Nothing like reading the sky lounge rules 3x and being certain your card lets you in only to be denied because your platinum card is not the platinum card in the rules despite the names being essentially the same. At least I know which card I have that I should cancel

And that means you should be able to install apps that protect you from potentially malicious content.

Not the first time I've seen this. I think Kyle Hill did a series on how bad it was in science videos. The incentive is too strong, and it seems even or normal copyright tools are incapable of dealing with it.

You would *hope* that software developer job interviews and software development wouldn't require two distinctly different sets of skills.

This line from @hankgreen.bsky.social should be taught in school (along with some ideas on how to manage it).
