Whenever I see "GenAI basically can do the work of a junior dev", I assume that those people are using junior devs very differently from me. To me, the value of a junior developer is maybe like 20% the code they write, and 80% is a down payment to a future where they no longer are a junior. I […]

We appreciate that certain politicians have recently admitted their naivete in entrusting the voices of their governments to corporate / for-profit social media.

I'm incredibly concerned about the UK's new online safety act, and you should be too. You should not be forced to dox yourself to use the Internet; anonymity is extremely important. In fact, the Internet shouldn't be strongly restricted just because you're under 18. This is common sense. It's […]

Hytale team- PLEASE open source what you have. It's better to let the community have an unfinished game that they can finish themselves than let your decade of work go to waste. I know this isn't what you wanted- but please let us at least get something out of it. Give Hytale to the community.

This is urgent.

The HHS plans to cut funding for LGBTQIA+ suicide prevention section of the National Suicide Hotline, 988. This means that LGBTQ youth and others (who are typically 4x more likely to have a risk of suicide vs their peers and account for 1.3 million of the 988 calls in the last 3 […]

If the Google antitrust case goes through and Android has to be split off from Google, it should be given to a non-profit committee and NOT the highest bidder.

This is absurd.

How can you go to law school, be the vice president, and not know how separation of powers works?

Besides civil and criminal cases, telling the executives the limits of their power is the entire POINT of the judiciary.

Without the […]

Okay how can Jeff be both the cutest and one of the most menacing characters in the game? On the one hand he's adorable on the other he throws my entire team off the map at least twice a match.
