Fines will teach those people who have no money to get more money.

They are going to lose it even more when they watch the new Willie Nelson/Orville Peck video.

The main Russian news organization is call “Pravda”, which is Russian for “Truth”. Their social media arm therefore, translated to English, would probably be called “Truth Social”.

Biden is a neoliberal centrist. If leftists vote for him it is because they have no other choice. It is why his support is so weak at the grass roots. And so strong amongst the capitalist elites. His far right opponent is a racist and crook, but runs a strong populist game. Those are our only two choices.

Olive seems pretty good but it is really hard to get working.

Having looked closer, kitty just looks too complicated. I just want a nice terminal. Kitty doesn’t have scrollbars either. I’ll stick with Alacritty for now.

I’ve been using Alacritty (on Wayland) for the past few years. I like it’s customizability. My only real complaint is that there are times when I really miss having scrollbars. After reading this thread I’ll have to give kitty a try. I think I tried it a couple if years ago and was not impressed, but maybe it has gotten a lot better since then.

Often the VC’s, if they have control of the company, will bring in “gray hair” managers to try to turn things around. The kids formerly running the show may or may not stick around. The first thing the gray hairs do is cut back to a skeleton staff, cut the snacks, and even coffee. They’ll try to sublet the surplus office space. One startup I worked at had a fire sale on desks and laptops and such. I got some good deals. Infosec goes out the window, as do most new features. You trim back to the barest minimum infrastructure and staff. If your books seem reasonable, then they try to sell what is left. It can be very strange being one of 5 or so essential staff left after 50 or 100 of your coworkers are gone.

As a billionaire, you can’t fire all your workers without AI. And you can’t have AI without lots of electricity. The planet and its people don’t matter. Profits matter.

I’m guessing it doesn’t run on chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese.

There is a movie coming out in a few months about a US Civil War: https://youtu.be/aDyQxtg0V2w?si=oRudiMaKVQmBy2R_

There is a strong movement to hold a constitutional convention before the next election. It is backed by a right wing group called ALEC. They think they have a loophole to make it happen and the new speaker of the house backs the idea. I think if they had a wider majority it would already be happening. They will rewrite the rules to ensure a hard right anti-civil rights candidate wins.

Find a conference that specializes in your tech. Network like crazy, hand out cards, and give a talk if you can. You want to build a personal brand with your most interested potential customers. Be prepared to state how much you would charge and to do some back of envelope scope assessments. Follow up with the people you met after the conference is over. Organize a tech meetup in your town too.
