real unsexy solutions like grab the plastic in rivers BEFORE they make it to the ocean.

This is self-evident from data on their own website! https://theoceancleanup.com/sources/ . River mouths/estuaries are also some of the most densely populated regions in the world. This bites in that it is easy for plastic to enter the ocean. But it's also a lot easier to run cleanup at the source, next to humans, rather than 3000km away in the middle of the ocean.

What's the best reader for KOReader? I'm in the market for a new one and would like one that handles everything a kindle does not.

To this excellent list, I would humbly add Bhavana: https://bhavana.org.in/

Hmm I couldn't get it to work with video chat so I should try again

To clarify, I had nothing to do with the making of this service. Discovered it last night, loved it, and decided to share.

So sad that netflix doesn't have it any more

This vaguely sounds like MIDI to me

I hope we get group video calls and video calls on desktop soon

Welcome to you who have come to zombocom!

I had the same thought

Yeah I agree. Zulip is really good. It's a nice mix of email+chat. I much prefer it over slack.

Unless (like me) you write your papers in org-mode too!

I agree. emacs-jupyter is great but I'm eagerly waiting for jupyter notebook server support since my work is on remote clusters now. For local use, it's pretty great.

Oh man, that's basically org-babel [0] but with working jupyter server support!

I recently discovered that Umatrix has something like this. One of the buttons gives you the ability to click to enable common subsets e.g. "GitHub" , "reCAPTCHA" etc.

This is so annoying! Do you know what needs to be whitelisted?

And sometimes you need eagles

I think they need to go through this: http://www.samosapedia.com/by_language/english

Great way to timepass btw.

Mine was unbearably slow even with Cyanogen installed. How is it working out for you?

From a single datapoint, senior citizens prefer speaking into the phone instead of typing out long messages.

I use Qalculate which is awesome and has similar features.

I have this one and the thing that sticks up pokes my wrist all day. I don't think a human tested it for any amount of time.

Is there one that can do matrix digital rain like effects?

Ugh, just hope it doesn't spark another "war against christianity" thing
