My state passed a law preventing HOAs from penalizing homeowners who xeriscape or eliminate their lawns. Can’t wait to stick it to them!

I’ve had my state ID in Apple Wallet for months. Apple specifically created a program to work with states to make this a reality.

Also, because I know what sub I'm in, before everyone crucifies me here because I work for an automaker, I do so because I want to make a change from the inside, and my job focus is primarily on making vehicles safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

Hey now, this is “cars” not “fuckcars”!

Makes sense that it was a definitions update that caused this, and I get why that’s not something you’d want to lag behind on like you could with the agent. (Putting aside that one of the selling points of next-gen AV/EDR tools is that they’re less reliant on definitions updates compared to traditional AV.) It’s just a bit wild that there isn’t more testing in place.

It’s like we’re always walking this fine line between “security at all costs” vs “stability, convenience, etc”. By pushing definitions as quickly as possible, you improve security, but you’re taking some level of risk too. In some alternate universe, CS didn’t push definitions quickly enough, and a bunch of companies got hit with a zero-day. I’d say it’s an impossible situation sometimes, but if I had to choose between outage or data breach, I’m choosing outage every time.

The fact that they weren’t already doing staggered releases is mind-boggling. I work for a company with a minuscule fraction of CrowdStrike’s user base / value, and even we do staggered releases.

Is that why I couldn’t figure out what was messed up at first? Same strain apparently…

Stooping to their level doesn’t make us better, it makes us just as bad as them.

I could not agree more. Aren’t we supposed to be the ones who care about democracy, about humanity, and about logic and reason?

Some innocent bystander died, and their family is going to sleep tonight without their loved one alive for the first time. Others are waiting anxiously in hospitals while their innocent loved ones are in critical condition. Fuck Trump, but no one deserves to have been killed or maimed for being at one of his rallies.

I hear what you’re saying, but I’m pretty sure Trump will support genocide way more than Biden has.

Yes, it’s absurd that this is what things have come to, but I’ll still be supporting the lesser of the two evils.

Wow, serious respect for Justice Evelyn Wilson. “The people spoke with their votes” is exactly the correct takeaway here, the court should not be overruling the lawfully enacted will of the public.

I wish that was the case, but having lived just south of Temecula, my experience is that it’s a pretty conservative area. Lots of Trump flags, lifted trucks, anti-lgbtqia protestors on street corners, etc. I think it could be leaning a little more moderate as more people from San Diego move there for the lower cost of living. But honestly I was (pleasantly) surprised to see this recall make it to the ballot, let alone actually pass.

YMMV, but my local library system has a limit on the number of e-books that can be checked out at a time. Some e-books they only have 1 or 2 “copies” of, other they have 20+ “copies”. Seems dumb to me that there’s a limit, but I’m sure they’re forced to do it for a reason.
