That's just not true. Your 13yr old is your legal responsibility, whilst you have a home, they do to.

Someone who you generously take in now has a roof over their head but they have literally zero protections - you can argue with them tomorrow and be within your rights to throw them out.

Someone with nowhere at all to stay might die of the cold tonight.

Homelessness charities absolutely want to know which case you are in. They require different interventions with different priorities.

Sure. And yet...

Nah, you gotta commit. That's part of the fun. And you'll never know what the birds you scare away would have said.

> It’s usually the white-collar workers who bear the most economic disruption from major technological innovations

That seems like a very poor take. If it feels like white-collar workers are most disrupted in recent times, its because the labouring workforce in the western worlds has been absolutely gutted by technological innovations (and the economics of globalisation).

Factory workers seem less affected because there's hardly any factory workers left!

This all sounds great but until they stop it eating all my iOS battery I can't leave my phone connected continuously, which is such a pain.

I'm not about to switch back to the configuration management hell that was pure wireguard but it would be really lovely to not have to connect/disconnect when I want to use tailscale

Wait, you think to not be a grifter you have to "care so hard when their efforts are unappreciated"?

Wut?

I'm not encouraging the to grift, ffs, I'm encouraging them to go and work somewhere that will appreciate their efforts!

I think you've completely misunderstood my point. It's not that they shouldn't keep doing what they do, its that there are places that will appreciate what they do.

I accept that public sector, charitable sector etc, make this calculation a bit different. But in the private sector it just seems silly to give yourself to a job that doesn't appreciate what you give it.

> there are an infinite amount of books that you'd like to read

if i want to read them all, I don't need help choosing. any book is one I want to read!

if I don't want to read them, I already have opinions. I should just pick one that I do want to read.

and I don't have opinions I can just ask someone for a recommendation.

big libraries existed before algorithmic recommendations, and people managed.

that's just simply not true.

talking about doomscrolling and how it would be better not to do it is one of the favourite pastimes of the doomscroller. loads of fb users hate it but struggle to believe they could do without it.

I've never understood why people would continue to care so hard when their efforts are unappreciated.

But I've also never worked at a large company.

my guess is that they'd actually just assume you haven't bought the new one!

CVE AND release note not enough tipping off for you?

it is absolutely not on maintainers of projects to proactively notify those who've forked the project. clear and transparent notices are exactly the right approach
