Very cuss-heavy but hilarious because I feel the same a lot of the time. I wrote HTML when I had a geocities site when I was a kid.

That means I'm getting old...
Just fucking use HTML
Stop reinventing the wheel. The web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer.

An administration cannot say they are fighting government waste and fraud, then unilaterally sign in policies like tariffs, which increase waste.

I work in a public university. Costs of common electronics will likely go up 2-3 TIMES. It will be passed onto taxpayers.

Tariffs are a tax consumers pay.

Businesses have to pay such tariffs to get their products into countries that have them. So they'll either 1. avoid trading in said country. Or 2. raise the prices of goods to the factor of the tariffs.

They are NOT an effective sanction.

Never thought I'd hear the words "woke policy" being said in the oval office. Welcome to the clown show.

He is right about ATC requiring smart people. But it also requires many people, which Trump himself attributed to shortages of. He is not the hero of this story like he thinks he is.

I usually try to stick to the lane of my experience before giving hot takes on politics. Here's one though.

Disbanding the CyberSecurity Review Board (CSRB) was a bad move on Trump's part.

A ban of TikTok is mostly a bad thing, here's why:

It doesn't address the root of the problem: The spineless or non-existent consumer protection and privacy rights the USA has. So even if TikTok was a security threat, it's just one drop in a pond.

From Linux Mint 22 to 22.1 (pretty major feature update), in about two minutes and under 1% of battery consumed. Hashtag things that would not happen if I was still a Windows user.
