@[email protected] the recent college athlete image likeness settlement couldn't happen at a worse time for public schools who have to disclose these payments. Can you imagine having a PhD and teaching physics for 1/4 of what a school is paying a teenage who catches balls well?
@[email protected] Is the tradition the Animal House experience while in school and then graduating to multiple job offers that pay well enough that your income alone was enough to buy a house and raise a family. Because if that's the tradition they are looking to continue, I've got some bad news.
Online education should make education more affordable. Instead, most organizations charged only slightly less than in-person credits.
@[email protected] Are you a Tesla owner who only charges at Telsa charging stations? Tesla doesn't even own the majority of charging stations in the US. They only recently started allowing non-Teslas to use their chargers. Where did you think all the other EVs were charging?
Tesla will be taken over by PE who will sell off the charging network. Once rebranded as ChargePoint or Electrify America, they will will no lobger be targeted by vandalism and arson. The cost of removing the toxic Tesla brand isn't trivial, but the locations and infrastructure have value. They won't just be turned off when there is profit to made.

@[email protected] "Fuck Elon" is becoming the punch buggy of this generation.
Combine a toxic brand with a level of ridiculously poor Quality Control we haven't seen from a US automaker since the Saturn brand, and you get a price point/distressd asset that PE will be looking at. They've already calculated the value of selling Tesla for parts and just waiting for the stock to hit a number to act. Elon is so over leveraged, there will be nothing he can do to stop it.
@[email protected] being threaten with jail time and fines won't be enough, but the potential punishment needs to be so severe and harasment so relentless they'd consider hanging themselves instead. Aaron Swartz will not be forgotten.
@[email protected] my kids (8 and 11) play "fuck elon". It's slugbug for cybertucks. We don't encourage profanity, but don't punish them when they use it appropriately. This seems VERY appropriate.
@[email protected] our dog is trained IF we give him a command like "leave it" BEFORE instict kicks in. If we see another dog while walking, "leave it" works. If we knew the ad was coming, we'd be fine. We're usually half watching dumb tv to wind down when our dog tries to save us from dog on the other side of the glass. Once he's in "holy shit, they're coming to kill my pack mode", we can only turn the tv off. Can't pause the ad. Can't even swith services since our "smart" tv continues playing the previous video in 1/4 of the screen while selecting another app.
Our dog is only 2. If he's like every other dog we've owned l, he will either accept that nothing ever comes through the tv or no longer have the energy to defend his pack.
When I learned to write headlines 30 years ago, the goal was to capture the gist of the article. We'd write something like...
Proposd Take It Down Law Would Be Used as a Weapon
I'm not sure it's possible to train AI to write effectively headlines after 20 years of clickbaiting and controversy "journalism".
@[email protected] I don't know much about this plugin, but I do know it was "aquired" by Automattic... basically meaning that the developer was hired to work for Automattic. I don't watch every episode of As WP Turns, but in the last episode of that drama I watched I think Matt announced that Automattic was scaling back their contributions to the open source aspects of WP... which would include this plugin.
If you want to see this change, you will likely need to make the request in the form of a PR. If you don't have the knowledge and skills required to do that (and aren't willing to invest the time it take to gain that knowledge and skill), I suggest you start being more professional and polite when making requests for the changes you want.
You've paid nothing for this code. Have some empathy for the maintainer.

@[email protected] there is also the 50501 group organizing protests in all 50 states April 5.
As others have commented, there haven't been protests this large and often in the US since the Vietnam War. Organizing this takes time. Organizing without using billionaire owned services with questionable privacy policies takes even longer... but it is happening.
