Anti monopoly laws apply to corporations, why not apply them to unions as well? Why does 1 union represent port workers on the entire eastern seaboard? Its a little absurd(USA has some of the least efficient ports in the world too...coincid

I find it utterly astounding that not a single government has started an email service yet for its citizens, with all the legal protections of actual mail and such. They wouldn't even need to run it, just create a legal category like &

I've never understood why Atlas Shrugged gets so much more hate than any other book that ever gets mentioned. Its like a rule of the internet that anytime it is mentioned, people must show up and dunk on it.

Not everyone considers that essential. I had onenote once, realized my handwriting was shit, and never tried to hand write notes again.

But...measures of socialization are at an all time low? It may not be due to smartphones, but it is a real phenomenon.

As opposed to menus like this type of desktop, I like to use launchers for everything. I like key-pirranah the most. Configuration is on the harder side as launchers go, but it has been rock-solid since then for over a year. I just type a f

I think you are right. I tried linux recently. Was surprisingly nice in some ways...but constant bugs. First it was my bluetooth being strange to pair. Then mouse movement/scrolling just felt wierd. Gnome file picker being shit. Then a

True. Such a shame though. Ignoring the ecosystem and dev experience the language itself is easily the best of the four.

Yeah this. I don't mind SaaS in theory. In practice it is just a more expensive and invasive way of a way to get your software. Too many apps think 10$/mo is reasonable. Thats 120$ a year. Absurd.

I wouldn't. This method of ranked choice voting is really bad. FPTP is awful. IRV is awful-1%. Why not choose something good like range or approval voting that doesn't have all these bizarre gotchas and strategies about who is 3rd

This is your daily reminder that there is no theoretical reason to do these monthly small hikes. Except to keep pretending everything is still fine I guess. Russia hiked by 9% in a day and it helped stabilize things quickly. We need to hike

Visa/Mastercard are looking very overvalued to me. When fednow comes out, I see very little reason for people to use those legacy options anymore. Its like the market is completely oblivious to the impending doom coming for these rent

If EMPLOYER pays you 10k and you want to buy a plan for 5k, you first have to pay taxes on the 10k, lets say 20%, so you have 8k - 5k = 3k left over. OR The employer can just buy the 5k plan for you tax free, and pay you 5k instead. This me

Crazy idea, but why can't we just buy some armored cable and let it lie on the ground? People can bury it themselves if it really bothers them. A lot of these people dont seem rich enough to justify caring about it being pretty...

But do any of them have software support? Most of these rpi knockoffs only ever release 1 kernel version and you are stuck on it forever.

Pardon my language, but how the fuck is it possible to ruin a company like Intel with 0 consequences like this? Something is deeply wrong with our economic/legal system. Why do semi-making jobs pay so poorly when they literally underpi

Shopping on amazon is really an awful experience nowdays. I really do not want to search through 40 pages of water kettles of really dubious brands. It is so anxiety inducing and unpleasant.

I think its more that mobile app economics are dead due to the google/apple app store duopoly. Their fat cuts of all sales make a lot of businesses quite hard to pull off. Plus, you need to be in constant fear of getting randomly banne

I wish Ansible was just a python API. Past a certain point it would be much simpler. "Its supposed to be state and not a procedure" is BS in my experience. When you need to do IFs, load vars, do things in order anyways...it stops

I really like Brave and what it is trying to do. I've been using it as my main browser (with the brave engine) and I have no real complaints. Firefox has been making me mad lately(more-so the corporation and its stupidity than the brow

Sort by lowest price is also completely non-functional. It seems if you select that option, it will return 5 pages of irrelevant junk for you to wade through.

I dont understand why congress doesnt just mandate that voting rights go to the ultimate owner in index funds, no the management firm. Would be a pretty simple fix.
