Yeah, there’s just nothing new to report, and it’s not like Luigi is going to talk to media or anything right now. More will come.

Yes, I only respect journalists who never update their opinions or recommendations given new information. Everyone needs to use psychic foresight to determine the best takes and then never ever change them. Meta was always exactly as bad as it is today. /s

Yeah, I edited the post to call that out specifically

That’s not what the article is about. Stack Overflow has kept content that Luigi created up, but removed his username, in violation of Creative Commons. Edited the post to make that more clear.

Preemptive compliance.

Do you have other examples? Because the article gave an example of a similar account that was not anonynized like this. Sure, accounts are often taken down, but the content isn’t left up.

At a certain point, even with an ever-expanding number of lanes, everyone having their car becomes limiting not freeing. Because we’re all on the roads all at the same time all the time, it takes longer to get places and we have to spend more of our time planning on the off-chance there might be traffic because a short drive to Tacoma could be 30 minutes or 2 hours. It doesn’t make you feel free to do what you want, because everyone else is also using their freedom to the point that everything is clogged and backed up all the time and everyone is so tired of it all they’ve taken to driving like maniacs since the pandemic.

This is what toxic individualists don’t understand about collectivism: sacrificing a little bit of freedom can get you more freedom in the long run. I sacrifice the freedom to kill random people and in exchange I get freedom from most of the fear of being randomly murdered. I sacrifice the freedom to throw mercury in the garbage and I gain freedom from mercury poisoning. I sacrifice the freedom of driving straight out of my driveway onto a big ugly stroad and I gain the freedom to walk safely out of my front door onto a nice quiet street.

This is a great overview of what we know about Mangione and, if he was the shooter, what likely drove him. Chronic pain is horrible and so are insurance companies.

This is also at least the third story I’ve heard of someone having their life ruined by a beginner surfing injury. He seems like a normal, decent dude (for being 26, rich, and a tech bro) and it really sucks that that happened to him. Murder is bad etc but I get it.

The people who are most likely to suffer in the next 4 years are also the people with the fewest resources. If those of us with enough resources to leave do so, who will be left to fight for those who can’t?

I thought it meant that all the icons/interfaces for AI seem to have a graphical gradient between colors, usually cool colors like blue/purple/pink. (Like the face in the meme)

Yeah, in an article talking about how news stories about crime often show pictures of tents, they pointed out that the photo is of a crime scene, but the crime was not committed by those living in the tents.

I switched to standing-only at work about 10 years ago and it’s been great, except for a 2-year stretch where the cleaners in the building I worked in would somehow find a free desk chair and push it under my desk every. single. night. So every morning when I got to work there’d be an office chair sitting on my standing mat and I’d have to find somewhere to put it. I tried moving it far away, finding a chairless desk on the other side of the building, but somehow they kept finding me a chair I didn’t want and rolling it onto my mat. Eventually I got a little guest stool and would pull that over onto my mat when I left, and that worked as a decoy chair and kept them from adding a chair. Maybe this comic was about them.
