@coderabbitai.bsky.social I'm a big fan of your code review tools. I just noticed your scanline effect has... an issue on my screen.

Capitalism continues to eat itself.

If every company did this -- if everything you paid for were algorithmically priced to the maximum that you could afford to pay at that exact moment, then what would be the point of money anymore?
BREAKING: The Federal Trade Commission is investigating Instacart, according to Reuters.

The probe follows our investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social revealed the company is using AI algorithms to increase grocery prices.
EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate.

The GOP vile anti-trans campaign failed miserably. Earle-Sears made it her dominant issue - and lost hugely

Should be duly noted by the punditry (but don't count on that)
Abigail Spanberger (D) wins the Virginia governor's race, NBC News projects, defeating Winsome Earle-Sears (R).

I appreciate the self awareness.

In theory, SCOTUS is supposed to be apolitical (lol!). And one could say that timing your retirement based on who is currently in the White House is disrespecting the voters as much as Mitch McConnell refusing to hold a vote.
It's easy to blame our current authoritarian state on Ruth Bader Ginsburg refusing to retire rather than wrestle with the many ways our democracy was failed by the people & institutions meant to uphold it, so that's what I'm going to do. Gonna sit here and be annoyed at a dead person. Leave me alone
The Supreme Court looks poised to allow states to draw racially discriminatory maps – effectively eroding civil rights law and giving Republicans an almost insurmountable majority in the House. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/Vjs7n9K

3 months into this administration "I'm sorry I'm being so political"

9 months into this administration, fuck all of this, fuck everything, this isn't how any of this works, and fuck apologizing for pointing it out. I will still post about other stuff, but this is just how it is right now.
I don't want my feed to be mostly political stuff. I want to have more gaming stuff, and dev stuff, and flying stuff, and whatever else tickles my fancy.

It's just that, well... *gestures broadly*

And that stuff is important to me, too.

I just want to make something I can be proud of but I have no time, energy, or juice in me because of the work cycle that capitalism traps me in.

The job that gave me carpal tunnel, an anxiety disorder, and worsened my sciatica to permanent damage levels also keeps me from creating.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

I should've stayed in Canada.
The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.

He said this out loud.

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people stop working.
It makes people stop panicking.

Panicking about rent.
Panicking about bills.
Panicking about choosing between medicine and food.

Imagine what America could build if survival wasn’t our full-time job. #UBI

I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

People who use #vscode with #copilot: Is there a way to make CoPilot less aggressive?? It gives me like 0.5 seconds before it starts filling my screen with suggestions and it does it EVERY SINGLE TIME I stop typing. Visual Studio is tuned better, can I get a similar experience in VSC?
