    This. I know a lot of folks in the fediverse like Matrix, but the user experience feels like yet another platform that started with the platform architecture, and not the end user’s experience.

    Then it gets adopted by a bunch of people who enjoy installing Hannah Montana Linux distros for fun, and no one else.








  • I guess the big argument is that giving a bunch of money to the wealthy will stimulate the economy. Although, that’s an argument that many nations, including the US, have 50 years of data on, and there isn’t much to support that argument. Trickle down economics hasn’t been shown to work.

    I also, if you’re in the camp that doesn’t believe in climate change and or thinks poor people are poor because of character flaws, then you probably like this thing. Or if you’re a wealthy person who donated a lot of money to republican politicians, you probably like this thing, because it’s a return on investment.

    It’s not particularly great. Many people on the right only voted for it because they’re afraid Trump will primary them, and end their political careers, if they oppose.


  • The bill give massive tax cuts to the extremely rich, and it attempts to pay for part of that by:

    • kicking many low income and disabled people off of federally funded health insurance
    • closes poor rural hospitals that depend on Medicaid money
    • cutting subsidies for manufacturing jobs that make emerging green tech, like EVs
    • food and child care assistance will disappear for many poor families.
    • and there is a bunch of weird little sneaky things hidden in it that people hope don’t get noticed because the bill is 200+ pages

    When you do the math, the rich will get a lot of money, the very poor will have lose money, the and middle class will break even but many will be put on unemployment.

    And it costs an extra $4,000,000,000,000, which is fucking bonkers.


  • Let’s be honest, swapping between two pairs of glasses, or rocking multi focal glasses, sucks.

    Carrying around glasses cases everywhere is a total PITA, and multi focals are not nearly as nice as one big dedicated lens for an entire focal point.

    I don’t know anyone carrying multiple pairs of glasses that thinks “this is great, the youths are missing out on all the fun.”
