“I know you can’t afford things but we also cannot afford things” will be, I predict, a losing message. The world’s first trillionaire is on the horizon. “We can’t afford transportation, healthcare, food and shelter” will no longer cut it for the “progressive” party.
Hochul a 'no' on Mamdani's free bus plan; 'yes' on statewide universal childcare
The price tag to expand a universal childcare program statewide is $15B.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Holy shit. This guy saved a PNG to a bird.

Everyone: No, GitHub Desktop is better! No, VS Code!
Me: ...I just use `git add -p`.
Walks you through each change, hunk for hunk, and lets you accept with `y`. It’s like a mini code review before you commit.
Pair that with dandavison/delta, and you get syntax highlighting too 👀

Yikes. Turns out you can send a plaintext radio signal to cause any train in the USA to do an emergency break. The original 'security' was just a checksum, no encryption or authentication. Reporting this took them 12 years (!) because the vendor dismissed it initially www.cisa.gov/news-events/...

I tried the @kagi.com small web feature for the first time, and on the third result I got a new post about the latest version of SuperTuxKart, and this just blew my mind. I totally forgot this thing even existed, and to find that it is under active development? Some things truly never change 😅
