a tweak: open source is ABOUT people … with quality as a means to that end we have the rare freedom to practise the craft + the joy of building with friends, for its own sake. I hope open source communities flourish – we must look after our mental health more than ever. but a cautionary note 👇

Could it be true, that Open Source is the last bastion to care about quality, while businesses need to be fast and care less, cause they need to compete… What do you think about that? Thanks in advance. Text on a grainy yellow-to-fuchsia-to-blue gradient.

The current US medical system is both not good for women that are primary caregivers, and obscenely expensive. You don't have to say "MAHA was right!🤡" They're not right. But you do have to offer a progressive alternative to the status quo. No one wants medical centrism. Schumer in scrubs.

Chart showing that 57% of Dem women that support MAHA, do so because of healthcare costs, vs only 3% because they are anti-vaxx.

When data scientists start a project, they always ask: "How does the output change when the input changes?" The equation y = ax+b answers it in the simplest way, but neural networks try to answer it in a more flexible way. Here, Samyutka connects it all for you. www.freecodecamp.org/news/neural-...

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

This weekend DoorDash tweeted about the World Cup but repeatedly tagged T-Pain, as if they were mixing him up with NZ soccer player Tim Payne. T-Pain got in on it too, acting confused. Turns out it was all a "partnership." No ad disclosure on any of the posts. www.theverge.com/news/954145/...

T-Pain on X: "Are you all okay??? @DoorDash stop tagging me in these soccer posts."
T-Pain: "I liiterally don't play soccer" quoting DoorDash saying "@TPain you gave everything out there tonight. we saw it."
T-Pain: The intern is gonna shit a brick when they realize. Quoting DoorDash saying "This is when the true goats show up @tpain the game is in your hands!"
