I hate when leftists get into some bragging and shaming about suffering nonsense ... I had one once try and get on my case for literally just flying with my family to go have Christmas on a beach because they couldn't afford to fly and didn't have family. Like ... I'm sorry? But me making memories with the family I have isn't about you?

Hey people with privilege,It's okay to lean on your privilege from time to time. -

It's okay to lean on your privilege from time to time.Acknowledge your privilege, don't use it to harm others, but it's okay. Take a (non crazy extravagant) vacation. Buy some reasonably priced luxuries. Take advantage of the support your friends, family, class, career, whatever else offers you.

All these leftists need to think through the unintended consequences of their proposals.@oblomov @beecycling @geekysteven
Again, why is this being treated as an either-or? -
All these leftists need to think through the unintended consequences of their proposals.I see high speed rail as some combination of:
It sounds cool so some people will choose to ride it simply because of the cool factor
By having the infrastructure to support high speed says something about the passenger rail network itself, and is going to imply the high speed trains have right of way on the tracks
It expands the distance that it becomes as fast or faster to take the train over taking a plane. Trains are city center--> city center and no security, they are oftentimes faster than a plane for medium distance trips. By having high speed trains, it means there's even more distance before it becomes faster to take a plane.

Okay, I could give them a battle of wills.My spicy take of the day:
Bring.
Back.
Administrative Assistants.For fucks sake, have people in the office who are literally professionals in drafting and editing memos, scheduling meetings, figuring out travel, coordination with other folks, hell, making a good cup of coffee. It's IMPORTANT WORK!

Just to confirm with all y'all - are there any mod managers that actually work on Linux?Just to confirm with all y'all - are there any mod managers that actually work on Linux? Steam Deck particularly? If so I haven't been able to find any yet, and I'm tired of trying to fuck around with managing mods manually.

“Can I vent?If you want as close to an A/B test in misogyny in industry as you can get, talk to trans women. Legit the same exact person before and after, and many many of us watch our careers stall out. I've seen my raises and bonuses halt entirely for the last 5 years while team members get raises and bonuses. I had a great grand boss directly interfering with my work and bashing my communication styles when I asked many of my colleagues and they said they saw nothing different in how I communicated than a great many of my men colleagues.
Now I daily consider how much longer I'll make it in tech.

I got a British cookbook, and why the hell are there measurements in grams, milliliters, but ALSO tablespoons and teaspoons? For fucks sake. Be consistent...
5 ml and 15 ml are right there.

It's so funny to me that literally any and all news about Fedi is framedFediverse is not even a difficult concept to explain to normies.
It's basically what if thousands of twitters, but also, you can follow and talk to anyone from any other Twitter.

Advice for community managers:@p4pa @pathunstrom They're fascists when they act like fascists. I refuse to make some formal criteria, because fascists are the worst at bad faith arguing "but I didn't ACTUALLY break any rules, I was just asking questions and posing hypotheticals!"
Besides. Even if I block someone who isn't ACTUALLY a fascist, they're still someone being an ass, and I don't need that noise in my life.

If I had a penny for every time I heard something like@saraislet Then can we skip the greedy meat sacks and just have Agentic Management? It'd probably not do all that much worse, and cost 100,000,000x less
