They don’t care about quality. It’s like a hedge fund buying a struggling company and watering down the product. They hope to make a profit before loyal customers wise up. Pump and dump, Wall Street does it all the time. America was struggl

Yes and also Hitler is quite interesting outside the Nazi bit. I don't know why everyone obsesses over that.

This has been tried many times, eg conservapedia comes to mind. It rarely works. You generally have to take over a successful brand then drive it to the ground. You can't just start off with a shitty brand when there are alternatives.

Yeah so it seems. Well I have plenty of desktop Linux experience so it's not that hard to pop right back.

I still tinker as I get older, except instead of fonts I'm buying a dual monitor setup with a 6-foot standing desk.

If you're going to make changes, make big changes. Learn to squat 100kg. Finish a triathlon. Learn intermediate Chinese. These are all impactful goals you can hit in a year, worth way more than colors and fonts.

Honestly I'd be happy if they just made it stop lagging when I switch between multiple desktops in mission control. I spend most of my time in 3d party apps anyway. They recently added that lag I think with the liquid glass.

I don't like putting the blame on a "takeover". Democracy is about a kind of equality among people, and the US has had a strong anti-democratic strain since slavery. Probably even feudalism before that. Once you see it, you s

They installed so much wind and solar their CO2 emissions actually peaked in ~2024 (way ahead of the official 2030 target) and have been declining ever since.

It's easy to blame adversaries, but US conservatives have had a self-destructive self-hating political culture for a very long time. You don't have to go further than COVID masks/vaccinations/lockdowns to see it in actio

It damages trust. Layoffs are nearly always bad for a company, but are terrible in a research environment. You want people who will geek out over math/code all day, and being afraid for your job (for reasons outside your control!) is v

And Republicans! Damaged/hurt/frightened humans tend to vote for right wing and fascists. This is because going left wing is expensive, it requires time to know, like and trust your neighbors.

I'd say stop trying to sell and just lay out the data correctly. There are lots of factors at work here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loneliness_epidemic#Causes_of_...

Probably all the same reasons tech debt exists in the first place: business pressure, poor design, lack of resources. It used to be expensive to keep good documentation up to date as the code changes.

Have you tried making kefir? It’s much easier and likely better if you’re going for probiotics.

"Bad" is a judgment call. Trump approval ratings haven't dipped that far, so Congressional Republicans won't dare abandon him and there's not much political will for change. It might change if we get into millions o
