The main reason people aren’t moving to a cheaper place is
You’ve moved to a cheaper place with your remote job. Cool
Your company reduces your salary 20% because of cost of living adjustments (they will).
Cool, now you live in the sticks, make less money. Maybe somewhere you don’t know anyone. Maybe somewhere you’re a minority.
You get laid off, because layoffs
Now you’re looking for a job in a place that doesn’t have jobs, and you can’t move back to California. With a ton more jobs, but harder to move back into.
That’s the real tradeoff.
But some people think success means owning a huge house in a place they don’t know anyone and have no community.

There are many scary things going on in the world, so it's completely understandable if you're finding it difficult to talk about the things that bring you joy.
Even so, if you have something that you're proud of, which you were thinking of sharing anyway, consider doing so as a part of FluConf 2026.
It doesn't need to be big or world-changing. It can simply be a reminder that there are others still taking the time to create things for those around them.
The online event is scheduled for January 31st and February 1st, 2026, and will take place primarily here on the Fediverse.
You can share your proposal any time up until the end of January 30th (two weeks from now) but doing so sooner will allow more time for word to spread about your contribution.

Society isn’t ready for the consequences of this. A generation with zero stake in the system would rather watch it all burn down.

To be clear, “acceptance” doesn't mean giving up or apathy. Maybe it means something different for everyone.
For me, it means accepting that Trump is a symptom, and when he leaves, everything that allowed him to take over will remain.
It means accepting that no one, least of all Democrats, are coming to save us. All we have is us.

I think we are all in different stages of the five stages of grief, and it makes it impossible to communicate with each other.
You can immediately tell who's in denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I definitely went through all of the in the past decade.
I find bargaining to be the most annoying lol. At any rate, we should probably keep this in mind when conversing on the web. It's something I want to try to do 😅

Mastodon FeedPrusa really, really needs to fix a bunch of stuff in their "buddy" firmware right now.
I hope they get their multi-tool state management fixed, not only for the XL but also the upcoming INDX launch. It seems there are just too many edge cases, and in the worst case the machine likes to bang a loaded tool against the frame or another parked tool. Not cool.

"The mirage of AI deregulation"
> But the pattern itself—the systematic preference for executive discretion over deliberative process—reveals an approach to governance that will shape AI policy regardless of how individual cases are decided. This is not deregulation. Not in the least. It is hyper-regulation by other means.
