Dearest Delta, I don't need 2 texts, an email, and a push notification when my gate changes 90 minutes before a flight.

My MacBook (M4 Air) keeps crashing while its sleeping. At least I think that is what's happening bc when I resume it, I need my password and all my apps relaunch.

What is the best way to troubleshoot this? Trying to avoid reinstalling macOS which is what everything suggests.

This is a fun macOS bug. If you have delta.com installed as a PWA via Safari, you can't sign in to the Delta SkyClub Wi-Fi because it tries to invoke the PWA on the redirect, and you get stuck in the captive network assistant.

By a 2 to 1 margin, Americans say Trump has gone too far in trying to expand the power of the presidency and lay off government workers. And by large margins, they say he has gone too far in sending troops into cities, attacking universities and ending DEI programs.
3 in 5 Americans disapprove of Trump's job performance, the highest level since after the Jan. 6 attack. Americans disapprove even of his handling of issues historically favorable to him like immigration, crime and the economy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Voters divided on midterms despite broad Trump disapproval, poll finds
Most Americans disapprove the president’s handling of top issues, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising his powers.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

‼️ On SNAP, very significant here:

A federal judge rules that the Trump admin is "required" to spend the $5.5 billion in contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

But there will still be a gap in benefits; she gave the admin until Nov. 3 to share if/how they will issue payments.

If President Trump allows SNAP to expire, @boston.gov will be ready to help our neighbors.

If you need assistance during this time of intense and entirely preventable need, go to boston.gov/SNAP or call 311.

DHS / ICE appears to have rolled out their new cell phone tracking platform in DC. I'm getting these every 5-10 minutes on my phone.

Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Pam Bondi need to be jailed for life.

for months now, every time I launch VS Code, settings sync (and sometimes GH PR) is signed out. Then after attempting a sign in, sometimes I get an API limit reached error.

Is anyone else running into this? Any fix? I can't help but think it is somehow related to CoPilot.

Quote from Timothy Mellon, who donated $130 million to the U.S. military, so you know who we’re dealing with:

“Black people, in spite of heroic efforts by the "Establishment" to right the wrongs of the past, became even more belligerent and unwilling to pitch in to improve their own situations”.
