Greece is the Aryan form of Levantian society, when it comes to how it's perceived to be the genesis of modern civilization.

I'm curious about the choice of batteries in the MNT Reform. Is it something to do with better life? Repairability (looks like it for sure)?

I got let go from my current role. To say I saw it coming would be half true, but I was not expecting to be out in the blinds this soon. Open to a lot right now, more info at https://jacky.wtf/work. (https://jacky.wtf/2024/5/20Fw)

A @pmpress book on the Floyd uprising.

He (George Floyd) was murdered today four years ago.

The blurb of the book, "IN THE summer of 2020, America experienced one of the biggest uprisings in half a century. After George Floyd's murder. at the hands of Minneapolis police, angry crowds took to the streets night after night, fighting the police, looting, and eventually burning down the Third Precinct. The revolt soon spread to cities large and small across the country, where rioters set police cars on fire, sacked luxury shopping districts, and forced the president into hiding in a bunker beneath the White House. Throughout the summer and into the fall, localized rebellions continued to erupt in Atlanta, Chicago, Kenosha, Louisville, Philadelphia, and elsewhere. Written during the riots, The George Floyd Uprising is a compendium of the most radical writing to come out of that long, hot summer. These incendiary dispatches from those on the front lines of the struggle-examine the new horizons opened by the revolt, as well as the social, tactical, and strategic obstacles it confronted. This practical, inspiring collection offers a toolbox for all those actively seeking to expand and intensify revolts in the future, and it is essential reading for everyone interested in toppling the state, racism, and capitalism."

Sounds like Google spends more money on entrenching power instead of providing value to the public: https://mastodon.social/@adamconover/112548610773514271

Typescript is still the most annoying language I've worked with in the nine years I've written software. Not a long time perhaps but still consistently hair pulling.

This is the first page, written in 2019.

The word "pseduoscientific" isn't as bad as it sounds if you decenter science as a place of truth (or if you also understand science to be a mutable and adapting means of discovery).

Something incapable with the scientific method isn't "false" or "not true".

This point made by @ireneista is routinely weird (because of its accuracy). I always thought management (of any caliber) to be focused on helping people grow. And I guess it can be. But it's consistently about playing a buffer to the more explicit role they play: HR or the legal department of your org.

https://adhd.irenes.space/@ireneista/statuses/01HYVD9W5RX5DDGQADBQ4F21PZ

Additionally, I'm confident that management and managers are not taught or informed about the genesis of the field and I'd imagine (hopefully) some folks would be repulsed by it.

Decentralization should require the idea of no Internet/global access. Without that, it's more similar to digital feudalism.
