The article title (now?) has a second line which IMO is important to include in the headline. The whole title is currently:

Trump Named Delcy Rodríguez Venezuela’s Interim President and a US Partner in Governing the Country

Two Hours Later, She Publicly Rejected Washington, Called It an Aggressor, and Reaffirmed Loyalty to Nicolás Maduro

From the article:

US president Donald Trump said that Delcy Rodriguez had been sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and had agreed to act in partnership with Washington—effectively allowing the United States to run the country.

“In essence, she is prepared to do what we believe is necessary to make Venezuela great again,” Trump said.

Less than two hours later, Rodriguez, who had previously served as vice-president under Nicolas Maduro, delivered a televised address to Venezuelans in which she made clear that she regarded the United States as an illegal occupier whose actions must be rejected.

“We are determined to be free,” she said. “What is being done to Venezuela is barbarism.”

Straight up theft, then

Weird list, appears to include both antisemitic and anti Zionist events, and even includes the fake caravan bomb?

In case you’re unaware, he runs an excellent Australian economics podcast called Dollars and Sense.

Looks like it was accurate at it’s peak in 2008

Have you moved since you were a kid? I was surprised to learn not long ago that the type of tree used for Christmas trees is regional.

Near me it’s radiata pine. If I remember correctly, Douglas Fir is the most common in the US but there are many others available. Wikipedia has a long list of common tree types

I’ve recently started a handful of projects exploring the rust gui ecosystem and the experience has been… disappointing.

• The most mature native library I’ve seen is Druid, which is deprecated in favour of Xilem. Xilem is highly experimental.

• Slint is somehow used by several industry partners, yet is incapable of rendering flowing text documents, and only just brought in text formatting (via Xilem’s text library oddly enough).

• Egui seems a bit more capable, but it has the usual downsides of immediate mode gui without any of the typical upsides (you can’t intermingle gui elements with logic, the gui has to all go in one place).

• Dioxus is reasonably capable but is absolutely webtech focused, which seems likely anathema to Op.

• Iced I haven’t used beyond hello world, and I didn’t enjoy that experience.

AFAICT the most mature rust gui libraries are the rust bindings for C’s GTK and C++'s Qt.

I also - somewhat controversially - disagree with “very well documented”. Rust projects consistently have published API references - which is great! The actual quality of the API references is mixed. Actual documentation - such as intended usage, common patterns, design intent - are much more sparse. Of the GUI libraries I listed, only Dioxus and Slint come close.

I’ve used GTK and WxWidgets for C programs. GTK is more powerful but takes longer to get used to its idioms as I recall

God forbid you don’t squeeze every drop out of your customers

Every time

Word suggestions/spell checking are not included in the current releases and are a major goal for the v0.6 milestone.

I’ve been watching Florisboard since before that text read “v0.5”. It’s a good keyboard but can’t be a daily driver for me without that.

Heck there have been people arrested for posting Trump or Charlie Kirk comments unedited.

In Australia?

The ETS was widely considered to be worse than doing nothing for climate issues. Rudd’s government refused to talk to third parties over the ETS, and exclusively negotiated with the coalition. A year later the Gillard government actually talked to the cross bench and much, much better policy was passed.

The HAFF was passed, but only after the cross bench managed to eke out amendments to make it actually commit to doing something.

Both of those policies started as pure virtue signaling, and ended up doing material good only in spite of Labor.

(I don’t know anything about the logging ban)

Unfortunately, it matters less what people want than what these people want

Of the 227 sitting MPs and senators, only 12 declared no property ownership.

Several senators are on the list, although we cannot be sure this provides an exhaustive picture because the property holdings of senators’ spouses are not published.

Some in this group declared a financial interest in trusts but were not required to disclose any property held in those trusts.

I literally cannot understand how Outlook is so awful and unpleasant to use. Constant pauses, regular freezes and a search that will show a document I sent to myself five years ago regardless of search terms but won’t surface the perfect match I received yesterday, in the world’s most prominent email client.

The only worse software I have to interact with on a daily basis is Adobe’s PDF reader, which gives me five popups within one minute of opening it and takes over a minute to do a text search in a five page document.

Ah, fair point. When someone says “org-mode” I think of the file format usually, but I guess that’s probably not what colournoun was saying.

But also, apparently Emacs is on android

There are at least two org-mode apps on f-droid

It looks like you can apply even if you don’t know you’re affected and they (KPMG) will determine eligibility, but that’s a lot of personal information for a “maybe”
