Americans can’t afford healthcare or rent. They aren’t happy supporting the UN anymore. If the world needs the organization it’ll find others for funding.
The US is part of the world.

I had a “hit” post on bsky [0] (90 likes, big numbers for me) asking whether people would want an unlimited mobile plan throttled at 256kbps for $2/month. Seems like yes?
There’s lots to say about how useable it is (I often get throttled when traveling and it’s really not that bad + it helps curb any desire to scroll videos!)
But mainly I want to ask - I looked into it for a minute and it seems like you couldn’t start an mvno because carriers wouldn’t let you cannibalize them?
You can get very cheap IoT plans but if you tried reselling IoT as esims for consumers, the carriers would kill it?
So yeah - Starlink to mobile is actually the only viable way that routes around this problem?
(((email in profile if you’re cuckoo enough like me and want to start a self service’d throttled mvno)))

I thought this was some crazy CSS syntax I've never seen before:
background: @shaders(
fragment { }
vertex { }
texture { }
);
Indeed, there was an old CSS Shaders feature (in Chrome, behind a flag) behind from way back around 2013 [1]. Unclear if there's been any development since.

So the main news is that they're giving up on develping an independent IDE and turning into another VS code fork. The loss of biodiversity and reliance on a no-so-reliable steward is mildly concerning.
