It was pretty common for him to disappear for a while and then pop up with a whole bunch of new features. I didn't mind that before and gladly paid the $1.50/month subscription to support his work and make Lemmy more accessible. But yeah, can't justify it now that the app shows all links as unread.
Op, is your account the alt of the Sync dev or something?
I wish that was the case. @ljdawson@lemmy.world - the Sync dev - has been MIA for over half a year now. Which sucks, because Sync currently has a breaking bug causing it to not show posts as read, making it mostly unusable. I had to cancel my subscription for it that I was happily paying for before to support his work.
My brother works ATC at one of the busiest airports in the country. While forced retirement is at 55, an informal poll of his coworkers that he and his buddies did this week revealed that nearly all of them are planning to take early retirement at 50.
They mapped it out and 80% of the facility will be retiring by 2030. To account for this, his facility alone will need to hire nearly 100 controllers. I asked him how many controllers they've hired recently. He said 2 since 2022.
Just goes to show, Trump is not the cause of the disease, he's a symptom. Trump could be Luigied tomorrow and the problems with the Republican party wouldn't disappear. They are completely owned by billionaires.
“I don’t like Trump’s flirting with Putin," said 49-year-old Fedir Logvynenko. "I don’t quite understand whether it’s from great intelligence or from complete incompetence."
Hate to break it to you, but it's pretty obviously the latter.
I heard that is the most likely scenario, but I don't know if I'd say it's the "best" scenario. Call me old fashioned, but I prefer to see criminals prosecuted for their crimes.
Just wanted to point out a minor detail. Thank God these morons were not dumb enough to fire actual ATCs. These firings were for non-ATC positions at the FAA.
Still really important positions like people who do shit like maintain critical systems (who needs radar? lol) but at least they haven't fucked with ATC numbers yet. Someone must have told President Musk that would cause the collapse of an already fragile system
Oddly enough, on my first development project I was paired with a "senior dev" who turned out just to be a guy in his 60s who had never actually coded before, so... just a senior.
I ended up doing 100% of the coding, but the guy managed to keep his job for a few months.
This is a bit of the classic "both sides being the same" argument. The first article you linked even calls it out.
In the Fox case, Carlson was presenting his own narrative, not even one extrapolating from known facts.
Maddow was like "hey this journalist is working for Putin and writing for OAN. OAN is Russian propaganda." When in reality, the journalist in question wrote for Sputnik News, which is affiliated with the Russian government. Granted it is a bit of a stretch to say all of OAN is Russian propaganda.
Carlson, on the other hand, just completely made up a story about Karen McDougal blackmailing Trump. A completely made up story.
So yeah, I wouldn't go saying both sides are the same here.
