POSSIBLE NEW ICE TACTIC TO DETAIN MIGRANTS

Detained by ICE, he was selling his car, and they trapped him posing as buyers. The moment the hood pops, likely a prearranged signal, unmarked vehicles rush in. More agents emerge. No one identifies themselves. Within minutes, the man is kidnapped.

This is why it's important to hire a diverse team, any single person that played with Lego would know you ain't building shit with blocks stacked like that. (Ladder insurance incase you are wondering)

New safety laws going into effect around the globe eliminate the relative anonymity that we have continued to expect online, even as social media has collapsed the boundaries between our physical and digital lives, @chaykak.bsky.social writes.
The Internet Wants to Check Your I.D.
New safety rules require users to verify their identities before gaining access to sites. This spells the end of the relative anonymity that we’ve come to expect online.

It's not even funny how much Apple disrespects developers, do they not even build apps in house? Cause if they did they know there systems and tools are terrible

.@jetbrains.com seems to have an obsession with moving everything into tabs, dialogs are great, easy to dismiss, easy to resize, don't interfere with main coding window.
Anyone else find this push odd?
