People like to point at the xkcd comic with the block tower held up by a tiny project maintained by one guy but I actually think this one explains far more about the state of digital infrastructure
Xkcd “Voting Software”

ASKING AIRCRAFT DESIGNERS ABOUT AIRPLANE SAFETY: “NOTHING IS EVER FOOLPROOF, BUT MODERN AIRLINERS ARE INCREDIBLY RESILIENT. FLYING IS THE SAFEST WAY TO TRAVEL.”

ASKING BUILDING ENGINEERS
ABOUT ELEVATOR SAFETY: “ELEVATORS ARE PROTECTED BY MULTIPLE TRIED-AND-TESTED FAILSAFE MECHANISMS. THEY'RE NEARLY INCAPABLE OF FALLING.”

ASKING SOFTWARE ENGINEERS ABOUT COMPUTERIZED VOTING: “THAT'S TERRIFYING.”

“WAIT, REALLY?”
“DON'T TRUST VOTING SOFTWARE AND DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU IT'S SAFE.”
“WHY?”
“I DON'T QUITE KNOW HOW TO PUT THIS, BUT OUR ENTRE FIELD IS BAD AT WHAT WE DO, AND IF YOU RELY ON US, EVERYONE WILL DIE.”

“THEY SAY THEY'VE FIXED IT WITH SOMETHING CALLED ‘BLOCKCHAIN.’”
“AAAAA!!!”
“WHATEVER THEY SOLD YOU, DON'T TOUCH IT.”
“BURY IT IN THE DESERT.”
“WEAR GLOVES.”

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

I was at O’Hare and needed to eat during a layover. I wanted a hotdog. Bear in mind: I was a literal child, probably under 12. I asked for ketchup and the server looked at me aghast and refused to put just ketchup on my dog. I had to eat it plain. (Also. CFA sauce is top tier on dogs.)

As a teacher, I can state unequivocally that kids today are just DIFFERENT post-COVID (well, peri-COVID, because it’s still here). As much as everyone wanted to return to “the way things were,” those days are OVER and trying to shoehorn life back into pre-COVID times actually causes more trauma.

Not discounting that they just made up the numbers, but a socially-normed test is always based on societal cultures. If you’re not a member of that culture, your score is effectively meaningless.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling.

Make no mistake — due to gerrymandering, good ol’ racism, and sheer laziness, this type of comprehensive defeat would likely not be possible in the U.S. Plus, a limit where even DJT can’t pretend he won? That doesn’t exist. Not for a raging narcissist.
