Oh, that’s an idea. Unfortunately my work has no union. Tech is full of rugged individuals.

Is it better to skip work entirely or go and just goof off? Probably the former?

know your rights! All three of them!

You have the right not to be killed

Murder is a crime!

Unless it was done by a police man…

The clash from 1982 still timely

Mark is a good, kind person

No he’s not.

He has done tremendous, incalculable, harm to countless people. All of our lives are worse because Zuckerberg is an asshole.

I agree the privatisation was a big mistake, also in healthcare, energy etc.

Privatizing is always a mistake. Profit is waste and theft. Making public services for-profit is inevitably going to turn to shit.

I’m not sure. I said in another comment in here that maybe having the public vote on districts would make it harder to pull off. Like, if the entire state needs to look at the map and say “That looks fair”, maybe it’ll be hard to make those paint splatter ones.

I wonder if “I know it when I see it” would be good enough if it had to pass a public vote. Do you think the regular people on the street would vote to support gerrymandering? Getting good voter turnout and education is its own set of problems, admittedly.

Gerrymandering should be a crime and conviction should mean removal from office and a life long ban on working in politics.

Now we just need a way to do that that isn’t vigilante violence.

It is kind of frustrating how every system needs to resist people (usually conservatives) from acting in bad faith.

I get a lot of music from Bandcamp. Unfortunately while unemployed I’m not spending much money on fun

I’ve been buying mostly mostly from Bandcamp. It’s worked out well. I have a big library, and the people making music got paid.

Did you independently reinvent https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Postal_Savings_System or did you know about the history?

The “use assets as collateral to get a loan, and loans aren’t taxed as income” thing needs to be patched out. There are probably many other exploits but that one seems like an easier fix.

This is an interesting point. They’re going to get the final search string though, so does it matter much if when I search “baked potato recipe” they also get requests for [baked, baked potato, baked potato recipe] (assuming they denounce/split on space/etc) ?

I started using recently. No complaints.

Does anyone know what you can put for the “suggestions API url” in Firefox? It’s optional so I left it blank.

Yeah some of my (straight white wealthy able bodies) former coworkers make excuses like that.

They don’t charge for hand soap, toilet paper, tampons & pads, nor paper towels all of which are available for free for public health reasons.

Don’t give conservatives any ideas.

If it’s on private property who gives a shit. If your idiot son wants to build a structurally questionable tree house and the parents don’t do anything about it and he dies that’s on them.

it’s on all of us, because all the money and effort that went into educating and raising that kid is wasted. Plus the rippling effects outward from everyone who knew the kid grieving.

I guess it’s fine. Not sure how useful it would be for gauging how apart subways are, like if I need to get to the G from the Q.

The new one makes it look like they intercept, but they don’t.

I know pre 1.x.x is kind of a wild west for versioning but uh is there any logic to the version numbers here? I’d think a new feature would be a minor version bump, not patch
