‘It’s literally going to break me.’ Commuting is now unaffordable for some American workers
I'm patiently waiting to see what else it takes for Americans to overthrow this government.
From his pedophile ring to unlawful executive orders, wars, tariffs.. Trump keeps breaking the law and acts outside their beloved constitution. All with consent from the majority in both ruling parties, either by direct support (R) or silence (D).

We should push other phone OEM's such as Fairphone and Samsung to work with PostmarketOS, GrapheneOS, and Ubuntu Touch
And I encourage everyone to write to banks and other service providers to provide apks directly or through F-Droid

Do I belong in tech anymore? - On quitting, the spread of AI, and the loss of an ideal.
Oh I've been on a similar journey, after a year long break I'm back in the education space and things have only gotten worse.
I voiced concern about professors using LLMs to create presentations. The sloppy images with nonsense text are one thing, but it's hallucinating on actual content. Since I'm learning, I can't be certain if something on this topic is true or an hallucination. My criticism was understood as me just not being tech savvy enough for AI.
I'll probably drop the course and get my money back, I could get a chatgpt subscription for a lot less..
I've beefed up my legal insurance because I believe the only way to hammer some sense into people and businesses is to sue when their agentic ai makes mistakes. Currently nobody seems accountable for the output and that has to change.

It's all about quantity in corporate. Performative employees get further quicker compared to quiet ones that actually deliver quality output.

Wtf is this garbage?! Hungary might be past getting reliable surveys in the population, but odds on Polymarket are not a reliable replacement.

YSK that Vaseline, or petroleum jelly, is a fossil fuel derivative. It should also never be used as a lubricant with condoms, it can mess with the latex and make it break more easily.

Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software
Google and their big tech buddies made their choice by supporting Trump's regime. I know actions have consequences is a concept that doesn't apply in the US, but elsewhere it does. Deal with it.

Dual citizens weigh Trump, taxes in decision to renounce U.S. citizenship
In my circle of friends none of the US Americans living abroad file their tax returns and haven't done so for many years.. especially if you're not planing to move back to the US, I really don't see the need to continue compliance with the IRS or renounce a citizenship. Keep that passport and keep voting. Throw dog shit over the embassy fence.

General Motors to pay $12.75m settlement for selling drivers’ location and data
So a cut of the profits?
Anything below what they made from the sale + a hefty fine is a joke and unjust.
