A cock sucker has more use than this woman.

If only there was a way to provide more information to readers. I guess we'll have to just deal with our headlines only society and never get more than superficial context to anything. 🤷

She should get sent a slew of assisted suicide pamphlets and other advocacy material. I mean, if dying is no big deal then why wait? The Lord will be there to embrace you on the other side!

They could just hyphenate it, "Court refuses to overturn stay -- Federal downsizing still on hold".

That's a lateral move in more ways than one. Very few red states that I would consider pleasant to live in.

Rowling doesn't get paid when you buy used. Got the entire set of movies or books? Sell them to a used book store or donate them to the library. Give them away on Craigslist. Make it easy for people not to buy them new. Also, boycott new media like the HBO series by cancelling your subscription or calling out the actors online for participating.

I was on Ubuntu for years but the Snaps annoyed me and I was looking for alternatives so I went to Fedora (Bazzite). Couldn't be happier. I installed Bluefin on my laptop (slightly different flavor) and that's been nice too, although some things don't work as seamlessly as I think it should.

Except the advise was "learn to cook instead of taking insulin".

What? Ford didn't just tell its drivers they probably fucked it up themselves and they should learn how to use a mirror???

And because we're all represented by corpses they can't be bothered to use AI tools to cross check the bullshit being thrown their way.

I mainly use my Bazzite machine for gaming and it was rough at first (~1 year ago) but it seems like compatibility has made leaps and bounds recently. I don't play a ton of different games but I've had to do very little tweaking to make them work. 90% have been install-and-play. Usually ProtonDB can help you work out the kinks.

I think this makes as much sense as saying you don't need to disinfect surfaces anymore, because a "surface" is immune from infection.

Early on Trump came out in support of H1B Visas. They're practically slave labor and will drive down the rewards of white collar jobs. They want to gatekeep upward economic mobility. They are going to cap federal student loan awards if the new budget bill passes (albeit a very high limit) and probably drive it down further so only the rich will have degrees. The rest of us get to fight over which trade accepts us.

And Krasnov has obligations to fulfill.

DOGE only found like $150b in "savings". And chances are that it'll be a net negative because of cuts to the IRS that would've caught more tax cheats.

I think at most of the disdain comes from the business side. Sure I can opt out of AI at home but at work I'm constantly getting asked how AI has helped my productivity and potentially "graded" on how much or how effectively I use it. Business doesn't care about your personal fulfillment, just your productivity, and if they grind you into dust to w acchere you no longer find any joy or motivation in your work they'll get the next college graduate that's already used AI for 80% of their assignments and wonder why quality has tanked, integrations are failing, security breaches are up, and energy costs have doubled.

A coworker that regularly uses AI code assistants asked me to review 78 brand new files he made. That really puts my back against the wall. Do I spend a day going through everything "the old way"? Do I ask AI to summarize each function to bridge the gap in knowledge? Do I ask it, file by file, if it sees any issues? Or do I just rubber stamp it because I should the million-dollar product my boss thinks I should use more than Google or official docs?

It's still really sad they probably didn't have enough time to regret their life choices 😥

It probably makes too much sense to say anyone that applies gets it and if your next tax return shows you didn't actually need it then you have to pay it back.

They're in it for the long-haul. If they roll over now they'll absolutely get crushed. Letting people and organizations get away with defiance, even for a moment, is weakness and authoritarians can't ever appear weak.

The ADF doesn't give up so easily.
