Long term computer programmer, making my own library. American based. Far left politically. Politics centered around promoting use of paper ballots. Follows news about environmental collapse, political corruption in my country, human rights, science and tech.

  • Do any of you here use Programming socks?

    Jump

  • Some socks have horrible return times

  • The US is on an egg hunt in Europe to ease prices at home

    Jump

  • I don’t understand egg-xactly how that would work? Eu standards are different. Would the new administration change fda rules out of hand, eliminating the wash and change mandated ( because USA eggs are so nasty in the factory farms this is required); or would someone connected make bank in a new scam to “process” them? Either way, there are not enough eggs to bring down prices, so all this is just a demented publicity stunt, with Americans being egged on about it

  • DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse

    Jump

  • More like the department will be crippled for years. The replaced code will not work, corrupting data. I fully expect them to make it hard to replace the new stuff with the older systems which has tens of millions of moving parts.

    The damage will be so great that people applying for social security a generation from now will still feel aftereffects

    Rubio says at least 300 foreign students’ visas have been revoked

  • It’s more like the rubes listen how about terrorists are being stopped from doing their dastardly plans, and why did the dems not do that before?

  • Why do programmers want to quit programming and start a homestead?

    Jump

  • Similar; been programming for long time, but sometimes have breaks ( was fired, laid off, stuck in small town with small kids, etc).

    And I did everything from Taco Bell, to driving big rigs, to laborer doing demolition, to prison guard.

    And it just felt so good to not sit at a desk, I think in some ways coding is a very unhealthy lifestyle

  • US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigns

    Jump

  • I will never understand how people can blindly defend Biden, or even think that the destruction of infrastructure on a massive scale is business as usual. Or cannot be stopped under any circumstance.

    Perhaps you and others have no clue of the extent of the damage , or perhaps you don’t care? Perhaps it makes you feel better to think nothing could be done.

    Honestly feel contempt at this moment

  • US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigns

    Jump

  • Who knows? I would like to think that; my point is, that if Biden officially recognized what was happening , and made it a point to try to stop the damage, then lots of options come open after that.

    But, he ignored that: we will never know

  • US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigns

    Jump

  • He could have allowed criminal charges against DeJoy, it’s hard to keep one’s position if convicted and serving a multi year sentence.

    DeJoy destroyed so much of the infrastructure that he could have easily been charged for dozens of things, even murder when prescribed medications were lost by the tens of thousands due to the backlogs he created.

  • US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigns

    Jump

  • He could have, but had excuses. There were always excuses here, there , in hundreds of things that were not done, never intended to be done.

    Ultimately it was worth more to allow the sabotage to continue rather than pay the political price.

  • Voting rights saga over race-based redistricting comes to US supreme court

    Jump

  • I see no threat to their job, their real job, which pays handsomely . And they get to cosplay as judges

  • Schumer Didn’t Know the Can of Whoop-Ass He Was Opening

    Jump

  • This is all true, but unless ranked choice and paper ballots are used in a lot of states, which will never happen, then all this will become is a money making party to run failed elections.

    USA federal politics is broken. Full stop. It cannot be resurrected. Democracy exists in some states but not others, and the Democratic Party rules in the states which are not lost causes.

    One cannot run a federal government with many of the red states having their own cabals of mini authoritarian arseholes. Those red states and many of the purple states are lost causes

  • I was surprised ice was working with other agencies to raid her apartment and arrest her. She could ignore ice, by not answering the door, but could not have ignored the others.

  • America Is Watching the Rise of a Dual State | For most people, the courts will continue to operate as usual—until they don’t.

    Jump

  • Tri-state allows us to have the unjust legal two state system, while now being yanked out of court altogether for fun and games.

    The way it normally works is that at first, the people bring yanked will be only the occasional political protester, or some other rare thing. Most people will never have to deal with this.

    But it gets worse, it always gets worse every time this develops, and it is hard to undo.

    But even when it’s worse, most people will not be switched over, but the fear of that happening will persist.

  • Social Security chief’s ‘Turn It Off’ comment is latest insane turn for beleaguered agency

    Jump

  • I don’t think so; just a lot of quiet suffering and a storm of online activity.

    People will have no clue what to do, no leaders to help them, and no support to protest.

    So, no mass protests except by a few in very large cities like we have already seen the last few years

  • He is not wrong. Unless people start to take steps , the dependency of tech will be used to chain most of us. Granted, these chains will be the kindest and gentlest chains seen in a long time.

    Social revolution lives on in decentralized services, like this; the true battles will be later though. This year is a mild warm up. I can’t imagine the challenges that await many

  • In all seriousness: if extreme poverty was good enough for most of my ancestors, it’s good enough for me?
