clearly the answer is socialized medicine, so then everyone will be paid fairly no matter who they treat

something similar happened in the last city I lived... the fire station caught on fire because they left the gas on running out of the building to go fight another fire. There's an automatic shutoff now

reminds me of a tumblr post about a person who worked at a restaurant prepping garlic. They observed that their hands smelled really nice and it reminded them that "I too, am made of meat, and I too, can be seasoned"

oh absolutely! to borrow a metaphor, dev is DPS for customer problems, coms is tanking. Even if everyone(!) thinks we understand everything perfectly, dealing with all those inputs is not where we're best used

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

yeah, they didn't want to fix their process so they put a layer of abstraction & blame over their existing broken process

that was an option for a discount/cursed version of a bag of holding... cheaper, but everything comes out covered in glitter

in case TL;DR: all social media CEOs are being threatened with revocation of Section 230 for them (end game, basically, no way back out of that) if they don't take a hard line against CK posts and ban violators. I'm sure it's not being enforced evenly, but the threat is there

I just saw this this morning, apparently their very existence is being legally threatened. I still don't agree! but this is certainly some context bsky.app/profile/know...

But no matter how you slice it, it's bad that Jay's name is on this list of CEOs, all the rest of whom have kissed the ring the US.

I might have to give this another look for work. It looks like it's adding a useful per-change log (I use PhpStorm's Local History feature for that, but it's not git-compatible, and I don't always touch files in that IDE)
