Every 10-20 years, a breakthrough technology promises non-developers to finally create software without needing to hire programmers.

So far, every such technology resulted in the need for more devs… expert in this NEW technology (or knowing how to fix it up).

Every. Time.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Yup. Microsoft automatically switched me to the $99.99/year version with Spicy Autocomplete. You have to go all the way through "cancel subscription" to be presented these options and get the $69.99/year one you actually chose.

Please do not use AI generated illustrations for your posts, blogs, etc. I prefer no pics or crappy clipart or whatever to obviously AI generated stuff. If you post AI generated pics I will most likely block you.

Why? AI pics are hella bad for the environment AND are built on the use of stolen art.
