They are resisted because they threaten the status quo of the oligarchs and the useful idiots they are able to convince. In my country, they mostly do it by doing barbecues, concerts during the campaign, giving people in the countryside buckets, umbrellas a bag of rice and bottle of oil, and lots of TV and TikTok propaganda. In the US, religion seems to plays a much bigger role.

We've known for years that starting school at 08.00 is detrimental to school-aged children and teenagers, but we keep doing it.

But work is ~~9-5~~ 9-6, can't have flexible hours. Everyone knows a busy employee is less likely to get weird ideas like unionizing.

We've known for years that WFH can be just as productive and even more so than RTO, but we keep doing it.

But you can't control and micromanage the ~~slave~~ employee if they aren't physically present at work. And also, we need to keep the employee busy on the 1-2hr commute, see above point.

We've known for ages that housing homeless people helps them and society much better than criminalizing them, but we keep doing it.

You mean the poor landlords lose the bread from their mouth and not get paid rent?

We've known for ages that repressive stances on drugs are counterproductive, but we keep doing it.

Stealing the bread of our poor military complex and police forces? Can't have that.

We've known for ages that a 4-day workweek results in gains for everyone, including the owner class themselves, yet we keep on doing 5.

My point is that it's literally a class war between the oligarchs in power and the rest of us.

Having worked on a product that actually did this, it's not as easy as it seems. There are many ways of drawing text on the screen.

GDI is the most common, which is part of the windows API. But some applications do their own rendering (including browsers).

Another difficulty, even if you could tap into every draw call, you would also need a way to determine what is visible on the screen and what is covered by something else.

I also wanted to mention that DDG doesn't really say what editorial changes they make to the results. I would like to see more transparency.

Only recently started using searngx. I would love to see more search engines implement their own indexing and ranking, instead of relying on other engines.

But I am aware that making a good search engine is hard. Even with all their flaws, google and Bing still have the best results, which is why most other engines rely on their results.

Which is just bing with a few extra editorial changes that aren't really transparent.

It's been 4 fucking years since Trump has left office. A regular person would never get his trial delayed for that long. If a trial can be delayed for 4 fucking years just because the accused is a powerful individual, it means that the rule of law doesn't apply the same to everyone. If powerful people are exempt from the rule of law, democracy is dead.

One of those tiny low power PCs with OpenSense is a good alternative, but a bit more work. The only downside is that you need a separate switch and wifi access point.

A much bigger impact would have tearing down all the stupid parking spaces and changing zoning regulations to build higher density housing. The urban sprawl is unsustainable long term.

Losing the internet archive would be such a huge loss... I really hope they have a backup plan in case things go bad legally.

And it's made of thin stainless steel sheets with sharp corners and edges

Will valve allow accounts to exist indefinitely? Will they create an expiration policy, like accounts being closed after 100 years

Having a curated whitelist would definitely be a good idea, but if it only shows information from a limited list of websites, that would make it a terrible search engine incapable of searching most of the web.
