I help researchers do work "in the cloud" at a Big Ten University in the US.
I program as a hobby. Play video games.
Read books. Woodworking. Lots of pets.

Hey, @dsebastien.net. I was wondering if you could help me out. I'd like to purchase Knowledge Worker Kit (because that includes everything, right?). On the store page, it has the following warning. I've added all of the bonuses to my cart but it still includes the price for all of them ($371)

As someone not on TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and nearly every other "social platform", I feel like a major part of today's society and culture is invisible to me. I had no idea a TikTok ban would have this kind of political power behind it. I feel... out of touch. 🙁

This. Very much this. As someone without a Facebook (or other social media accounts), I'm so excited to see such things as business websites coming back again.

🤔 seems like that in a 2-party system, the presidential election is decided by strategists, not democracy
strategists guess how the population has shifted since the last election, decide on a set of issues that capture minimum votes to win the election while also maximize shift toward their party

Homer, Iliad 10.260–5: "On the inside there was a strong lining on interwoven straps, onto which a felt cap had been sewn in. The outside was cleverly adorned all around with rows of white tusks from a shiny-toothed boar, the tusks running in alternate directions in each row."
