I just had an epiphany. Hear me out:
The *real* reason some people don't like CSS is because it's the only programming language that makes your skill with it (or lack thereof) visible and obvious to anyone who sees your work.
People who don't like CSS actually don't like that it doesn't let them bullshit their way through it.

I didn’t know how deliberately unprofitable Unity was, I assumed they had modest profits before the VC nonsense [edit: actually they did pre 2016] Billions of debt. They did the thing of burning through money to wipe everyone else out & get into a position of dominance, before hitting the screw-tightening button on their captive customer base. You know, the standard late capitalism shitty monopolist manoeuvre. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/unitys-self-combustion-engine-this-week-in-business

Creationists are nothing but an object lesson in how not to think.
Mastodon FeedThe #Rust Foundation keeps fucking up.
Now they’re taking pocket change for endorsing a DoD contractor that wants to automate murder (“AI to deliver faster and more accurate decision-making at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels”).
Is there nobody at this soulless corporate institution that could say “wait, are we the baddies?”

Update: my 4yo thinks the bridge says "every night that summer just to seal my face / ice cream for whatever it's worth"
It's hard to tell for certain but I'm pretty sure my kid believes Taylor Swift wrote a song about eating ice cream every night in the summer
NOBODY RUIN THIS FOR ME OR FOR HIM

Quite an irony seeing people commenting on a Musk-bashing article about "ugh, this guys again". Yes, he will be "again and again" precisely because people like you can't hold themselves from leaving their useless "ugh" in the comments.
Same with Trump and all this "oh horrible mainstream media propping him up". Yes, it sells. Because you keep reading it and having tantrums about it.
(I'm not complaining btw, I'm resigned to human nature being what it is.)

Side note: Cruel Summer is off Lover, which came out in 2019, but was just released this year as a single.
Has any artist ever released a single off an album from four years and three albums ago? That's just wild to me.

I wrote down some thoughts about the current trend of calling AI-generated UIs "innovative" and exaggerating their ability to create production ready code.
The TLDR is we've been here before and it doesn't feel new.

By prioritizing workers and the middle class, Biden has created the best economy in decades—for everyone. “Inflation is low, unemployment is low and there’s virtually no hint of a recession. But many Americans, according to surveys, are convinced the economy is terrible.”
How do journalists explain this paradox? Either it’s an unfathomable mystery, or it’s Biden’s poor messaging.
The obvious explanation—that journalists are failing at THEIR job—escapes them.
