Sometimes I just want a lightweight markdown viewer. Something less than an IDE, but has a bit more formatting support than a text editor.

Just finished Lanterns. Solid show that doesn't require watching other superhero media.

Just started Cyberpunk Edgerunners S2. I'm only 2 episodes in, but I'm digging it so far. There's a short monologue by the character Roman that definitely feels like it's a criticism of AI-generated content, which I quite enjoyed.

Y'all tripping the UI is fine.

The original article is from Axios. They do point out that there's organic opposition, but the title is definitely sensational and arguably disinformation.

Now, even if they actually are adding extra to the conversation, there's still plenty of people unhappy about data centers. If foreign bots were adding noise to the Cornell case, does that invalidate what happened to Jane Doe?

We see the videos from town halls, we see the pictures of the water, we hear the recordings of the noise pollution. We see all the extra infrastructure that sometimes cuts through people's property.

There are legitimate concerns that people want to be addressed.

People who study how to convince people are more trusted than people trained to talk in technical jargon about specific fields. Shocker there.

Or maybe people could just not be creeps?

Glad he mentioned Honey/PayPal isn't the only one operating in this space. Capital One has been trying to push their program on me for quite some time.

So sounds like their main concern is addressing the abuses of the FAANG monopolies, and only a Republican has talked to them about it.

I guess that is understandable in that very narrow lens, but it's a bit laughable considering how all the big tech companies are also cozying up to the Trump administration. All this has done for me is make me wary of anything Proton does now.

AOC for Speaker! Congress needs fixing too.

It's not really a win though. It just means Linux will get blocked by platforms.

Rapid and safe don't go together

This is a marathon not a sprint. Don't burn yourself out emotionally.

Lol and go where? From what I can tell, Canada has a housing crisis and is tilting right. Western Europe is already getting sick of immigrants and dealing with the far right.

Yoon said he had no choice but to resort to such a measure in order to safeguard free and constitutional order, saying opposition parties have taken hostage of the parliamentary process to throw the country into a crisis.

Not very familiar with the political situation in Seoul, but saying your political opponents are supporting North Korea sounds like a pretty serious accusation.

Whatever you want it to mean!

Crazy thought: What if both platforms are bad?

The CFPB said that medical debt is a poor predictor of an individual’s ability to repay a loan. Experian, Equifax and TransUnion, the three national credit reporting agencies, said last year that they were removing medical collections debt under $500 from U.S. consumer credit reports.

So even the credit reporting agencies are recognizing that medical debt isn't reflective of what the credit scores should be. Sounds like more evidence that there is a big problem with healthcare in this country.

Edit: I meant “credit reporting agencies” not “credit unions”

I feel like I can hear the Technology Connections guy take a deeeeep inhale and a long exhale.

It's not about "minor discomfort." The Fediverse has too much UX friction for someone that isn't in tech/used to a product that isn't mature in features or content. Even if they are fine with that, they need to spend time to figure out what server(s) to trust, or at least an organization they can sue if things go wrong.

Ranting about "normies" instead of listening and understanding what their needs and concerns are is not conducive to growth, but it'll certainly help it decay.
