Forgive me for only TLDW and not watching, but was ack mentioned?
I’ve never looked back.

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson:
It scans all the activity on your phone, or your devices, your laptop, what have you; we do all of it,” Johnson told the panel about the app
It sends a report to your accountability partner. My accountability partner right now is Jack, my son. He’s 17. So he and I get a report about all the things that are on our phones, all of our devices, once a week. If anything objectionable comes up, your accountability partner gets an immediate notice. I’m proud to tell ya, my son has got a clean slate.”
Latest ep. of Strict Scrutiny podcast (“AITA? SCOTUS Edition”) has a good deep dive on this.
You inspired me to look up List of space programs of the United States - Crewed government-led programs and a couple of things jump out at me:
This. I’m a computer programmer, never been in a union, but after twenty years of startups I cannot believe how good it is to be at a small, stable, employee owned company.
Only looking back do I realize that the people doing the actual work were never in control, and just how damaging that is.
To pour you life and soul into building something (time, and time again), and then have it taken away from you again, and again.
Never going back.

Well, not necessarily, right? It could be funded any number of ways, but on YT you’re locked in to either watching their ads, or paying their premium.
Well yes, this is the problem isn’t it:
I’ve been really enjoying https://nebula.tv/, but yes, I wish they’d built it on top of PeerTube.
A lemmy for video streaming

There are even companies springing up who will run and host it for you, for a price, of course.
I’m ashamed to admit I had no idea, until I stumbled upon this video. https://youtu.be/Krl_CUxW14Y
Here’s the definition of default I’m using (from Google):
a preselected option adopted by a computer program or other mechanism when no alternative is specified by the user or programmer. (weird it specifies “a computer program or other mechanism”, but whatever)
My argument is that the default meal including meat is what makes including meat the most popular choice, not the other way around.
Sure, but you could e.g. start with slop and then let people request something different. That’s what I meant by ‘default’. Perhaps there’s a better world?
I sure there’s a fancy word in psychology, but it’s like if everyone is given choice x automatically, then it shouldn’t be a surprise that x seems to be what people prefer.
I’ve noticed a similar thing in the Subway sandwich store: there are approximately the same number of vegetables and meats available, but if you look at the menu there is just one ‘veggie’ option, and a multitude of different meat combinations.
Because humans don’t need meat to survive.
The meals will (I assume) be allocated on inmate numbers, so the animal will be reared, killed, transported, then thrown in the trash because someone doesn’t want to eat it.
More generally this is the weird ‘opt out’ culture of food, where vegan is considered the exceptional position, which is kinda stupid, in my opinion.
Do you ever get a sense of whether your clients ‘get’ just how disproportionate there income is compared to the median?
According to this $50 million puts them comfortably in top 1%, receiving median annual US income in just under two hours (if my math is good: (40*52)*(46,001/50000000) = 1.91
?).
I think the USA’s National Weather Service Twitter presence is a good example.
If you look deep enough you’ll see caveats like “supplemental service provided by NWS” and “Twitter feeds and tweets do not always reflect the most current information”, but the truth is that a lot of people (and news organizations) depend on Twitter as their main interface to the NWS, and rarely if ever go to their website.
That obviously creates a tension, which bubbles up in scares like this:
Before last weekend’s storm, the National Weather Service’s Baltimore-Washington office sent this tweet saying that because of a new Twitter policy, automated tweets that show advisories, watches, and warnings might not load.
Contrast that to a world where NOAA (the federal administration which runs NWS) has their own instance: they get the benefit of being able to disseminate updates in a consumer friendly ‘social media’ style and they retain full control of platform and can be sure the service won’t be held hostage, or go down in the middle of a storm.
Finally: if you’re reading this from the USA, consider contact NOAA/NWS to let them know you’d like a fediverse presence, I did!
I expected software issues, maybe avionics, but a flange? How.
