My home office got chilly so I fired up my 2010 Mac Pro (which I'm using now). It's crazy that this thing is still pretty usable in 2024, even though it only delivers a fraction of the performance of my M3 but uses orders of magnitude more power. #classicmacpro

Apple is the master of the bait-and-switch! “You can get an M2 MacBook Air for just $1,199! It’s such an amazing deal!!! Oh, you want a speedy SSD and be able to run actual programs and store files? That’ll be another $300, please. Give us MOAR MONEY!”

It’s kind of amazing that a $499 #iPad mini can become ridiculously overpriced by the time you add a *reasonable* amount of storage and cellular connectivity. #iPadMini #Apple #baitandswitch

I’m literally filled with rage and sadness. How could this happen? How could anyone be so heartless? As the father of twin 5-year-olds, I absolutely could not imagine if one or both were taken… because of a f’ing DEBT? 🤬
In some states, parents who don’t pay foster care bills could lose their kids forever. Those bills can be pricey, and it’s often the poorest families who must pay. "It is a permanent, irrevocable penalty because you happen to be poor,” an attorney says. n.pr/3D8Cdrf

These people have erased 50 years of progress. What do they want now? Is criminalizing a woman’s right to control her own body/health not enough???

As a human, I definitely DO NOT get enough proper sleep:

You ever have one of those days when you’re unemployed and have to spend $5k of fake money on fun things like lawyers and health insurance and car repairs? Yeah, me neither.

Contractors are usually the first to go during budget cuts. I'm a senior front-end #ReactJS #webdeveloper contractor at Comcast. I'll be out of work as of next Wednesday, December 21, 2022. Merry Christmas! I'm VERY actively seeking a new role. 👋🤓
I’m dumping JavaScript and going back to JSP and XML. Java is pretty much just TypeScript with longer words, and JSP can do dynamic server-side rendering! (IT’S SARCASM) #webdev #webdevelopment #frontend #fullstackdeveloper #TypeScript #javascript #XML #JSP
WTF, @Instacart and @SchnuckMarkets ??? $2 more (than Target) for this? Prices are high enough, we don’t need further gouging.
