A Trump-appointed judge just struck down a Biden rule expanding overtime pay to 4 million working people.

It's really surprising how little media coverage this has received. Trump faced no real questions about this issue during the campaign. 1/

A Trump Judge Just Nixed Overtime Pay for Millions—and Media Yawned

Remember the right-wing frenzy over “Rich Men North of Richmond”? Well, this ruling exposes Trump-MAGA hypocrisy on the working class—and reveals a big media failure.

Without BASIC, you don't have thousands of invested hobbyists in the 70s, who go on to teach millions of young programmers in the 80s.

Without DTSS's ability to manage hundreds of simultaneous users, you don't have UNIX.

And without Thomas Kurtz, we wouldn't have either.

RIP, Professor Kurtz.

Trump's demand that the Senate permit him to use recess appointments to put his nominees in place is about more than just getting those nominees on board. joycevance.substack.com/p/what-letti...

What Letting Trump Use Recess Appointments Could Mean

Donald Trump’s stated desire to use recess appointments is about more than putting his cabinet secretaries and other appointees in place without a fight.

Having used #VMware #Fusion for many years, this is welcomed news.

As the @theregister.com mentions, it's not #OpenSource and my stance on #VMware for the past 10 years is #ESXi should be #OpenSource.

If folks are already using #VirtualBox (which is fantastic), doubt they will care about this.
