The harsh crackdown on anyone who doesn't properly mourn Charlie Kirk and pretend he was a good guy is polarizing me more and more in the opposite direction.
He was a vile, hateful little man who wanted people like me lynched. The more you scream at me for pointing that out, the more I'll say it.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Trump voters wanted lower medical bills. But for millions, bills are about to go up

This is the union's first major strike in nearly 40 years, when a 20-day work stoppage led to trash piling up on city streets. Leaders say the workers can't afford to live in the city they serve. (via @whyy.org)
Philly’s largest city workers' union is on strike. Here’s what to know
AFSCME District Council 33 represents 9,000 employees ranging from sanitation workers to crossing guards. Trash pick-up, pools and 911 calls are among the services impacted.

With this Apple Container Framework stuff, I need to clarify something that I see confusing a lot of people:
In Docker Desktop/colima/lima/Rancher Desktop today a single VM runs all of your containers.

His supporters say it’s just patriotism. But parading military power through the U.S. capital at the command of a would-be strongman is nothing to celebrate. In fact, it's downright un-American.
