“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”

This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

"Can you explain this gap in your resume?"

Yes. Life is about more than constant and meaningless toil for 40-50 years and a desolate twilight of failed ambitions. The social contract is broken and the system is a lie. You and I are both trapped in the same Sisyphean hell, where no amount of working harder or longer will ever truly grant the rewards we were promised. The real question is, why are there no gaps in YOUR resume?

“…”

Errr, freelancing. I was freelancing.

Made a #Raycast script command to IM a specific person (like your partner), ported from #AlfredApp where I’ve used it all the time.

I’ve configured it with the alias “im”. “im Hello world” sends that message in the background. Just “im” focuses Messages.

Quirk: Sent links don’t get link previews. I think this is a Messages bug. Not sure how to work around it without UI-scripting the whole thing.

Brian Rinaldi has an insightful post on his blog about the current state of developer conferences, where ‘current state’ means post-COVID pandemic.
