A trivial example: is criticism of Israel fair or antisemitism?

I would imagine the current US "crackdown on antisemitism" being the cause of being added to the watchlist, which is fair in my opinion

I don't see how terminating employees or ending foreign aid being a decline in Civic freedoms

The prescription is about the same as my old glasses, 12 years apart, perhaps they are dialed in just a little bit too much.

The other thing is that these glasses have blueguard filter, which I have been attributing the eye strain to. I've been looking for a way to remove the blue guard, but I can't and I don't want to spend A$400 on a new pair. :(

I actually do this (and I'm not proud of it)

I have seen an alarming number of programmers hunt-n-peck typing, and it's getting larger..

To them, vim is probably on-par or slower

we can be scrolling a list of bluey episodes, and she knows what they are by the words.. "what episode do you want to watch?" "curry quest!" - sure enough, that's what it's called and that's what the title is

all of the pictures are some form of the characters doing something, so i find them fairly indistinguishable... I haven't tried letting her pick one without the picture, which will be the real test i guess.

Same with ICE raids. People are upset because they built their house on sand and have to start again. Businesses are upset because they can't get around labour laws

I find it funny that you're getting downvoted though. Maybe in a few years it'll all blow over

I've been using Robertson but I don't often build stuff.. yet..

I tried lazygit but couldn't get into it. It was nice but slow for my work's monorepo.

I switched to gitui, which is kinda... Obtuse. But fast. I

I just added a PR to help with fixup workflows. Which is the first time I've contributed to a rust codebase

I'd love if there's more "hacker News like" sites. You could probably use the format for many things, a hacker news for writing?

Alcohol feels like the only "adult drink" you can have which isn't sugar based (ironic because a lot of alcohol is sugar)

other that it's just tea, coffee, and water.

a buggy shitty mess? count me in!

Things aren't even consistent across mac os updates. I think it's much preferable to keep a phone a phone, and the computer a computer.

I only want a macbook because of the hardware. I'd give anything for them to fix the software. but it is what it is.

I got into self-help and polymathy at a younger age and it quite literally pulled me out of poverty because I believed that I could.

Now that I'm older, I realise and understand that I'm actually not the best at everything, but I can do a little bit of everything to a sound standard, and that most other people can once they give it a little try and work through the beginner mistakes.

Some people have a real geniune fear of either: 1. Mistakes and being wrong, or 2. Learning, and having to understand something that is different to what they know currently.

I deal with people in camps 1 & 2 every day, so I'd love to find a way to help them overcome both.

but it also ties in with censorship/propaganda, ie: "no such thing as homeless people in china"

If you're a westerner, it will show how bad US is, lusty images, drug use, gambling. etc.

It's a super double-edged sword. We could have it in the west but we'd need a government that is looking out for the interests of people, not israeli/multinationals/lobbies/industry etc.

Your link mentions the inequality between blacks and whites in s.africa but the H1B revelations as of late have been showing that the immigration is for cheaper labour and well below market rates.

To be Anti-immigration is to really be pro standard of living. Immigrants should come to get the host country standard of living, not to bring acceptance of a lower standard of living.

you can get profound insight from random youtube comments. A book can be a waste of time.

To separate them is to put a value on it that isn't there by any objective measure.

I'd argue "take a break from tech" does definitely involve putting down the books. go be with yourself for a bit. let your own thoughts develop, go "touch grass"

The problem is the companies that run them. If you go out and get a new android phone, you cannot uninstall or remove youtube, instagram, or in some situations facebook.

You can "remove all data" and "force stop" and "disable" them, in that order, but that's not as easy for layperson who has no idea about technology.

The powers that be, don't give you access to technology in order to improve your life, they give it to you so they can profit from your lifelong dedication to it.

The issue is that this is in a very regulated space (insurance tech) so even a small kick start requires a bit of investment and commitment on my side that I need to weigh up

I'm still stuck on neovim for now, but progressively I'll make my way to helix I think.
