It seems like there’s more to it since you generally also have to pay the union dues, is that factored into the math here?

Unions are tricky. Police union that keeps cops from being punished? Idk maybe not great. Union that pays dock workers that don’t actually work to keep automation from ruining the job landscape? I’m not sure. Teachers negotiating for fair pay? Seems great!!

Like all things in society, we need nuance, not “unions good” or “unions bad”

No cap that might actually keep without boiling your bottles, you have on your hands a tomato shrub XD

Ah my thermometer only reads fahrenheit, so you know I’m naturally confused about temperatures

That’s true, I love taking a hot water bath, and it’s been completely safe so far

Today I learned that people do canning at home without a proper pressure cooker

Whoops Atlassian has 4 offices in the US including SF and NY

I think for those that wanted Teslas, they realized they have to buy them before the tariff war gets too hot. So ironically there’s a surge of purchases

Ideology aside, they make some very good cars, and I don’t blame people for buying them

VPNs don’t help here, the website asks you for your driver’s license. Tbf giving your credit card to them is typically enough for them (big tech + govt) to construct a full profile of who you are anyway, and that was the original “age gate” – though there are some services that make CCs modestly privacy preserving – not the case for IDs

Good question. I don’t actually know. My previous statement is a lie, I’ve only seen them in movies

I’ve been lucky enough to find some women that are a lot of fun to be around, and understand my interests at a deep level. I’d describe it as kind of like friendship, but with a woman

Men become feral if left alone long enough. They identify with the mountains and the moss. They smoke their pipe tobacco while looking longingly along a river. They maintain weight for the winter. They become one with the universe. Then they become horny and the great cycle continues

Haha thanks, that was fun

I’ve been using folding phones for the last 4 years and it’s awesome. There’s no downside and a lot of benefits

• yo screen dont break
• you can clip it onto your shirt with the flashlight on
• it fits into weird little pockets
• you can use it as a stand for another phone to watch youtubes

Don’t worry, as agents are on the rise, LLMs are learning iterative testing & tool use. I just published a new MCP tool for Cline which uses WolframAlpha to solve maths and other knowledge. It works great, and Cline can iterate to try different variants of prompts it sends to Wolfram if the syntax isn’t quite right. Then it ingests the result into context and can continue with the knowledge it gained

Everything is customizable if you are brave enough with the code :)

But yeah gnome is known for breaking changes & rewrites. As a result, Cosmic desktop was born to be more stable and reliable with plugins. That’s ~alpha. But if you truly wanna DIY, then the tiling window managers are king. Stuff like dwm and awesomewm where you configure every part of the UI and can easily make your own widgets

I genuinely can’t find it in me to care about the name of a place

Nice read, thanks. Flutter seems like a more obvious choice for apps: can run on web, understands mobile UX, has all the plugins … but I like the path godot is on

Definitely outclassed by modern tech, switches have advanced a lot, you can find whatever you’re looking for these days

Oh fire, he got it up on the site

Overall, it looks like a note editor made in a game engine. Good job, nice retro style

You made a note taker using a game engine?? Why & where is the video demo? :D
