security through obscurity is not security

That’s who I found when trying to learn things. Are her reported test results inaccurate?

corningware does contain lead in the glazes used for the colored patterns on the sides.

From my reading on the subject, vintage corningware baking dishes have high levels lead in the glazes used for the colored patterning. They seem to consistently test negative for lead on the white surfaces used for cooking.

Lead can get into your food as those colored patterns wear off, and the dishes get washed. It is a danger, but corningware isn’t directly marinating your food with lead.

Lead is still in many kitchen products. Its mainly in paints and colored glazes, and other coatings. Though corningware is bad, there are many other sources of lead in many other parts of the kitchen.

TIL every year with a rent increase is a recession. Whenever housing prices increase faster than income that’s a recession. When college tuition goes up faster than incomes that’s a recession.

so… its a news article in 2025?

Did a little reading on don bacon, the representative mentioned.

He represents nebraska’s 2nd district, a district where the majority voted for biden and harris. He is known for being a moderate republican who is noted for working bipartisanly. He retained his seat by a narrow 50.9%:49.1% margain.

Basically he’s one of the most likely republicans to support something like this. And if viewed purely cynically, with the slim margin of victory, he has an incentive to introduce bills to nowhere like this use for the upcoming 2026 reelection campaign.

Until this bill gets cosponsors or goes for a floor vote, it doesn’t indicate a breaking of ranks. He’s the kind of republican who often goes against the party line.

Probably for the same reason they’re against medicine

Honda has 16 factories in the us. Your next honda probably won’t be affected.

The Signal Foundation is a non-profit. The non-profit owns an LLC under the same name which publishes and develops the apps.

The software itself is open source, and licensed under AGPLv3, the same permissive license as lemmy and mastodon.

Calling them a private company with no motivation to disclose any failures in their security is pretty clearly untrue in whole.

so… how much did does the us government give its auto industry?

They gave us auto companies 81 billion between 2008 and 2014, and continue to subsidize the industry to this day.

…

biden basically did that already. ever noticed there are no byds on the road in the us?

i seem to recall it wasn’t an outright ban, but unreasonable tariffs on chinese evs specifically. a soft ban, but enough to be as effective.

They make bad small phones that people don’t buy because they’re bad, then conclude its because people don’t buy small phones.

They make phones like the palm palm, the second phone you have to pair to your other phone, for those days when the big phone is too big. Also the battery didn’t even last a day. When it doesn’t sell they say its because it was small, not the everything else.

It would be very different. It would be a place without diplomacy. Agreeing to not attack diplomats is the most important prerequisite for diplomacy.

If you can’t send someone to talk things out then war is the first and only way for nations to resolve any conflict. I don’t think you want to live in that world.

Well its good you’re not a diplomat.

What do you suggest a president do during a diplomatic meeting with another president other than saying words?

no. that’s thermodynamically impossible.

though it is true that fission and fusion are opposites, you cannot gain energy by fissing and fusing the same material. There’s an inverted bell curve where medium sized elements are the lowest energy state. You can get energy by making atoms more medium, fusing the smallest atoms or fissing the biggest ones. Doing the opposite costs energy.

If you look at the trans healthcare ban, for an example of how long lawsuits take. The executive order was signed on January 28th. 4 days after the executive order, Pflag’s lawsuit filed their lawsuit in federal court. 5 days after the EO, they submitted the motion for a temporary restraining order. It wasn’t until February 13th, a full 15 days since the filing of the EO that the judge ruled on the temporary restraining order blocking the EO from being in effect. There were a total of 15 days when that illegal order was enforceable before the courts went through the process of providing the quickest possible emergency remedy.

Even when going as fast as possible, and granting emergency relief, courts take long enough to cause real damage. 15 days to cause farmers these problems even if the spending freeze does eventually get blocked.

I’d much rather they make California the 13th province.

What specifically do you think that OSM maintainers should be doing to stop this instead of maintaining OSM?

Also coup has a p.
