1984

I had to do a web search to understand what uncapping meant... I guess its a sign that I dont follow these things very closely. :)

Uncapping refers to the idea of removing or raising the current cap on the number of members in the House of Representatives, which is currently set at 435.

The U.S. House of Representatives has had 435 members since 1913, except for a brief period from 1959 to 1963 when temporary members were added after Alaska and Hawaii became states. This number was capped permanently by the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929.

The call for "uncapping" the House has been a topic of discussion and debate among some activists and political analysts. They argue that the fixed number doesn't accommodate the growth of the U.S. population, leading to decreased representation for certain states and citizens as the population grows. For instance, when the cap was set in 1913, each representative served about 210,000 constituents. Today, with the U.S. population over 330 million, each representative serves an average of around 760,000 constituents.

Advocates for uncapping or raising the cap believe it would provide better representation and make the House more responsive to the needs of a larger and more diverse population.

This one is pretty cool for quick navigation. :)

As a very happy Kagi user since launch, I think you should check out this search engine. It's fantastic.

This was a very interesting read.

The final release of the GNOME 45 desktop environment is expected on September 20th, 2023.

Not long to go now. :)

I always look forward to new Gnome releases, and I still switch back and forth between Plasma and Gnome all the time...

How awesome is this!

Reminds me of all the beautiful personal web sites we used to have and visit just for fun.

Topics essentially works like this: rather than using cookies to track people around the web and figure out their interests from the sites they visit and the apps they use, websites can ask Chrome directly, via its Topics JavaScript API, what sort of things the user is interested in, and then display ads based on that. Chrome picks these topics of interest from studying the user's browser history.

Isn't this completely immoral? They are literally stealing the users private browsing history and uses it to boost their own profits.
