Everything that happens in a government workplace should be FULLY public information. That's the last place recording equipment should be banned...unless you hate freedom.

The Obama-era "net neutrality" bill had so much anti-consumer and and anti-privacy stuff crammed in it, it had to be killed. I think we all like the idea of net neutrality, but you need to read the text to see what else it allows or requires. It's tough to find good, clean laws these days.

Everybody needs to search for themselves things like FTP, ACAB, and 40% of cops.

The reality is that we'll be just fine.

Businesses will always attempt to profit. To profit, all costs of doing business must be handed off to the customer.

The half of the country that is below average intelligence is really fucking the rest of us over.

It doesn't matter.

Talking about the command line just goes to show how long it's been since you've tried Linux, if you ever have.

only socialize for 35 minutes a day. They have more free time, but they spend it participating in surveys.

Democrats don't make things better. This is a generational shift in work culture. And, while ~40% aren't in the "labor force," almost nobody is without a source of income. Lots of people have passive earnings, or are making money outside of what is tracked. And good for them, since almost 40% goes to an overabundance of taxes.

Look up how the carbon footprint came to be. It's such a silly metric, like how many billiard balls your toilet can flush. It's not based on anything scientific, it's just a made-up number that carries no real world significance.

And there's zero proof that storms have gotten more severe ever. Damage caused by storms has gotten more expensive, simply because of inflation and more things being built where storms can damage them, but the storms themselves are no worse than they've ever been.

I hate articles like this so much.

Global warming is beneficial. Longer growing seasons, for one. There are more deaths from cold than heat. This will help.

Will it finally be honest?

That PC has already been converted to Linux.

Despite being a Linux fan and desktop/handheld user, there are a handful of apps I happen to spend a lot of time in that are significantly more stable and polished on iOS than Android. That consistency has a lot of value to me, and that's why I bought Apple - or at least why I bought Apple this time. I'm running a 3rd-gen iPad Air, which is definitely showing its age now, and an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
