It's astounding that the UK has the sixth-largest economy, yet one in three children lives in poverty.
The aggregate average income sits ~£204bn below per capita GDP (40,375 / 37,430).
£36bn is annually "lost" through tax avoidance/evasion loopholes.
But of course, migrants are the problem…

I think it's about time I finally pulled the plug and switched my main rig from Windows to Linux.
Been trying to play Cyberpunk for the last few weeks with mysterious "device stopped responding to commands" errors before even reaching the first job; we're talking gameplay time of 6 mins max.

As a native Spanish speaker, it baffles me the dissonance between written and oral languages in English.
For instance, you write "BlueSky is a dead echo chamber for libs", but it reads "I want to post slurs without being blocked".

After playing around with it for a little while, I'm REALLY torn about x402
Pro: It's an incredibly seamless way to pay for content, provided you already have a wallet set up
Con: it feels like a track to further enshittification of the internet with everything being behind PPV microtransactions

Has anyone noticed that uncached DNS resolution has been awful for the last few days when using @tailscale.com ? Even with Magic DNS disabled, the first resolution time is north of 400ms (using Quad9 with CF as backup / Tailscale 1.80.2 App Store variant)

Starting to get the urge to get back into doing project write-ups with some of the stuff I've been experimenting with over the last few weeks.
Latest project, composing and marshalling 1000 transactions per response and hitting 5.2k rps on a single 0.25 VCPU instance 👀

Watching @hellopeter.dev from afar, increasing in velocity, rapidly approaching the thought of "sure, I'll try setting up Kubernetes, it can't be *that* bad", followed by the 90 degree learning curve

Genuine question, does anyone actually enjoy using Terraform, or is it all about the sense of mental superiority and job security?

My low tier conspiracy is that someone/thing is using @flightradar24.com for covert communications.
Every time I look in the evenings, for the last few months, there have been an odd number of ground vehicles in the most tracked section and they're *always* at Amsterdam Schiphol.

Looking forward to Americels ranting about gas prices are going up.
$182.22bn petroleum and $90.13bn cars/trucks imported in 2022.
By comparison refined petroleum was the US' largest export ($138bn) with 39.9% of that going to Canada and Mexico.
