In my experience the reason Republicans are so interested in what people can buy with food stamps is that they want very much to punish people who are on food stamps. If they truly cared about the health of needy Americans there are a lot o

The problem in my eyes is that it's performative. They're making this announcement as if they're doing something revolutionary (they're switching the food pyramid diagram around) while at the same time doing so much to d

Maybe "let" was the wrong word. I think Putin has the ability to bribe, persuade, and/or blackmail Trump to sell the interests of the United States for Trump's own personal gain, and I think Trump admires Putin. If Putin

I'm finding it hard to imagine a scenario in which this version of the United States would go to war to protect Europe, and I have little doubt that Putin and Trump have a handshake deal in which each will let the other carve up its ne

My sense is that most people don't know what's going on even in normal times, or at best would have some vague idea that the word "Venezuela" is in the news but not be able to explain what's happening, so they inter

Agree. It drives me nuts that people can't see this happening. It's as plain as day.

I strongly suspect that as the US repeatedly burns its allies, refactors its military and intelligence leadership to center around loyalty rather than competence, and refocuses its attention on domestic critics rather than foreign adversari

Back in 2022, when Musk was buying Twitter and the Biden administration was asking social media companies to moderate potentially harmful medical misinformation, it felt like every third comment here was someone hollering about free-speech

It's a front end for all of those models. I haven't signed up for it but I'm considering it as I pay for both Kagi and Claude for a total of $35/month, whereas this would be $25 if I understand correctly. https:/&#

That's a misconception shared by POTUS, unfortunately.

I would feel a lot better about these discussions here if there was any acknowledgement whatsoever from self-described "free-speech absolutists" that large-scale mass propagation of disinformation can be manipulated by the powerfu

Yeah, I'd like to come to your defense here. While I do prefer working from home, I totally get what you're saying about the routine of walking to work. I used to bike commute about 7 miles each way up and down some intense hills;

Because sometimes it’s more convenient to point to someone else’s nameservers (I commented elsewhere in this thread about our AWS setup), and some people don’t want to give a single company control over their entire domain-to-web-server pip

(Not the person you’re replying to) It’s free, but there are times when it’s more convenient to point to someone else’s nameservers, and some people like to keep their DNS separate from their registrations as a “separation of powers” thing,

Ah, I knew about the price increases but not the sale of the company. One thing I really liked about Gandi was that they had a concept of Organizations, and users within those orgs, so we didn’t have to share a login within the org. I’ve be

My sister had her Facebook account taken over by a bot of some sort some years ago. It was odd – they changed her profile photo over time, so at first it was just the regular profile photo, then it was the regular profile photo with a littl

Returning to office, for me, would mean 2+ extra hours per day away from the family due to the commute, plus two hundred bucks a month in gas, and it removes the option of moving to a more affordable location, which I'm looking into no

That's a really good question that I don't know the answer to. I would guess that they have a file on you somehow – Utility bills? Landlords checking your credit? But I'm not confident enough to know what would be the best th
