  • There are over 20 million people employed at the federal, state and local governments in the United States, making it one of if not the largest employer in the world. We're in for a bumpy ride if they get away with such massive layoffs

  • Dude my last 2 job changes were due to layoffs. I had to take the first job offer I got after about 50 job applications because the job market absolutely sucks right now, and honestly I'm not happy with the job I could land because availability forced me to accept some red flags and compromises that I could see from the get-go of the interview process. I'm going to keep applying but I'm not holding my breath at this stage of things

  • Dems Reportedly Angry That Progressives Are Pushing Them to Act Like an Opposition Party.

  • It kinda broke the usual "THEY WANT TO TAKE OUR GUNS" crap when the Democratic candidates on the ticket are both gun owners (and Walz and avid hunter)

  • The Republican party has used every dirty tactic they can to advance their agenda regardless of their current count of votes in the house or Senate. Remember how they refused to confirm a Supreme Court pick for over a year on the off chance that they'd win the 2016 election? Remember how they stonewalled and blocked anything and everything every way they could during the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations? There is no "they go low we go high" because all that gets is more incrementalism

  • Ongoing trends would indicate a significant drop in birth rate is extremely likely. Major cities will most likely be facing population shrinkage by the end of the century

  • Up until we practically landed boots IN germany, we didn’t really have any idea what was going on, that’s part of why it took so long for anything to be done

    There were people who specifically got themselves arrested to observe conditions within the concentration camps and then escape because some reports of conditions were too unbelievable

  • The very first hacker purposely damaged the contact that read the value that stored if a citizen was Jewish on the punch cards of census data in occupied France (if I'm remembering correctly) it's not known how many he saved but he did pay the ultimate price and died in the concentration camps for his sabotage efforts

    Edit: my memory was close. René Carmille specifically delayed the June 1941 report on the numbers of Jewish citizens and foreigners so that it still wasn't complete by the time of his ultimate arrest in 1944, and utilized his position to create extremely real fake identities for escaping refugees amongst other resistance actions

  • My day was simultaneously both ruined and made far more exciting for the existence of that comment. So maybe net-0? I suppose in a roundabout way you could say you're solving climate change!

  • Funnily enough at a macro scale the economy was in super good shape as trump took office with all economic indicators pointing upward. Wages grew by over 4% year over year while inflation was less than 3% meanwhile the price increases that were seen over 2021-2023ish were either rolled back or otherwise ceased being increased. Trump could literally do nothing, let the existing trends play out over 4 years and retire with an economy worth bragging about.

    Obviously he's not going to and is enacting explicitly inflationary policies, so we're likely to see more hyperinflation within the next few years

  • It would not be fraud to round up the change that's handed back to a person to the nearest 5¢, plus businesses already factor in far more than 0-4¢ per transaction for credit card fees, so an added cost of 0-4¢ per cash transaction with the bonus of increased efficiency by having fewer coins to count and track makes it a very easy change to make

  • Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?

  • The concept of file extensions really break down when it comes to audio and video files

    Honestly anywhere other than windows they start getting a bit funky since most ecosystems don't actually rely on the filename to determine the file type

    It also doesn't help that so many file types are just a bunch of text files shoved into a zip file wearing a mask. It's all abstractions all the way down baby!

  • Find somewhere that accepts/generates ewaste and you might be able to score an internal CD/DVD drives. We were doing some reorganizing at work and I saw a literal box full of 5.25" drives

  • Chances are the practice will just be to round to the nearest 5¢ on cash transactions. Is it actually worth the time to worry about a few cents on the handful of cash transactions in a day?

  • I mean, I should have washed my towels because I ran out of clean towels last night but here we are at bedtime and it's not been done. That's got as close to nothing to do with capitalism as it gets but it's certainly got a lot to do with being productive and it's something I should have done today but didn't
