the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I fully believe companies should be punished with "death sentences," not just fines.
Every executive fired with no severance, all stock set to $0 and its listing pulled from markets.

"'That’s the equivalent of basically taking out a credit card with a $20,000 credit limit, canceling it and then saying, 'I’ve just saved $20,000.' Anything that’s been said publicly about [DOGE’s] savings is meaningless.'”
Just how much has DOGE exaggerated its numbers? Now we have receipts.
A POLITICO analysis of DOGE data reveals the organization saved less than 5 percent of its claimed savings from nearly 10,100 contract terminations.

My microwave has been busted for years. Everything works except for all the buttons. I have 2 buttons that work consistently: stop/clear and start/+30s. They're really the only buttons you need unless you're setting the clock.

I'm so infuriated by people's "middle ground" arguments about genAI. There is no unwinding harm already done by genAI.
"Someone else broke into the house and stole the stuff—I'm just buying great stuff at a steep discount! I promise I won't do evil with this stuff!"
You're already complicit.

A challenge indeed.
I do believe there’s a middle ground where we use these tools to build better human spaces online. We don’t need to give up on the tech entirely to show we reject its misuse, we just need to stop taking part in practices that harm the very communities we want to protect.

Using attributes like `for` require you to reference another element using that element’s `id`.
E.g. `<label for="x"></label> … <input id="x">`
Do you sometimes wish you had another way to refer to another element on the page, without needing to generate an id? If so, what would you want?

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.
It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.
