US Supreme Court blocks student loan forgiveness plan

Yikes man, as a gov't worker who gets paid less than my counter-parts in my industry: there are people who work for less in a capitalistic system for the betterment of others and are proud of it. You have no idea what you're talking about.

E: not every person has blinders about "what's in it for me." And it's not "communistic" to do so.

What's your "old person" trait?

I spent a decade as am automotive locksmith, and watching things regularly fail on cars that passed through my shop has made me terrified with the touch screen. I cannot imagine replacing one of those and how easily first parties can lock replacement behind getting it done at one of their shops.

Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important

Well, I mean, in the United States our culture is built around "business good; much innovation" and anything to stymie corporate efforts is met with groans of "you'll understand why it must be this way when you're older." It's almost reflex for some to be apologists for corporations.

Heck, I even read some takes around that damned submarine being along the lines of "we shouldn't regulate the sub industry -- that CEO was just trying to innovate!"

Gaming has become the main task I expect my Linux device to do expertly!
