@fromjason people REALLLLLY don't get this, and I don't get it. It's about the power, it's about the misery, it's about being as high above the rest of us as possible. They already have more money than they know what to do with, literally. The money doesn't really matter to them. The power does.

"Billionaires spent just as much trying to defeat #Mamdani than if they just paid their taxes"

Yeah because it's not just about the money. It's about the misery. Misery makes for obedient workers. Can't have people walking around with pocket change because the bus is free, and a clear head because their kids are well taken care of. Who's working an extra twenty hours a week in those conditions?

#Capitalism is built on capital but it thrives on misery.

i just saw a screenshot of some linux distro. i was like. what window manager is this? what UI theme? it looked kinda like one of those fancy "we're easy to use!" linux distros you see. yknow where they make it look kinda like Mac OS. but there's always some small, telltale signs: odd text alignment, unclear, monochrome icons, an overall lack of polish. you can tell it's not a *real* Mac because of those. anyway i looked a bit closer, and it actually was Mac OS. thats what a Mac looks like now

Shout out to Claire* and Eugen for doing the frontend on this, I got pulled away to work on other things and so they pushed it over da finish line and added a whole new AsyncRefresh feature on top.

#FetchAllReplies is for all the small instances out there! it makes a huge difference: not just seeing more stuff, but you can really feel how big of a deal it was to have been missing all the second-order convos that happen between people that weren't already mutuals once it started happening.

Moderation is the other big winner from reply fetching, as now harassment that would previously only be visible to the target and the poster can be spotted, reported, and removed by anyone passing by.

Glad its now default!

It’s vaguely annoying that I’ve become attuned to a sense of ambient reactionary vibes in areas I’d otherwise dig, and I don’t know how much of it is my previous youthful obliviousness and how much is businesses more often engaging in subtle (or loud) signaling these days.

Shout out to Clipse for their 5 Grammy nominations, including Best Hip-Hop Album, and Album of The Year.

I’m so happy. Let God Sort’em Out was such a fantastic album and an unexpected dose of my younger years.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"The New Orleans general strike was a general strike in the U.S. city of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, that began on November 8, 1892. Despite appeals to racial hatred, black and white workers remained united. The general strike ended on November 12, with unions gaining most of their original demands."

Fifteen years ago, Bangladesh relied on costly imported cancer drugs, spending over Tk1,000 crore annually and leaving treatment out of reach for most. Over the past decade, local pharmaceutical growth, spurred by rising cancer cases and supportive policies, has transformed access - now, about 95% of cancer medicines are made domestically, making life-saving care far more affordable.
