The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

This, but Firefox not Chrome.

not enough people in power have watched enough Star Trek and I’m probably only saying that because Paramount Plus has a channel that plays random episodes so I’ve been watching a LOT. Just unrelentingly optimistic about human nature.

The Greenland thing is just to distract from the nightmare of Elon. Didn't bite. Keep your eye on what will actually impact you and your family.

I look forward to the law treating this just like all the individuals who are pushed to bankruptcy for minor piracy are treated... “Torrenting from a corporate laptop doesn’t feel right”: Meta emails unsealed arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Vance is openly calling for the end of the constitutional order here, which is a betrayal of his oath of office. It is as plain as day now, Loper Bright ain’t gonna save you

To me, it's simple. I'm not going to vote for or expedite a single Trump nominee while this constitutional crisis persists and deepens. That's just a component of real opposition, but it has to be the starting point. No complicity. Fierce opposition.

Yeah I have a smart tv, it's called a dumb tv with a HDMI cable in it

Few know how the genre started out

What the actual fuck‽

If you want a really clear understanding of at least one aspect of how we got to an administration like this one, you should read "Amusing Ourselves to Death". Back in the 90's this book changed my view of the value of communication technology. #booksky ia600101.us.archive.org/27/items/Var...

Humans also have full liability such that "mistakes" have consequences. I would assume the acceptable level of error is the amount that the company is willing to pay out on. But that isn't what he means, he means "how can we get rid of the humans but keep the lack of corporate liability?"

Stargate isn't about a new series and that fact upsets me.

Indiana Jones and the Great circle is pretty much everything I could hope for from the game. They never over stay the welcome and while nothing is truly new, every bit is executed perfectly. It is shockingly better than what I thought it would be.

And this is where we are at in terms of optimistic takes

Also! It was one of the first sci-fi shows where there was legit technological progress season to season. Basic guns at the beginning and full on star ships by the end.

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

reminding everyone that the incoming administration is already doing what they did last time: flood the zone with the most unhinged plans leaving you thoroughly exhausted. choose your battles! focus where your work can change things. hunt for joy and don’t be afraid to log off for breaks.

And it’s only the beginning

Also, it is the only vampire movie that truly captures the boredom of immortality, the loneliness of age.

Everyone talks about how bird heavy the first 7 days of Christmas are but never mentions days 8 through 12 which are maybe slavery? What other explanation is there for giving someone 8 milk maids?
