Don’t check your 401K accounts, Americans. This idiocracy administration is single handedly ruining both _public_ and _private_ safety nets. To my fellow Americans that helped vote this dipshit into office, please fuck off.

The author dances around the real cause. It's the lack of labor unions and/or decreasing participation. In this neoliberal/neoclassical (aka "orthodox") economy, companies are maximizing profits at all costs and sac

I quickly looked at the MSCs and seems “MAS” and associated MSCs enable OIDC/OAUTH authentication flows (basically integration with your favorite identity provider such as Google or Apple). I was hoping for matrix homeserver to act as

These systems are also likely to get replaced or downsized in favor of relying on data from _self driving vehicles_. Waymo and et al are touted for making our lives easier (load of marketing bs), but really will make it more difficult. edit

For my aging Apple devices, I have historically liked the airpod pros. But have never understood the hype around the AirPod “max” headphones. Are professionals really using the AirPod max over much better and higher quality headphones? As a

Headline of this podcast title is very dramatic. The music conference is not going away. In 2026, all of the separate conferences will run _concurrently_ for 1 week. https://www.sxsw.com/news/2025/see-you-next-year

“did he miscalculate how intense the backlash would be” Right … it’s a “calculated move” to cater to far right, and Neo Nazi groups abroad (ie, AfD). It’s a “calculated move” to not only do one but two Nazi salutes on national television. L

Good. One awful company that was trying very hard to sell off our genetic data. Wonder what happens to the treasure trove of data they have collected though. Hopefully the data is just 'sudo rm -rf —-no-preserve-root' and not inc

_Maybe_ something like this is needed at GOOG or NFLX. But for most companies, this added complexity of an “orchestration tier” is unnecessary.

TSLA honestly feels like the next Enron. Stock is overvalued to hell. Leadership continues to sell (AI, self driving vehicles, tesla pays for itself via taxi service, …) investors on new projects but ultimately failing to deliver to market.
