If you’re doing it over an app, without the chance for the person you’re dumping to respond, I see no risk of things turning nasty

I’m generally against the idea of planting as many trees as possible.
Trees are not very good carbon sinks because they decompose and burn. Also, there are also some ecological communities where adding trees makes the land a worse carbon sink.
Avoiding cutting down forests to build suburbs is something I can certainly get behind though.
ls is actively maintained. The headline is referencing exa, which is unmaintained. eza is a fork of exa.
Polls have a margin of error and election results have generally been within the 80% confidence interval 80% of the time.
It is true that when there are less polls (like in special elections) it’s harder to get an understanding of the state of the race.
Polls have been remarkably accurate in the last few election cycles.
The “polls are wrong” talking point is a convenient way for politicians to ignore the will of the people. Trump has done this for a long time, and recently Biden has taken up this practice to pretend that the “Real Americans” think he is fit to be president for another 4 years.
So please don’t repeat this talking point, or at least read a bit into historical accuracy of polls before you declare them bullshit.
Biden is absolutely not leading. State polling has him behind in every swing state. Nate Silver’s model gives Biden a 30% chance of winning, slightly down from the debate.
In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.
I think this isn’t a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it’s unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.
I don’t see the connection between neurodivergence and phones
I’ve received the advice that you should always make your charts so that you numbers are proportional to a length, since people aren’t good at comparing areas (or volumes).
So the numbers here probably ought to be proportional to diameters
Short haul flights should probably be high speed train rides anyway
Snuggling – never. And this doesn’t apply only to men, it applies to women whom I don’t find attractive as well.
What about nonhuman animals? Do you dislike cuddly dogs?
Yes, so I can probably plan for it.

I guess I didn’t notice when I opted in, and couldn’t find a way to opt out when I realized it was broken
If I want to have security, I would use a different communication protocol. I find it unacceptable for an SMS app to change quietly change to a different protocol, particularly if it causes messages to fail to send.
I found Google messages to be unreliable: refusing to send a SMS if the Internet connection is bad. The signal that the message failed to send is a single hollow checkmark.
I switched to fossify messages, which just sends SMSs or MMSs and doesn’t create its own flawed messaging protocol
How would virtual environment software, like conda, work without $PATH?
The goal of the zig language is to allow people to write optimal software in a simple and explicit language.
It’s advantage over c is that they improved some features to make things easier to read and write. For example, arrays have a length and don’t decay to pointers, defer, no preprocessor macros, no makefile, first class testing support, first class error handling, type inference, large standard library. I have found zig far easier to learn than c, (dispite the fact that zig is still evolving and there are less learning resources than c)
It’s advantage over rust is that it’s simpler. Ive never played around with rust, but people have said that the language is more complex than zig. Here’s an article the zig people wrote about this: https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp/
Electric cars are bad for the environment since they require mineral mining and polute the city with micoplastics from tire dust. They are almost as bad as ICE cars.
Ebikes are the way to go.
