With $3 billion you could easily 10x transit service for the 1 million+ people in Santa Clara County
In California’s far north, an audacious feat of highway engineering is crumbling toward the ocean. The fix is expected to cost upward of $3 billion.

Vivaldi is fine, but Chromium renderer based. I tried Waterfox (gets PDFs right!), but it's got some pretty b0rk3d autofill. I've written autofill for work project, so I suppose I could try to get the source code and fix it, but is there another Gecko-based project that's worth a look?

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

this will undoubtedly be harmful to FOSS
“The prohibited activities would include joint research, co-authorship on papers, and advising a foreign graduate student or postdoctoral fellow. The language is retroactive, meaning any interactions during the previous 5 years could make a scientist ineligible for future federal funding.”

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

I'm planning to head into SF on Saturday to go to the Emacs meetup from 11 to 1 on 24th a few blocks off Mission. Seems silly to not amortize the travel over multiple things, anyone got suggestions for other things to do?

Jon Ossoff warned about deepfakes. Now he is one.
A Mike Collins campaign video uses AI to make Sen. Jon Ossoff say outlandish things. A proposed state law would rein in such uses of AI in campaigns.
