Furious about Trump's racist rant about the Somali community. #maine is better for their presence. I'm ashamed this man is in office.

Only old guys complain about code quality, architecture, and easy maintainability. If your app gets too spaghetti-fied by all the vibe-coding, just throw another processor on the barby and ask AI to fix it again

The Trump administration just released all of the Kennedy assassination documents.

Turns out Zelenskyy did it.

Way to go, Press Herald, for reporting on this. I think that without our local papers, injustices like this would succeed.
The Trump Administration reversed course and rescinded a directive that required Maine parents to register their children at Social Security offices instead of filling out a form at the hospital.
The mandate would have caused some parents to have to drive hours to get a card for their child.
Social Security reverses course, will allow Maine parents to register their newborns at hospitals
The reversal by the Trump administration occurred less than a day after the news had spread to health care providers, sparking criticism and questions of Maine's congressional delegation.

@windsurfai.bsky.social , I love the product, but could you help out a Dvorak Keyboard typist and make it so I can Cmd+V/X/C into the Cascade text box? Seems there's something missing there.

I'm a long-time Jetbrains user (like decades long), who's eschewed VSCode as a less capable IDE. I think @windsurfai.bsky.social may be changing my mind.
