Scent sensitivity is a real, and ADA protected, disability. Why do I have to have an asthma attack or a migraine because someone has to express themselves through chemical warfare? Perfumes are as bad for people's health as second hand smoke, and one in twenty or so people everywhere feel just like I do.
I've never heard of this or if I have, I don't remember it.
It's an open source IDE that's Delphi compatible. The author of the article is trying to make a Mac app.
* Downloads are from an ad-ridden SourceForge page.
* I download Lazarus I don't get a nice little Mac app... I get a folder full of stuff
* Starting the app, macOS tells me “lazarus” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.
* On the project screenshots page, ReactOS is shown before macOS and macOS screenshots are from a while ago.
Contrast that experience with... VSCodium, the open source community version of VSCode.
* Download is from GitHub, no ads.
* Downloads a disk image with a familiar pattern
* Drag the VSCodium app bundle to my Applications folder
* I get prompted if I want to open it as it's something downloaded... and VSCodium opens (slowly at first) -- up pops a message saying I've downloaded the x86 version by mistake and I should download the ARM64 version and there's a link to do it... downloading the correct version and it opens instantly.

All of this to say... with any project, open source or proprietary there is a sense of native/correctly packaged for your OS that's obvious, and if a project doesn't do that I wonder if anyone is using it for that OS.
It seems like AI will generate opportunities for fixing code. Both in reducing internal technical debt ("code maintenance", which is a specialized skill already) and external technical debt (architecture, which is being built by AI also). Eventually AI will be good enough for both of these things as well, and then we may just become the priests of the Temples of Syrinx.
I don't trust anyone, least of all an elected official. Was my actual point not clear to you, and this is why you moved the goalposts of the conversation?
Bureaucracy is there to protect us from people like Trump and Elon. Congress can pass laws and the president can issue orders. This action threatens the US financial system, which threatens the economic stability of most of the world. In terms of human suffering this could have massive impact. We now have a psychopath (well, at least one) with his fingers around our throats. We're all waiting to see what comes next, but it won't be good.
No there hasn't. When someone named the 6 DOGE guys kicking in doors at OPM and TReasury Musk spluttered on his social media platform that the person was committing a crime by naming them and then deleted the person's account.
What have you actually learned? And consider that there's no way for anyone to argue that information was already available to the public, because the main activity of DOGE so far ahs been taking government web pages or entire domains offline. With no organized archival process, how do you equate significantly less availability of information with 'transparency'?
I mean, I've been watching my feed scroll by with the various monetary alotments they've discovered. Finally, someone's taking a critical glance at the $$ dedicated to increasing atheism in Tibet (no, I'm not kidding).
Wow, your feed tells you you're better informed now? Compared to what? As I pointed out, you have no way to check how much of this information was previously published, a point you chose to ignore.
I'm curious about whether you ever attempted to find details of USAID spending, pulled budget docs from their site or filed a FOIA request or anything like that. If you had done so and run into a brick wall, I would understand your saying that there had been a lack of prior transparency. But your posts reads as if someone just drew your attention to something you weren't aware of before, and you've mistaken that for transparency when in fact it's just a talking point designed to grab your attention.
I'm sorry, but reason magazine has personally made my life difficult by participating in medical gaslighting. There may be something to some of this, but I'm not inclined to trust them at face value.
