These whispers of a draft wouldn’t have anything to do with the attempts from the govt. trying to get their hands on voting records, would it? Or that they’ve also been trying to get rid of mail in voting?

My fear is that they’d target people that didn’t vote for them and ship them off during elections.

Does anyone have experience themselves, or have links to blog posts about switching from the Apple (and/or Google) ecosystem to other options?

My family and I are pretty deep in the Apple ecosystem, but have been wanting to break free of that dependence. I'd love to hear about other people's experiences with what was easy, what was hard, and if there was anything that you found you couldn't break free from.

Once the redesigned Polestar 2 comes out and starts looking like the other Polestar models (3, 4 and 5), I think I’m going to start referring to the original design as Volestars…or Polevos. Because the look is close to Volvo cars (and in fact have Volvo branded parts).

Excited about Polestar taking on their own identity and design language!

Oh hi! It’s been awhile. I was over on Bluesky because:

1. My friends who ditched Twitter landed there and despite my best efforts to get them all the way over to Mastodon they didn’t make it here (for various reasons).
2. I was under the impression (tricked?) that Bluesky would eventually become a fully federated platform…but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

I’m back because for reasons I hope because clearer soon, Bluesky is starting to give me the ā€œickā€. Call it a premonition.

I wonder if people pleased with headlines like this are mistaking "probationary employees" for "probation" in criminal law sense of the word.

Like, are there people out there thinking these are all just convicted criminals being targeted? Spoiler alert: they aren't!

Thousands of probationary employees fired as Trump administration directs agencies to carry out widespread layoffs — CNN

The Trump administration broadened its effort to terminate thousands of probationary workers on Thursday, instructing agencies on a call to move forward with the layoffs.

Today's the day, the time is now. Starting the process of deleting my nearly 20 year old Facebook account and all other Meta accounts.

I’m skilled in Swift, UIKit, and SwiftUI, and I’m searching for a job that leverages those abilities.

It’s frustrating to see "iOS Developer" job postings that require React and JavaScript instead of all the native iOS stuff.

Is my frustration unjustified?
Is it reasonable to expect someone who says they are an iOS Developer might only have experience with JavaScript (React Native) and not Swift or Objective-C (UIKit, SwiftUI)?
