I'm curious ( I'm not in FL )

So it rapidly decreased in intensity a hour or so before landfall? I know someone near Tampa that they lost their car and home, but overall damage is significantly less than what happened in the Carolina mountains from Helene, is that correct?

Any ideas why it deintensified so? Is it worse than I understand? Pretty much everywhere reads like this ended up being far less destructive than anticipated, but that the anticipated storm and destruction would have been record setting.

I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it's called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don't remember the page.

Static, nested menus are superior.

This shows so much privilege. Apartments, townhomes, condominiums. Sometimes you're scrolling through pages of Wi-Fi networks from your neighbors looking for your own SSID right next to the device.

Yeah, you can't do shit about open Wi-Fi networks near you and promiscuous devices.

Eventually decentralized services with anonymity will be killed by the EU, they already want to stop all text encryption, the way anyone can stand up a server and run it however it's already in conflict with the GDPR.

Microsoft saw Google and Apple do this with phones, and Steam do this with games, and that's why they made the Windows store a thing starting with 8.

They wanted to go the same direction.

Yes, that's the implication, and it's certainly intentional for you to think of it like that.

Unironically yes, you would not know who Spiderman was without viewing a copyrighted work demonstrating what he looks like, and now you understand while generative AI fundamentally has to ingest copyrighted works.

Not true in the US, but commonly stated by Americans like it's fact.

European Union regulation will probably threaten the very principles that the Fediverse functions on, potentially making Lemmy illegal anywhere in the EU because it's not auditable enough, or doesn't meet data retention or some kind of consumer privacy law.

The EU is a threat to the Fediverse unfortunately.

There is essentially no way to enforce, or even monitor this, like it's fundamentally impossible without controlling everything from stl creation, to weapon construction.
