The only assumption he’s making is that, if you refer to yourself as “pro-life”, you mean what everyone else in America who calls themselves “pro-life” means. It’s a reasonable assumption, I mean, that’s the way words work.

Sounds like you better not vote then.

Note: I’m only giving you this special advice, everyone else definitely should vote.

John Oliver convinced me that Jill Stein is a dumbfuck back in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3O01EfM5fU

They aren’t marginalized or ‘left behind,’ though they feel excluded. They want to keep their white, Christian, male privilege.

That pretty much sums it up – do I even need to read the article?

We used to have these shit developers and I accepted a lot of bad code back then – if it actually worked – because otherwise “code review” is full-on training, which is an entire other job from the one I was hired to do.

The client ditched that contracting firm, and the devs I work with now are worth putting in time on code review with – but damn, we got hella shit code in our codebase to deal with now. Some of it got tossed, some of it … we live with.

Distro wars, like the old vi vs emacs wars (showing my age, I know) is not entirely serious. I never understood sportsball fandom, but it’s kind of like that. Debian is my home team; if you use Fedora, you’re from out-of-town.

If your point is that Harris’s campaign team is full of people looking out for corporate interests, and that reflects poorly on her prospects for taking the side of the people when our interests oppose theirs … ok. It seems like you got a couple of snippets of evidence supporting that thesis: go, get your ducks in a row, and make a blog post with lots of links laying out the evidence as you see it, and we can consider it.

Making a headline that’s clearly deceptive when considered to be a description of the linked article (which is totally what it is; there is no wiggle room on this) is not going to do anything but annoy people and get them to vote down your post, even if the information considered on its own is something we’d want to know. Someone else will post it with a reasonable headline, and we’ll vote that one up.

I highly recommend this video to anyone interested in the history of the Haitian debt: https://youtu.be/WpWb3MTV9bg?si=DHz4ZFaFr2Zhidy-

Here’s a reference for those who don’t recognize this.

Yeah, it’s gotten so bad I eventually ordered a USB cable checker to figure out what any given USB cable is capable of (and to see if the cable has gone flaky, which seems to happen a lot). I haven’t received it yet so I don’t know if I can recommend this item, but … gosh darn you sure need something like this.

You’re going to make me look that up, aren’t you? Here’s a good summary of said ‘groomer mod’ scandal.

This appears to have originated at ifunny.co. So, not likely to be a real classroom exercise.

The headline is inaccurate; what’s being referred to is this part of a statement from NaNoWriMo on the use of AI:

We also want to be clear in our belief that the categorical condemnation of Artificial Intelligence has classist and ableist undertones, and that questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege (source)

That’s plenty bad enough, no need to embellish it.

Although safety is certainly a legitimate issue, I can almost guarantee that car manufacturers will use that as an excuse to kill this form of competition – yet another way in which capitalism is dooming our species to extinction.

This is an informative chart that definitely contributes to the discussion. Without any clue where it comes from, though, I have no way to gauge its credibility.

For people asking what this is about, I didn’t look at the NYT because of the paywall, but here’s an article that’s very similar in tone from NPR.

Although they do state

The dozen Harris statements lacking in context are far less in comparison to 162 misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies that NPR found from Trump’s hour-long news conference Aug. 8.

the following items are really nit-picky. It’s laid out as a list of misleading statements, but reading the details of each makes me think “ok, so basically true, then”.

It’s kind of a shame that Jonathan Mann got wrapped up in all this NFT grift. Many of his songs are quite catchy, I recommend checking him out on YouTube if you haven’t already.
