Polymarket lets people bet on wildfires. Wildfires that those samepeople could easily set in order to win money on this illegal gambling site. Big Tech is organized crime.

It is astonishing to me how bad browser IDEs still are, especially with compiled languages. it's appalling. Candidates deserve better. Apparently, doing statement completion is really hard?

@scott.hanselman.com Hi, Mr. Hanselman. I'm not sure if you would know the answer to this, but is it possible to develop for @xbox.com on a Mac using @vscode.dev or would I have to use VMWare/Parallels and install Windows/Visual Studio?

It shall soon be Thanksgiving in the United States. I wanted to say something to those who are alone or estranged from family for one reason or other as mine are. You are a wonderful soul just as you are and you deliver love just by being yourself.

@aoc.bsky.social Hello from California, Congresswoman. you mention needing to retool the left, which I agree with, but what do you see as the venues and forums in which to do so? Many of us are spread out diffused in different ecosystems I fear may make this difficult.

“Do what you love, “ they say, “and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Such lies they tell. Do what you love for work, and then it becomes work, and you do it for money instead of love, and then you realize how little capitalism values what you love, and you start to hate it instead. /1

Already seeing complaints about Horny Bluesky "emerging." 1.) It's been here all along. 2.) You can easily mute it in your settings. 3.) Some people earn their living with paid content. 4.) I'd take a milllion hornies, over one angry.
