This must be the American system of liberty and free enterprise I have heard so much about over the years.

"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate.
Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services.
He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?"
"He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

No, inheritance tax isn't a double tax on your already taxed, hard earned money. You're dead. You don't pay it. It's paid, to all intents and purposes, by the people receiving the inheritance, who absolutely did not earn it, and don't deserve a massive tax free windfall.

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

"To make it persist, you need to install an extension that lets you add custom CSS to specific sites"

Which, sadly, has kind of become standard issue tooling for navigating the modern web (I use the Stylus extension for Firefox).

Vibe coding is coming for software engineering jobs in the same way that three year olds are coming for air traffic control jobs. This isn’t a problem caused by new technologies; it’s a management scare tactic.

Ég fattaði það í alvörunni fyrst í dag að það sem er "út úr kú" er ekki eitthvað óskiljanlegt baul heldur það sem kemur út um hinn enda beljunnar, samanber "bullshit" á ensku.

Í dag lærði ég að það er hægt að láta 1Password og LastPass sjá um "One-time-passwords" í staðinn fyrir Microsoft Authenticator appið. Og nú þegar ég er búinn að sjá hvernig þetta *getur* verið, þá er mér ljóst að það þarf að sækja Microsoft til saka fyrir Authenticator notendaupplifunina, af þunga!

Exactly! Something I vehemently dislike about these types of studies is how consistently and drastically that point gets undersold.
