Nope, it’s a default Windows ability. You can find it under the Accessibility settings, called Mouse indicator.

The only reason to contact the police if something gets stolen is so that you can show the report to your insurance company.

My current phone is a Galaxy S9 from 2018. I bought it used three years ago for less than $100, and it does more than I’d ever need it to.

The big jumps in spending on that graph started in 2012. Occupy Wallstreet protests were in the autumn of 2011.

But you guys not buying new phones is reducing productivity by a third of a percent! Think of the potential losses!

It’s blatant price-gouging. Any stock in the store has already been sold to them at an agreed price. They can set a number and make their set margin.

Updating prices after each delivery might make sense (if their procurement department is absolute dogshit at negotiating contracts), but updating prices throughout the day is just someone trying to see how hard they can push their margins to drain every cent out of their customers.

…Democratic Socialists of America Fund, a political nonprofit organization that funded the survey…

I trust this survey implicitly.

Hochul is getting primaried by a more progressive candidate, and NYC has always been relatively weak for her because she’s from Buffalo. This isn’t actually about the mayoral race; she’s begging the city to keep her in the governor’s mansion.

crashing the economy

The stock market is doing great. The ownership class is lining up behind Trump because he’s making them billions and they just need to stroke his ego a little bit.

Well, yes. Businesses are run as dictatorships, not democracies. This is one of the reasons why no one who would “run a country like it’s a business” should be elected to public office.

By what definition? I don’t think a Chrysler has been manufactured in America since 2016.

I imagine jobs reports are going to be fucked for the foreseeable future.

No, the reports will be fine. They’ll be excellent. Beautiful, even. They just won’t be accurate. The administration has made it clear that they’d rather have good numbers than real numbers.

I just interviewed for an internal posting at my company. It’s for a division that we all know is going to be laid off within five years, but I need to get out of my current role. The interviewer told me he got 53 applicants. When the same job was posted for a healthier division eight months ago, they got four.

So, yeah, definitely a few more jobseekers running around these days.

I think this one is getting coverage because the shooter was trans. I have a feeling a marginalized group is about to be further vilified and lose more rights.

Every day, the future looks a little bit darker. But the past… even the grimy parts of it… keep on getting brighter.

I’m wondering why I even need a smartphone at this point. I’m tempted to go back to a flip phone.

Kodak has been circling the drain for decades. I’m shocked they’ve lasted this long.

Many states have closed primary elections prior to the general election. So three or four candidates from the same party are campaigning against each other for the right to be the candidate in the general election, and the only people that can vote in this preliminary election are registered party members.

That 55% figure has been true of New York for decades. The ubiquity of public transit has historically offset the costs: since people aren’t making car payments, the portion of their income that would go to that gets spread across other spending.

I would be more interested to see figures in more car-oriented areas for a better apples-to-apples.

I’ve literally had my home broken into and stuff stolen from it. It was the one time in my life that I ever called the police. They trampled through my place, made a mess and broke more things, and then decided I was reporting a suspicious amount of electronics and accused me of trying to do some kind of insurance fraud.

Fuck cops.
