"Why can't we just agree to disagree on politics?" My dude. - Agree to disagree was called pro-choice. You ended it and shoved authoritarian control of women's bodies down our throats. - Agree to disagree was called LGBTQ inclusion. You banned it from schools, libraries, bathrooms, sports and the military. - Agree to disagree was called Black Lives Matter. You mocked it and spat on it and threatened us with violence if we "try that in a small town". - Agree to disagree was called Democracy. You traitors tried to kill it and install a military coup of your orange god emperor instead. So no. Apparently, "we" CAN'T agree to disagree. And that's entirely your fault.

As many of you know, the third party iPhone/iPad app Metatext is no longer being maintained as the lead developer had health issues. However, there is now a community-maintained version of the app called Feditext. You can follow the latest news about it at:

➡️ @Feditext

It’s not yet in the Apple app store, but it is currently being tested through Test Flight.

Techy people can see the source code of the project at https://github.com/feditext/feditext

Incredible example of car brain from the @nytimes

Since all the collisions mentioned involve children, the author decided the problem must be ebikes.

Not the drivers who hit the children.
Not the mutli-ton vehicles that make collisions deadly.
And not the DOTs that knowingly design deadly streets.

Nope, it’s the ebike.

Generative AI has changed programming indeed.

My code is now “artisanal”, “hand-crafted” and “untouched by machine”. It should be classified as art. ✨

I am classified as a code chef now since I don’t use Microsoft GitHub Copilot. I will produce tiny amounts of neat code in a large amount of time and charge you $1000 for each sample*.

* Extra if you need semicolons in JavaScript.
** Semicolons will be sprinkled from a height.

concern trolling about putting trans people in jail because “what if they sexually assault someone”

my neighbor, where is your concern about the already existing, pervasive, encouraged, so common its ingrained in our popular culture, sexual assault in jails and prisons? by both inmates and guards, like, WHY ARE YOU ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT PRISONERS SAFETY WHEN ITS ABOUT A TRANS PERSON?! HAVE YOU CONSIDERED WHY YOU DIDN’T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THAT BEFORE TRANS PEOPLE CAME INTO THE PICTURE?! WHERE THE FUCK WAS YOUR CONCERN ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT IN JAILS BEFORE?!

WHERE WAS IT?! WHERE, MOTHERFUCKER?!
