This right here. Unions are a much more potent way to tell management "that anti-consumer idea is bullshit and we won't do it."

I've been tech conferencing all week and I've already seen two talks about unionizing tech workers. Maybe the tide is turning?

If you're having problems with a lot of people you like being blocked by your server, it's probably a good sign that you should change your server. That's kind of the point of being able to do that.

I actually have met a concerning number of people who idolize The Empire in the original Star Wars trilogy. The one who was always loudest about it willingly moved to Florida recently and is turning sadly right wing. He used to be a super smart punk rocker, too.

Darknet Diaries is always fascinating: it's all about cybercrime. Sometimes the episodes are breakdowns of particular hacker groups or specific notable hacks; other times, they're interviews with people in the industry: both cybersecurity professionals and criminals.

It's not 2° C; that would be quite chilly. It's 2° C above the earlier average.

It's so frustrating when people think left means BLM and LGBTQIA+ and vaccination. Those things are all great and I support them, but that's not what makes me left: left is about Unions and social safety nets and community welfare and workers seizing the means of production.
