What a wild viewpoint, undocumented immigrants explaining why they are happy Trump won expressing jealousy of the support asylum seeking immigrants are getting. They encouraged their kids to support Trump and even fly MAGA flags and bumper stickers 🫠
But don't they understand undocumented means they are the illegals meanwhile asylum seekers get support because they are using a LEGAL path to immigration? Trump wants both types gone.

Ernest Hemingway once said: In our darkest moments, we don’t need solutions or advice. What we yearn for is simply human connection—a quiet presence, a gentle touch. These small gestures are the anchors that hold us steady when life feels like too much.
Please don’t try to fix me. Don’t take on my pain or push away my shadows. Just sit beside me as I work through my own inner storms. Be the steady hand I can reach for as I find my way.
My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me I’m not alone in this vast, sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reminder that I am worthy of love, even when I feel broken.
So, in those dark hours when I lose my way, will you just be here? Not as a rescuer, but as a companion. Hold my hand until the dawn arrives, helping me remember my strength.
Your silent support is the most precious gift you can give. It’s a love that helps me remember who I am, even when I forget.

I see Rust 1.83 was released today. [1] The major focus seems to be on enabling more things in const context. It'll be interesting to see how this might allow more logic [2] to be shifted from program startup time to compile time.

BTW, that post by @chadaustin ends:
> And I'm pretty sure I just recommended writing your entire application in C++, which sounds insane, even to me.
I agree about C++. But writing a whole desktop application in Rust is looking more and more tractable. Maybe someday I'll actually ship a non-trivial application that's a stand-alone executable and starts instantly, like I've always dreamed of doing.

As people may have noticed, we've had some issues with GitLab (repository, issues, merge requests, and documentation are all affected), and the admins have decided to move up the migration day to December 4, 2024:

Ideally, this should bring us back to a stable environment. Stay tuned for more information next week.

I'm hitting many bugs in @Tutanota these days. Typically, just this morning when I opened the Mail Android app, I got "Error message: You forgot to migrate your databases! sys.version should be >= 114 but in db it is 112", and a "404 Not Found" on a calendar event. For this last one, it's probably because I deleted the event from the Tuta Calendar app, but it didn't stop it from displaying a reminder for the deleted event... And the unread email counter is constantly wrong 😫
Happy Christmas!
Just to let you know that I got 2 reminders this morning for the deleted event I've already mentioned. Deleting the Calendar app's data and logging back in didn't fix the issue.
I sometimes get a 404 error for a calendar-related URL. A PUT request if I remember well. It's maybe linked to the same issue. I'll try to pay attention to the event ID in the URL, to see if it's always about the same event, and let you know.
And again today:

I’m slowing starting to think about what a 10 year anniversary update to my "The State of Mobile XMPP in 2016"¹ would look like.
It’s interesting what parts of the article are still relevant today (mostly how push works and how that impacts battery drain) while other parts are seemingly irrelevant. Yes, #XMPP works on mobile phones. Obviously. That’s how the overwhelming majority (⅔) of users uses XMPP².

In today’s CSSWG meeting, there was one issue about the new value of `text-wrap-style` property — `avoid-orphans`.
There was agreement in the meeting that we should look for a better name, and open a separate issue about this, which I did, as well as opened another one — about the `orphans` and `widows` properties.

If you are interested in what went wrong with the Kamala Harris campaign, this interview tells you all you need to know. Incredibly revealing.
While patting themselves on the back for the strategic decision to take a stand on nothing, they blame young voters for being “hard to reach,” voters in the battleground states for being “hard to win,” Democratic voters for “eating their own,” independent voters, the media, the passage of time, men, the internet–but never themselves or their candidate for losing the popular vote to a 34-times convicted felon.
In a just world, none of these fools would ever work in DC again, but they’ll probably just use their increased notoriety to get paid even more to ruin the next one.
