I've been playing EU5, reading some history and so on here and it's really hard to imagine what famine and mass death from it is like considering how food is pretty much instantly available to me at all times. My closest connectio

If generally lower vaccination rates only impacted the unvaccinated, most folks wouldn't really care. I wish that were the case. The sad part is that the overall participation or lack of it impacts everyone, including the vaccinated,

I feel like framing this as non technical executives are somehow being decieved by big bad technical folks and thus should "skill up", is a potential recipe for disaster. I suspect most situations aren't "can't do t

Yeah I mean that's the software life right? You use the platform you use ... until it doesn't work for you. I did that for Windows and now I'm on MacOS. Maybe one day Linux, maybe I pick a flavor there that doesn't wor

My experience: I came from windows to MacOS so despite what folks bemoan about MacOS ... I still love it and it is problem free enough that I don't feel the need to do the lifting to go to Linux. I think that's a common thing for

Did you watch my links? Think they should be pointing their weapons at those people? You can make a list of your own gripes but that doesn’t justify those actions. No individual citizen should be subjected to that behavior or killed becaus

They shouldn't, and shouldn't be given a job like that. But I think it's by design. Create confrontation so the administration can take further steps. A lot of these guys behave like they really want someone to provoke them

Considering the behavior of ICE, it seems like they hired some folks just desperate to find legal cover to shoot someone. There are numerous videos of them casually drawing their weapons on protesters. https://www.reddit.com&#x2F

My anecdotal experience with folks who gravitate towards ideas about unstructured organizations (of any kind) ... also very much expect the output of that organization will just naturally be what they want. I sometimes wonder how their pers

I think the issue becomes an issue of what content and engagement you’re selling when most of the responses to a pretty girl are “grok post a pic of her clothes off” type posts. The level of discourse on twitter is pretty terrible already b

All the big companies give each other so much extra room to operate. Facebook’s practices would have gotten any other dev banned from all stores long ago. Meanwhile any other devs are under a different microscope / standard.

So was the proposed idea be that people would be required to disclose if AI was used to generate code? I do agree that there’s no magic in requiring disclosure here as plenty of people simply won’t and we’re in the same situation regardless

I think you can only be sure the president will protect himself. Some of his past allies have been put in some bad positions and it doesn’t seem Trump cares.

This administration is just a bunch of "the law is what we say it is when it is convenient for us to say it is X". The constitution and actual law doesn't apply to them as far as they are concerned. And of course that means
