    We keep voting in slim margins. If we want an effective government we actually need to fill it with enough people who will work together.

    Biden barely had the senate, including independents and 2 relatively conservative dems. The house was then lost and the house then did nothing productive.

    The democrats are not a unified block because we have 2 parties for way too many views.

    We need to overhaul the system to actually break the 2 party hold and that can unfortunately only happen if you vote in enough people who actually take up issues like removing first past the post, the electoral college, and trying to make mail in ballots easier, pushing for ranked choice voting so people could actually vote for candidates in the order of who they actually like the most.

    Luckily some of this can be done state by state so keep track of local politics. Your state politicians can also make this better.










  • For me it’s much easier to lock the phone by holding any volume and power then to remember the sequence needed to force power of the phone.

    Clicking 5 times on power is probably faster, but I forgot that existed and if I’m trying to do something quickly essentially squeezing my phone is easier than trying to tap the correct side 5 times quickly under pressure. And much easier to me then trying to remember the force power off sequence and performing it without looking under stress.

    Especially on the iPhone 15 pros there is now another button so getting the up down up power means finding the correct up button.

    I’ve looked up that sequence numerous times when I’ve needed to force reboot and I still forget it half the time.






  • It’s more language dependent than ide. Go for instance makes unused variables a compiler error (I believe) which means ides mark it as red immediately.

    Ts/js can have eslint rules against unused variables but they will still usually compile or just run directly anyway.

    Java doesnt error but can be set to warn you on them.

    Abap doesn’t care and won’t tell you.

    Your mileage will vary.
