MORE USPS FUCKERY
The USPS just changed the meaning of a postmark. Under the old rules, when you dropped the mail off at the post office was the postmark date.
Now, the postmark is the date your mail was first processed by an automated center.
If you drop your mail off Monday but it doesn't get processed until Wednesday, Wednesday is the new postmark date.
Yes, this can affect taxes, healthcare, and-- not coincidentally, I'm sure-- ELECTIONS.

USPS Announces Changes to the Postmark Date System
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has adopted a final rule (FR Doc.nstp.org
but this is how it always was. If you drop your mail off into their possession (big blue drop box) but they don't pick it up until tomorrow and process it at the local post office, the postmark is tomorrow not today ...
Yes they will absolutely use this as a way to sceew with mail in ballots by disrupting processing of those too close to the deadline (understaff, shutdown USPS, etc) and now there will be little chance of successfully challenging it. At this point Trump could legally fire EVERYONE at USPS weeks before the election to screw everyone over too and he probably will.
i guess another example is if you drop off late Saturday it wouldn't be postmarked until Monday. If Monday is a holiday, now its Tuesday ...
I guess we have to expect postmark can be up to 4 days in the future now with centralized processing -- or more if they play dirty politics
The conversation about AI is exhausting, and I'm finding myself more and more talking with my friends about its dangers and downfalls.
I definitely see a new level of awareness and skepticism coming from non-tech people, which is great.
One question that sometimes come up with people wanting to learn how to code is "Is it worth even doing it with all this AI self coding tools?"
Hell yeah! Absolutely! Technical literacy is even more important now than ever!

Should you learn to code in the age of "AI"?
In a time when the sentence "junior developers will be replaced by AI" is heard multiple times a day, does it make sense learning how to code?Yes, now more t...YouTube
is an open carry state now.
