"An Ohio initiative that would legalize marijuana for recreational use officially qualified for this November's ballot yesterday"

"the Ohio initiative would set a minimum purchase and possession age of 21. Adults 21 or older would be allowed to publicly possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana—the same as the limit in Michigan but higher than the one-ounce maximum in Illinois—and grow up to six plants at home."

I got four identical notifications for this poll ending.

Remember Digimon?

"Free software is the anti junk food part of tech."

Lol.

Uh, free as in freedom, not free as in paying nothing (although, it's usually that too).

Some web browser developers used to go on about how great AVIF would be.

But, I'm not understanding how it's better than just using a PNG or a JPG. It isn't more efficient, I've tested that myself.

I don't think it's inherently bad, all things being equal, but neither do I see a real advantage to anyone who isn't a web browser developer implementing an image algorithm. I guess it might be more free.

Surprisingly enough, I'm actually encountering .avif images in the wild (and they're compatible with, it seems, precisely nothing except for my web browser).

A dark anime which I liked a fair bit was Hell Girl or Jigoku Shoujo. Tales of vengeance...?

It's a good one to try out. #anime

It's practical effects were worse than you might think.
