The power dynamic between labor and capital (or managers in this case) in the US has shifted so much since our grandparents generation. It’s hard to ignore it now. Our rights and safety nets have been stripped away. 40+ years of trickle dow

Current administration doing absolutely everything they can to destroy confidence in federal government. All of this so tho oligarchs can get their tax cuts and pave the way for a fully privatized nation.

This issue was so annoying since “apple intelligence” debuted. I would have to manually toggle off for each device that updated. But at least since 15.3.0, for me, it’s no longer an issue.

Works for me on latest macOS. Maybe your hardware is SOL? Can you share the video? Reminds me of the butterfly keyboard issue of the 2016-2019” model year MBs. If your warranty is still active could try to get the trackpad replaced.

The increasing isolationism amongst all countries is concerning and depressing. A WW3 may indeed come to fruition if we continue on this path. It won’t be the older folks paying for this but rather our children or grandchildren. Future is b

Got to make room for the trillion dollar tax cuts. Trickle down economics, right? Can’t wait for the pitchforks to rise up against the billionaires that created this mess.

The result of trickle down economics and neoliberalism to its core. Elimination of these “non-critical” agencies are nothing but a drop in the bucket compared to military spending and amounts tax cuts for billionaire parasites.

Marketing department at AMD missed the targets. But honestly, I don’t care about that. Price is very competitive, and as long as benchmarks and QC are on point. Then this is a massive win for AMD. NVDA as a “market leader” dropped the ball

The consolidation of power and IP into just several tech companies is worrying to me. Having the misfortune of working at IBM for just a few months, IBM leadership will give it the RedHat treatment. The dinosaurs at IBM will shelve their IP

Medicine is a nice pivot. I was in this exact opposite scenario in college though. In prep for my MCAT, I was an emergency medicine scribe. The experience there broke me and I truly realized how shitty medicine (at least in the US) really i

A startup looking to act as the equivalent of overseers on a plantation in 19th century is very representative of the American neoliberal shithole we live in.

I adopted obsidian recently to replace notion and it’s been a refreshing change. In its basic state (no plugins), it’s just a bunch of markdown files. Very easy to search notes and even have a dedicated folder for diary entries.

I blame national ISPs using their money to buy up lobbyists and cozy up with the legislators. I know in Texas it’s outright illegal for cities/municipalities to setup an ISP. They have to rely on national providers to pick up the slack

I’ll never understand why municipal run internet is illegal in some (most?) states. Maybe national ISP lobbyist groups are just that powerful or have the right amount of propaganda to influence the people in their direction. One of the many

A popular vote win by a meager ~1.5% is nothing to cheer about [1]. In 2020, Biden won popular vote by 4.5% [2] Even Hilary got a higher percentage of the popular vote in 2016, by earning 2.1% more over Trump [3] After you consider Republic

“Gig work” was always shitty pay _after_ you consider all of the expenses and depreciation in assets. You are an “independent contractor” after all. If you drive for a TNC, you may on paper earn more per hour but after gas, wear and tear on
