This is 100% within my expectations of how long it would take.

At the moment you can't really trust the US with anything.

I think my life's too short to ever read your READMEs.

The life ist too short to read AI generated README, which are clearly not written for humans..

>Eh, the guy was armed at a protest.

I thought that was a constitutional right?

Yeah, and--assuming Pretti was carrying at all--he did everything perfectly, never brandishing or even touching it.

FFS, I'd wager the ICE thugs didn't even think Alex had a weapon at all, not until they had already (A) shoved him (B) pepper-sprayed his face and (C) yanked him from the other disabled protester he was trying to shield and (D) threw the blinded Alex to the ground on his knees with both hands down on the pavement.

To be more specific, since there are different angles out there, I'm referring to these [0][1], where one of the ICE agents can be seen removing something from Alex's belt.

Then, almost immediately, the adjacent ICE agent draws and shoots the blinded, restrained, and unarmed Alex Pretti, putting ~4 bullets into his back from behind.

It is. The MAGA subset of the right suddenly doesn’t care about the second amendment. I guess that should be expected after they’ve shown they don’t care about the first (people recording ICE) or fourth (warrantless raids) amendments too.

iMessage really isn't popular in Europe. Although the fact that any SMS sent between two iPhones automatically converts into an iMessage message means that there are definitely (accidental) users.

iCloud login is still optional on macOS. Can't download stuff from the App Store and I think some continuity things require iCloud, but otherwise pretty solid.

Are you allowed to invoice suspects for code reviews?

According to some sources, 1 in 4 Americans don't/can't save at all.

For those unaware of the context, there's a banger tweet: https://x.com/neilzegh/status/2013679440362975315

This doesn't surprise me at all as an European. My mind struggles to understand how so many Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

that's true to some extent, but at this point it's mostly a meme (at least the 60% number was)

> In 2023, 54 percent of adults said they had set aside money for three months of expenses in an emergency savings or “rainy day” fund—unchanged from 2022 but down from a high of 59 percent of adults in 2021.

That’s way higher than I’d have guessed. Maybe there is some sort of bimodal distribution happening there. Half the pop is flat broke the other has multiple months of buffer
