Just show them the graph. Can’t argue with hard data.

I’m an electrical engineer living in Los Angeles, CA.

The CA law is a prompt for self-reported age or birthdate. (1900 Jan 1, obviously.) This is not at all equivalent to “age verification” using ID or face scans.

The word “fluctuating” implies the price of gold has been going up and down. That is not what has happened since the Commander-In-Thief took office.
Market price of one ounce of gold over the last five years:

The word “everyone’s” is a possessive, and therefore needs an apostrophe.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Mo Validation Mo ProblemsEnglish
221·2 months agoJokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.
Except Greenland is a part of Denmark, so it should also have pink figures?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•AI’s Unpaid Debt: How LLM Scrapers Destroy the Social Contract of Open SourceEnglish
13·3 months agoA lot of open-source software uses copyleft licenses like GPL. If a company uses that code to build its own products, then some or all of their new code may also become open source. This is an important part of how open-source projects stay open. Organizations like FSF have taken big companies to court over this and won.
AI companies trained their slop-generators on that open-source code. In many cases, it will reproduce it line-for-line. But courts currently hold that the generated code is no longer subject to the original copyright restrictions. It’s nearly impossible to publish open-source software without being scraped for AI training.
“Then, there is a horrifying 512-ounce version that they call child size. How is this a child-sized soda?”
“Well, it’s roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied. It’s a real bargain at $1.59.”

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Clock but we saved DB space by just returning the index of the array of DigitNamesEnglish
8·5 months agoUTC has leap seconds. We can do better. PTP/TAI for lyfe.
A perfectly logical clock would use a radio broadcast to count off seconds since a predefined epoch. Put a few of them way up high, so more people can see it, and make them so astonishingly precise that you could tell where you are just by listening.
