But for someone like me, who thinks helping people become self sufficient and get off of programs like welfare, the numbers don’t look like that’s what’s happening at all.

This has been proven not to actually help. You know what has? Giving cash to people. Just straight up giving them money. It's too bad conservatives refuse to believe that and insist on means testing everything and reducing benefits wherever possible.

There's another fun thing. One half of the people in this conversation actually listen to experts. The other half considers all experts suspect and presumes they're all politically motivated (to make them look bad, no doubt.)

And I like how you shared an article talking about how people in poverty have the highest marginal tax rate. Considering conservatives are constantly cutting tax rates, that's a delightful irony in your argument. Maybe if we quit giving ten times as much money to rich people and started using that money to support poor people, we could help them better.

The MX Ergo has two bluetooth profiles stored on it, so you can switch seamlessly between any two devices. I use one of mine with both a Windows desktop and an MBP.

Wait, what book is this an adaptation of? This isn't from either Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or The Great Glass Elevator as far as I'm aware.

For varying definitions of "works". It's incredibly frustrating if you're using it across multiple devices. Any time I let the repo get more than a couple days behind, I wind up with nasty merge conflicts and it doesn't handle those. At all. It just sort of breaks.

So caveat emptor.

For what it's worth, LibsOfTikTok's already getting slapped by Threads's moderation.

I think a lot of people are thinking that social media dies when nobody uses it. I think those people also don't realize that Digg still exists.

Reddit will slowly slump into the endless morass of meaningless social media that's largely irrelevant, having lost anything that ever made it actually special.

I've been getting the same texts. And emails. And a banner across the top of their website.

Although, it's only $10 for me, not $40.

Generally I just use VSCode's source control UI when I want a GUI for git. I can't imagine using a standalone GUI for git when all the big editors have their own interfaces.

Uh, no. It was reddit that made reddit shitty.

I've been on reddit for more than 15 years at this point. I definitely feel like there's a big gap now. I think Kbin/Lemmy will be able to fill it eventually, though.

It feels like cheating when it includes one wired provider and a half dozen satellite and wireless providers.

I won't touch Google products anymore. I had GPAA. It was amazing. They butchered it to make YouTube Music.
