  There’s a reason ICE conceal their faces.

  They know what they’re doing is wrong and don’t want to be held accountable if their fascist rule collapses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is what it is⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Are people required to know how their car works?

  Do people have to understand chemistry to buy gasoline or mercury thermometers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is what it is⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s simply not true. People can’t be expected to know what’s going on under the hood of services designed specifically to simplify things for non-technical users and conceal what’s under the hood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the seven deadly companies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My local officials are pretty protective of us.

  At the same time, the state just passed a law limiting severance pay to municipal employees to 60 days, so that when they outlaw a bunch of our functions we also suffer when our jobs aren’t legal and nobody is hiring statewide.

  I love some of the cities I’ve worked for, but God I hate the Texas state government.

  Actually, I tend to order healthier options than what I cook. If I’m spending 30 dollars on lunch it isn’t gonna be fast food. I usually go with a salad bowl or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the seven deadly companies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I work in municipal government.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the seven deadly companies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely use Uber Eats because I’m hungry, not lazy. That’s why I ise it exclusively from work, where I rarely get to take time for lunch, and instead have it delivered so I can mute my mic mid-meeting and eat.

  I could meal-prep, but between getting up at 5am, getting home at 8pm, and helping out at my parent’s place on the weekends 200 miles away, I simply don’t have time to cook for work.

  You already clicked. It doesn’t matter anymore.

  Start prepping for some strategic tech investments.

  I don’t think there’s proof yet, but Isreal has shown zero qualms about killing innocent civilians.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are services online. I don’t use any of them, so I’m not comfortable making recommendations.

  That being said, printers are getting cheap and really easy to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok smartass⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Except it’s not. The actual answer is 9:45. It’s a stupid way of describing time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Want me to 3d print one for you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok smartass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Still better than quarter of.

  What time is a “Quarter of 10”?

  I could see it as 10:15, 9:45, 9:15, or 2:30. It’s stupid, and anybody who uses it is wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PeerTube just reached its final goal for the mobile app fundraiser - 75k € - with a few hours to spare!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they need an application that simultaneously posts to YouTube and PeerTube. So creators can effortlessly post to both the existing platform with all the viewers while also adding content to the alternative.

  Similar how OBS can stream to YouTube and Twitch simultaneously.

  If it costs $1.51 I’m gonna flip shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Remote working benefits fathers while childless men miss sense of community⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s something I’ve noticed in general.

  I had an amazing boss who was single and lived alone, and really love her staff. We had unecessarily long staff meetings every week. When I started I was annoyed by them until someone pointed out that the time we spent with everyone getting distracted and going off-topic and padding out the meeting while we ate our lunch around the conference room table was, for her, the weekly family meal.

  I still don’t like unnecessary meetings, but it gave me a different perspective on why some people like them.

  He saw the Escobar phone and thought it was a good plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s awesome AI out there too. AlphaFold completely revolutionized research on proteins, and the medical innovations it will lead to are astounding.

  Determining the 3d structure of a protein took yearsuntil very recently. Folding at Home was a worldwide project linking millions of computers to work on it.

  Alphafold does it in under a second, and has revealed the structure of 200 million proteins. It’s one of the most significant medial achievements in history. Since it essentially dates back to 2022, we’re still a few years from feeling the direct impact, but it will be massive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3100: Alert Sound⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They also had one that made creepy sounds. I had one set to a child laughing in the air vents in a creepy hallway with flickering lights in an old church building.

  It was awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gayte⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it would still techically be more hole since a larger total area would be hole.

  I would be fewer holes, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE thugs pounced on a man right there in the courthouse, mere minutes after his immigration case was dismissed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement. They’re a law enforcement branch focusing on people and arterial entering the country. They should be focusing on human traffic and smuggling, but they’ve been turned into a gestapo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a good question⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. And the sacrifice refers not to Jesus’s suffering and persecution, but what humanity gave up in that sacrifice - God’s active, personal presence on Earth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What did Musk and Trump fall out over?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The bill ends the carbon offset income that’s the largest portion of Tesla’s income. Combined with their sales being in the toilet because everybody hates him, and the company very well may not survive.
