White House opens $45 billion in federal funds to developers to convert offices to homes
  • Democrats absolutely don’t give a shit about what their politicians are doing. Both sides are mindlessly tribal and partisan and it’s infuriating. Yes I usually vote D because Rs are generally worse but holy shit you both suck so fucking bad and are ruining the country with your idiocy.

  • US immigration agencies read visa applicant's social media
  • I think the biggest issue is how nearly certain this is to be used on citizens as well (if it isn’t already). I think it’s pretty short hops from ‘something they don’t like posted’ -> search or confiscate phone every time you cross international border -> ???

    And none of this requires probable cause or a warrant.

  • I'm very interested in Obran, which is a worker cooperative that converts and holds privately held businesses into coops.
  • I don’t disagree with your premise but I do think the latter two should be mostly avoidable as issues. If the workers are involved in the decisions then they would be able to spend (or decide it is not worth the expense) on cooling technology (AC for indoors or any other outdoor/personal solutions). Seems less of an issue than saying corporate doesn’t care etc.

  • [CW: Slurs] Any attempt to connect with my dad immediately turns into "Woke liberals are ruining the world."
  • Yeah there usually not much you can do but hope for a change. Mine had drinking problems and was much like this. Went sober finally and he still is similar politically just not insufferable and can take a joke so it’s far more pleasant to be around him.

    Good luck…

  • The Secretive Company That Might End Privacy as We Know It
  • Yes it’s still in use and very bad. Here is the most important snippet:

    “It’s creepy what they’re doing, but there will be many more of these companies. There is no monopoly on math,” said Al Gidari, a privacy professor at Stanford Law School. “Absent a very strong federal privacy law, we’re all screwed.”

    Also here is an arguably better article: https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/music/my-chilling-run-in-with-a-secretive-facial-recognition-app/ar-AA1hlrxc

    The short answer is bad in US less bad in countries that banned its use but can’t put genie back in the bottle even there. The concept is not crazy.
