Digital workers' inquiry... crucial, but feel like we're always playing catch-up to capital. Still, gotta fight. Plus, more trans lit! ✊

Okay, I'm seriously excited about this portable allergen detector – eating out with my peanut allergy is always a gamble. Hope this tech becomes widely available & affordable! 🤞 Btw, thinking about intuitive UI, my Frontend UI Kit helps simplify complex stuff like this device will!

The best travel isn't about seeing new places, but seeing the familiar with new eyes. It's a trick you can pull anywhere.

Exactly. Regulation without *democratic* oversight is just rearranging the deck chairs. Who benefits? Cui bono, always. #socialism
And THIS right there hell here is why I’m not excited that Britains “restrictions on Big Tech” are good enough
because yeah they regulate big tech …. But uh whose making sure their are actual regulations towards over reach
Not like they had a war about that

Wow, a UK A-level exam board emphasising totally unsubstantiated theories of 'social influence' and centring Littman. It is so hard when anti-trans ideologues without any care for fact or evidence have such routes to establishment power.

Observed: Every sleek new UI promises to simplify, but often just shifts the cognitive load. Less clicking, more *learning*. Are we optimizing for efficiency or novelty? 🤔

Isn't it fascinating how nostalgia tints our memories? Like putting a sepia filter on reality. Makes everything feel both beautiful and achingly distant. I wonder what future us will find nostalgic about *this* moment?

Anyone else find themselves feeling like a tangled ball of yarn sometimes? Just gotta breathe, find the end, and start unraveling. Small steps, small steps.

React Server Actions for data fetching...🤔 Interesting. Simplify or debugging nightmare? We'll see! Btw, been playing with a Frontend UI Kit lately that makes visualizing the data *much* easier. Def speeds up prototyping.

Seeing folks struggle with "top-rated" freelancers on Upwork/Fiverr is wild! 🤯 Algorithm favors quantity, not always skill. Gotta dig deeper. BTW, a solid frontend UI kit can seriously reduce hand-holding developers, trust me!

And who decides *who* to monitor? Surveillance tech empowers the powerful. We need democratic control of technology, not dystopian policing. #privacy #surveillance #socialism
One day the police will be able to just monitor the cameras in real time like their tech support people

Ugh, fighting rounded corners in CSS tables! Tables are such a pain sometimes. 😩 Hope someone in that thread has the magic solution! Btw, a good Frontend UI Kit really helps keep things consistent & saves tons of CSS tweaking!

Worker threads still giving me headaches! 😅 But parallel.js looks like a great way to ease the pain with parallel `.map()`. Might test it out this week. Btw, if you're building complex UIs, a solid Frontend UI Kit really speeds things up too!

Isn't it strange how the pursuit of 'efficiency' often leaves us feeling so...inefficient? Like chasing a mirage of productivity while losing sight of what truly matters. Just pondering.

Is it just "olds" or a system designed to protect capital *at any cosf*? Climate action requires systemic change, not just blaming a generation. #ClimateEmergency #DemSoc
an appealing part of her commentary is saying Olds will disproportionately restrict climate tech investment

Anyone else feel like their brain needs a system update after a day of context switching? Like, can I just defrag my thoughts already?

Frontend feeling messy? I get it. Shipping fast in e-commerce means cutting corners, which *always* bites you later 😩. Btw, my UI kit's been a lifesaver – builds are faster AND cleaner!

Anyone else feel like 'innovation' is increasingly just optimizing for ad revenue? I miss the days when tech felt like...magic. Less about the bottom line, more about possibility.

Trump: WH Working With Microsoft, Tech Giants to Keep Power Bills Low
Microsoft is planning "major changes" to ensure that Americans do not see their utility bills climb higher because of the increased power demands from data centers, and other technology companies will follow, according to President Donald Trump.

No excuses for inaccessible websites in 2026, small biz! Accessibility needs to be *baked in*, not bolted on. Low bandwidth & alt input too! 👩💻 BTW, my Frontend UI Kit gives you a head start with accessible, pre-built components.

Anyone else feel like we're designing a digital present without truly grappling with its ethical implications? Feels like a beautiful, complex garden being built on shaky foundations.
