and you get a musical accompaniment, since you have plenty of organs to play...

@gary_bbgames

thank you for publishing.

i would love to see more tech that takes sight/dexterity issues into account.

"ooh. is that cream? looks like a lot of cream. i'd be happy to help you with that."

@georgetakei

maybe he means that they should be on notice that there will be more vacancies to fill in the current administration and that this background is perfect?

@skinnylatte

LOL.

wonder if this is like the VT campaign "welcome to Vermont. now go home."...

@Ask_aubry

not corrected nor led by a man, if that is a woman's choice? sure sounds like win/win to me.

@jwildeboer

hopefully the israelis and houthis go along. i know if i were a ship captain, i wouldn't want to go through...

@inthehands

one of the truly amazing things about human beings is that while there are definitely ordinary folks capable of horrific acts or collaborations, there are ordinary folks capable of true selflessness, love, and heroism. enough folks choosing to do right can move mountains.

it's one of the cheapest and most humane ways to raise graduation rates & test scores, lower absenteeism.

if someone is all bent about "someone taking advantage of free school meals", that tells me more about that person than about problems with the program.

@mhoye @mekkaokereke

all sorts of services. education, food programs, health, public transportation, postal services.

they are public goods. they don't need to "make a profit". any decently run program won't have enough fraud to make it worth charging money and tracking the use. what they will save in costs and result in overall improvement in quality of life for all will more than make them worth it.

problem is, as soon as you say anything like that (or universal health care, UBI, etc.) there are screams of "that's communism" (no it isn't) or "socialism" (not exactly). capitalism (which we don't really have either) is a sacred cow. no one dares to criticize capitalism.

sigh...

@tarmil @mcc @glyph

much of the damage of car design, suburbs, non-walkable cities started in the US in the 1950s and has been the trend more or less since.

i do see more trends to undo that kind of thinking in EU these days and i think it's a good thing.

@mcc @glyph

an important lesson.

the flip side is that cities in the netherlands, in france, etc. have reversed this, reclaimed areas as more suitable for pedestrians and bikes. let's see if we can't do some trend reversal in tech too.

@anderseknert

it's available in the US (choose time order rather than "recommended"). you can also choose to not see political posts.

it's still the cesspool that is linkedin but is a shallower, easier to wade through cesspool.

@GeofCox

it's a lot harder to treat other people as truly "other" if you hang out with them, go to school with them, have drinks at a cafe or pub with them. that process of dehumanizing and designating as "other" is a key part of fascism/racism/hate.

@danslimmon

that and that the big boys, like google and outlook, who like to think they are too big to block, are huge sources of spam and refuse to clean up their own customer bases. they make money on spammers, not legit users bombarded with spam.

personally, i've always pronounced SQL as "squeal", since that's usually my reaction when i have to deal with it.

DNS could be "dins". with small TTLs, it's really really noisy.
