I give it two weeks for someone in the Trump administration to read about this and find some way to cancel a space camp that honors a black woman.

Edit: the center is run by the state government... how can they find a way to squeeze them? Stay tuned.

A company that stops using dial home DRM because it's costing them too much money should hardly be lauded.

Yes, convict leasing was designed to be a direct replacement for slavery. It was used that way right after slavery ended when you could arrest a black person for anything you could think of. No job? Arrested, leased. No home? Arrested, leased. Etc....

Looking for positives, but especially negatives. What are the pitfalls of not granting corporations the same rights as people/citizens?

The reason you don't hear about Greta anymore is because she didn't let her conscience stop at climate change. She's a left wing activist fighting for social justice in all things.

The rich will mold her image in history the same way they did for MLK, leaving out all the aspects of her politics that make them squirm.

Why are you donating things you expect to be thrown out? You're just costing a charitable organization money. But fuck the salvation army.

Before the pandemic there were a few homeassistant/smart home YouTubers on the floor of CES every day putting videos out about the new devices they saw throughout the day. I haven't seen any of them doing that since the pandemic.

Anyone know of one that is still doing that or the best place to get summaries of new devices from CES with a smart home focus?

Yo ho yo ho.

I don't understand how people paying for prime can stand that crappy prime video UI anyway.

Better wages and work life balance would also solve the pilot shortage. It's one of those jobs where companies over rely on people's passion for the profession in lieu of treating and paying them what they deserve.
