  • Every now and then, GitHub Copilot saves me a few seconds suggesting some very basic solution that I am usually in the midst of creating. Is it worth the investment? No, at least not yet. It hasn’t once “beaten” me or offered an improved solution. It (more frequently than not) requires the developer to understand and modify what it proposes for its suggestions to be useful. Is is a useful tool? Sure, just not worth the price yet, and obviously not perfect. But, where I’m working is testing it out, so I’ll keep utilizing it.



  • The state of everything is so fucked for my brain to even go this direction… But your comment made me think the following:

    Well, in their (the conservative’s) heads, yes. A dead kid isn’t one that will grow up and eventually vote against them and their hateful ideologies after being around the same things that conservatives demonize.

    Edit: Not implying that conservatives want children dead. (That is clearly not the case given their stance on contraception and women’s reproductive rights.) But, that they don’t care about kids dying to gun’s, because “MUh 2nD amendmEnT RigHTS shAn’t be INFRIngeD uPoN”, and that they view children that have attended these drag events as having been indoctrinated and mentally harmed/abused. That scares them more.




  • The town I am located in had this same issue and saw it happening to an extreme elsewhere in the country. So they implemented restrictions on how many Vrbo and Airbnb’s a person can have active at once.

    It unfortunately didn’t take affect retroactively, but it was immediate. Which was really funny to see as some recent purchases and renovations were suddenly put on the market again after the city pulled the rug from under them.

    As I understand it, you can purchase whatever you want, but to Vrbo, Airbnb, etc, you must register the property with the city as a non-permanent residence, of which, there is a limit of one per organization or individual within city limits.

    Totally cheesable, as one could be in a spouse’s, or dog’s name or some other rich people crap. And again, not retroactive, which sucks as housing is still a nightmare here.

    So my advice. Get a petition going with a similar solution put together. Get into some city council meetings. Get vocal. Make some cool posters.

    This solution won’t target tourists, and may take longer. But in my mind, it will target the real problem.
