Look, I think most liberal democratic systems are functionally equivalent, but in Australia and other Westminster states, the set of events which leads to a government shutdown in the US instead triggers a general election, and it'd be nice if the US had that, too

This is grotesque. I lost any love for Vercel & Next years ago, but seeing him cozy up with genocide in Gaza — is beyond words. I feel for the employees.
The horrifying truth: businesses that worked with the Nazis didn’t fall to capitalism. It’s down to us, we have to take our business elsewhere.

So you like Vercel/genAI/Next.js, huh?
This man and his company are a blight on the entire field of developer tooling. This is disgusting in the strongest sense.

The maddening thing is that this would have been PAINFULLY OBVIOUS if they had ANY EXPERIENCE AT ALL working with the government! In any way! Or if they had asked a single question!! 😖
“I personally was pretty surprised, actually, at how efficient the government was,” Sahil Lavingia told NPR's Juana Summers.
Former DOGE engineer says federal waste and fraud were 'relatively nonexistent'

Pro tip: if a subscription service requires you to call/email to close your account (so a retention agent can beg you to stay), put in a GDPR request to delete all your data in line with your right to be forgotten.

now im not saying things should never go viral or something like that. but it was curious how a naive technical implementation (showing all replies always is kind of simpler) had a very direct effect: every reply chain effectively was a search procedure for people who can get the most upset online
