I think Google does this with your phone. I can see how busy various places are by looking them up on Google maps. Really useful for my local Costco.

This is why this election is so important. I know it’s said in every election but this one may be the last free* election.
That * is there because I know that Republicans have made inroads in red states, with many secretaries of state either vowing to not verify a Biden win or not affirming that they will certify the election.
Please, for the love of democracy and our Republic, consider volunteering as an election official or as an observer.
There was a subreddit where you could find links to full movies on Pornhub. They had delightfully cheeky names.
I get what you’re saying but that still gives them unsolicited permission to post ads in the first place.
I want an operating system, not an ad system that also happens to be an operating system
The problem is that Time and every other news outlet think they are the cats pajamas and deserve your subscription. They suffer a similar problem to streaming platforms except news is not exclusive.
If these companies could organize and build a “pay once, get access to everything everywhere” model, they would see subscriptions go through the roof and get more money. But since the owners of these news outlets want only their own subscribers to go up, it’s never going to happen.
I’m not going to pay for 5-10 news subscriptions no matter how great the reporting is.
But I’d be willing to pay $20 or so a month if that meant I can access any article on any news website.
Never profits. Must be revenue.
Companies have ways of looking like they don’t make a profit, especially when it comes to filing taxes.
“Oh, we created a subsidiary in Ireland and, gosh darn, they charged us a gagillion dollars for this pen. We actually have a loss this year.”

“Stimulus please!”
Some Republicans have said that they want to make it illegal to cohabitate without being married.
These shit birds are not going to rest until women have no autonomy.
I’ve actually heard it the other way: if your employer knows you have cancer or other disability, they have to try even harder to fire you to ensure that they could survive a lawsuit.
Power. Control is a byproduct.
They want power.
As if they would ask permission.
We’ll be fucking your wife now while we install features on your computer that you didn’t ask for. If you’d like to be notified when we’re done, please go fuck yourself.
This. So much this.
It wasn’t Trump who stormed the Capitol.
It wasn’t Trump who threatened the lives election officials. It wasn’t Trump who swatted jurors.
It was the alt-right.
Is that…Suits?!
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Be really careful with this.
Depending on how you contribute to your OSS code, commits you make on company time are considered property of the company. You could, unknowingly, be forcing your code to be closed source if your company ever decides to make a claim for it.
I prefer to keep things bifurcated. I never reuse my own library and if I do, I rewrite it whole cloth.
The Atlantic article is paywalled.

It’s out of character for her to get caught.
His wife forced him to install security cameras in every room of his apartment and banned him from going anywhere after work. She knew his schedule and expected him home immediately after work ended.
This is so toxic. Not saying cheaters get what they deserve but if you can’t trust your husband, I think you have bigger problems than infidelity.
There was a Jordan Klepper interview with MAGAhats and, I kid you not, someone said a version of this. One sentence after the other.
The cognitive dissonance was just unbelievable.
Imo, there are too many good artists and not enough of a market.
The problem with the market is that they don’t want to pay what artists want. For every one person who wants a bespoke painting is about 30 people who are okay with mediocre and probably couldn’t tell the difference between someone who spent weeks versus a few hours on a painting.
I’m not saying artists don’t deserve to get paid. There are just not enough people willing to pay what they want. Is AI stealing their jobs? Probably. But they weren’t getting those jobs in the first place.
A few years ago, I was looking for an art student who would be willing to paint a very simple beach painting for me. Nothing fancy and really I probably could have done it on my own. There was an art school nearby and I went to a showcase and asked around. For an 8x10 canvas, it was going to be $1k minimum.
That’s insane. I wasn’t asking for detail. Just something with a sky, ocean, and sand. I found something similar to what I was looking for at a yard sale for $5.
I was willing to pay up to $300 with the possibility of doing more commissions down the road.
During the pandemic, I ended up taking some painting classes and learned to do the simple painting on my own for the price of a good bottle of wine.
I’ve noticed usually in the middle of the afternoon, before 4. Otherwise you’ll get the people who left early to go to Costco.
Weekends near the end of the day, oddly enough, usually are quiet as well.
