If you use an LLM / coding agent, you should join a union. (If you don't you should also join a union)....

When LLM / agents go bad, do you think they'll fire or blame the LLM/agent? No, they'll be going after the human reviewer, even if the company has forced you into a position of failure.

Do people even care about Black folks anymore?

We been dropping like flies at the hands of the cops its like a George Floyd every other week lately and its just quiet as a mouse on the topic lately.

Been so many obviously sketchy police shootings of Black folks lately I can't keep up.

"The world’s first fossil fuel phaseout conference has begun.

Fossil fuel phaseout has moved from climate advocacy to the center of the global economy, where it can no longer be ignored."

All through my formative years when I was entering the workforce there was this narrative about how "work has changed" people would no longer work at the same job for decades because "the economy is moving too quickly" (Please explain what this means if you know. No one has ever explained this to me in a way that makes any sense.)

Young people would work more jobs! Maybe more jobs at once. And this is wonderful because you'd make more money and have... freedom or something.

It's nonsense.

Thank the stars for Linux.

Seriously, I mean, it is such a gift to have it. The fact that I can download all software I need from the internet, for free, legally, to make my computer work - and it’s arguably as good or better for the most part on the desktop than any commercial option - is nothing short of a miracle in this age of surveillance and enshittification.

To all of you who see this that contribute to this modern marvel, I thank you. 🙏

"Alex Karp, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and others are on edge and on the warpath right now. They have invested billions of dollars and huge amounts of time and social capital in the project of capturing a superpower and using the information ecosystem to spread racism, biopolitics, and versions of Fascist and other authoritarian systems of rule."

75% of 1980s video games tracked by the LGBTQ Video Game Archive are preserved and accessible in some form.

But that’s not the whole story.
25% are still at risk or unavailable.
Preservation isn’t automatic.

It takes deliberate effort to keep cultural history accessible.
