What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

The “no tax on tips” rule as part of the Big Beautiful Bill doesn’t apply to pornographic content.
This means when someone with an OnlyFans files their taxes and expects their tips not to be taxed, the IRS needs to watch their content to decide if it’s porn or not. 🤦🏾♂️

Bluesky moderation needs to toughen up. This is not intolerance. This is empathy (/s?) for how someone feels because that someone has never been held accountable.

I definitely don't agree with this. LLMs should not be used, especially not multiple times for one firm submission. There's no guarantee it will produce the correct output every time, not even with the same input.
Nor will autocorrect (source of bad input) stick to the same bad input data.

And yes, you will need to do some input scubbing and write a couple REST calls to talk to the LLM, but I couldn't care less if that's a small amount of extra work for the programmer. You program the field once, your customers use it a million times. There's no justification.

I heard that now they're placing people who criticize ICE under surveillance. I want it to be known to the entire world that I despise ICE to the core and I think their entire institution should be abolished. They are cruel, inhumane, and are examples of the worst of humanity

He said he wanted the filibuster gone, was he asleep then, too?!
If only the Democrats had the guts to actually do this, they might save America. Also let’s impeach Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito while we’re at it!

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.
Sabrina Carpenter ratioed the White House after it used her song in an ICE video.
The WH deleted the post…but now it’s back with a new ICE video, this time using an altered clip from Carpenter’s SNL monologue.

@supabase.com changed the owner of the `storage.objects` table to the `supabase_storage_admin`, so now my migration scripts can't create matching RLS policies in every environment.
I haven't tried to fix it yet, but I assume I have to use their annoying UI for it.

Interesting take on how Microsoft employees are resentful of AI because they're forced to use Copilot but it doesn't make them more productive and AI teams are rewarded while everyone else gets scraps & layoffs. It even claims a team lost their PM to layoffs due to their lack of AI proficiency.

This is the conclusion, which I'm pulling out from behind the paywall because it'll probably be a free newsletter or podcast one day. I think the AI era is a reckoning for the tech industry, one where consumers finally realize they're being abused.
