There are a lot of things wrong with this country, but it’s hard to imagine anything less American than the President threatening to revoke someone’s citizenship for the crime of free speech.

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

Remember how all the cyber security people said not to backdoor end-to-end encryption?
That sensitive data should be encrypted in transit AND at rest?

Vaccine Critic Who Used Chemical Castration Drug to Treat Autism Tapped to Lead Federal Immunization Study | National Review Mark Geier had his medical license suspended after the Maryland State Board of Physicians found that his research ‘endangers autistic children.’

The Autism "study" will be led by a guy who pretended to be a doctor even though he only has a BA in bio and who attempted a small-scale genocide of autistic people through chemical castration, so you know it'll be legit.

+1 for asking engineers. I'm happy to share my own opinion on it, but the team's opinion is fully up to date & includes things I may not see.

Though depending on the exact issue, external candidates may get less transparent answers, as they're not bound by any confidentiality agreements...

If you have to pay people to vote your way, it must be hard to comprehend people hating you for free.

Great! Let me know if you have other suggestions for the bot :)

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

Wrote a quick update to include the title and (start of) the body of the post -- will see how it works and if it needs further cleanup over the next few posts the bot makes. Thank you for the suggestion!

one of the defining features of the techbro dipshits now running the USA is their absolute refusal to consider that anyone, ever, has thought about problems before them

time after time they come in, propose a solution that was rejected years ago because it's stupid, and call themselves geniuses

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g.

- Small changes
- Test that the change works before moving on
- (unit) tests wherever you can

Some of us have been warning about this and calling for anti-SLAPP laws (both federal and state) for years and years and years. And I'm not stopping now.

Defamation law has been so widely abused to chill speech and so few people know it.

I am begging AI boosters to explain to me how it is in any way time-saving or helpful to have an "assistant" who may be lying to you and whose work you therefore have to check every step along the way.

oh i'm really gonna get some use out of this
