A lot of people have suffered, but at least it was for nothing.

I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase? 2256.42%???? TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

How did Dutch end up in the English wordbank for a Portuguese lesson in Duolingo?

I'm playing Golf With Your Friends with @adamconway.ie, @zwander.dev, and @347online.me right now on #Techathon, come watch! I want to get a non-embarrassing score and raise a lot of money for Doctors Without Borders.

Am I crazy or is Bing currently just not indexing a ton of sites and people? Even using "site:" just gives me random results in other languages. Netflix and Google show up fine, UniFi and Lutron homepages aren't even on the first page (unless I use "site":), and spacebar.news is gone altogether.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I got 2 of the 32" Samsung Odyssey G70D a few months back because Samsung was doing one of their crazy sales that are probably just the proper retail pricing, and they're pretty good but they also have so many weird issues.

This is Not Great™

What is it with tech sites and writing about "budget" cars that cost $40k?

AI is good at translation actually

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

at this point, if you sell to Valnet, you are betraying your workers, full stop

So not only can you run Windows 7 in Parallels' x86 emulator with Aero, it also even supports Coherence.

the first Mac OS X public beta in the year 2000 tried moving the Apple menu in the menu bar to the center. this is how that would look today if they kept that

Lets replace search with "AI" then! Totally logical if you ask me. Even more worth it when you know they're exponentially overtaking the airline industry in their carbon footprint. Study: www.cjr.org/tow_center/w...

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

a constant pattern, across every industry i've seen or been in, is that most people working in it want to make enough money to get by, and usually get pretty good at it but then some Money Person comes in to Optimizie it and absolutely destroys the product that made money in the first place
