I secretly have forgotten a lot of the working code I wrote months ago; and whenever someone asks, I need to go back and read it like new

Sometimes it’s better to hope while closing eyes

A lot of people turn off js to avoid tracking, or for performance, or they are calling the search in scripts, or they are doing illegal deals in their browser. There are dozens of reasons to do this.

I’m USA based and this will impact future protests : not just the search but all google services must be avoided in the future.

This will also break tens of thousands of scripts

Twitter ( X run by the twit) and Facebook do the very same but worse . I wonder why they were not banned?

Yes, not having all eggs in same basket is good

I have my domains at namecheap. No drama. Sometimes they live up to their name, would not use their hosting services.

When I use the domains elsewhere , I just enter the name server URL’s in their web gui from the 1990s.

Over the years I have heard bad stuff about them too

I would pay billions to make this timeline to happen

There are dozens of us; but I am scared to use go daddy now , not just for all the horror and cut back tech support, or for it’s shady business practices, or deceptive marketing.

But because I heard that they keep stealing valuable ip and domains

In Reddit, years ago, I was writing about protecting endangered whales. Apparently it was quite the pro whaling community that day. Never knew I could get more than -100 downvotes, but I far surpassed that

He will be back for the next bug

Wildly depressing!

Texas is large. There will always be suppression, cheating, small victories for the good guys, and strangeness.

It’s probably never been a real democracy where each person can cast one ballot that is always counted as it should be. It wasn’t in most of the 1800s, was not during the civil rights era, and is not today.

But the methods of cheating have charged since the 1990s, and only exist now because very few people in Texas, who talk politics, understand democracy has two parts: the voting and the counting. And one should never trust the counters. Or trust but verify.

I totally like the energy, but there is no proof these are valid elections. The democrats in Texas consistently underperform against polls.

If this was a real democracy there would be proof.

While I do get it few here think this is an issue. There would be rioting in France should these same standards show up there.

Elected representatives can fight, yes.

I don’t think the election of the at least some of representatives by the people are above board. But the winners can do things others can’t.

Don’t think far right can be resisted statewide at all times. Too far gone.

But holding actions would be good to buy some time

That seems like good news in that this may block some harmful legislation!

I’m out of the loop here, how will this affect Texas?

I guess all the corruption and moral collapse allows me, who has absolutely no clue about law, to actually have educated guesses how important cases are voted.

I simply ask myself “how would a bad person decide?”

And it sounds like in your case you need new and fancy, if I had to start over I would do arch

I have to use some programming tools and languages to code; installing them side by side and updating was a major hassle. Now I just have some aliases in command prompt.

Docket desktop was a major religious experience for me; much easier than before

Ever since docker became available, along with flatpak; the Linux running these became less of an issue for me
