  • Seems suspiciously AI-sloppy and not very trustworthy. Github shows very little activity outside of the main author, and the name feels somehow misleading because it should be clearer that this isn’t an official port but rather an independent project.

    This Mac version is an independent community port

    It’s, like, one guy though. The author page seems to also walk the line stopping just short of misrepresenting the actual author’s endorsement of the project. This seems dishonest and like the website has been barely reviewed by humans. Frankly, I hate it because it doesn’t respect my time. If you can’t be bothered to write actual human-generated words about your own project, what else has been neglected?

    Use at your own risk as it’s not likely the code has been reviewed or tested by anyone else. For something so commonly a target of malware authors as Notepad++, it’s a hard pass. Too risky for me.




  • Oh yes! This actually happened to me multiple times. Typically it was something about how unions result in lower pay or would not represent my interests.

    Of course that’s all BS! You only have to use your brain a little. For example, even if they’re not perfect representatives, who else then is going to represent you? Yourself? You don’t stand a chance against a large business.

    The costs of union fees was a sticking point, and it’s easy to waive that in front of somebody’s face when it’s harder to measure the impact of your union fighting for fair pay and blocking exploitation. The counter argument is that not all benefits are easily quantifiable. Negotiated raises are just part of the total compensation, and the stated pay numbers you’d get without unions in the world are made up because you can claim whatever you want about something that is not the case.










  • It is not literally true. The author is making the claim that the US is insolvent based on book assets and liabilities, but the finances of a government are very different from other financial entities where this simple view is no longer accurate. The US has unique assets, such as the ability to tax its citizens or manipulate its own currency to satisfy debt. What is the value of infinite money or the power to obtain it on demand? Thus, the government has theoretically unlimited assets that are not directly comparable to any business or individual. It can make assets out of thin air.

    Insolvency only becomes relevant for governments when they’re unable to satisfy debts and investors no longer believe that they will be repaid. The short-term bond markets are still strongly of the opinion that US debt is virtually risk free. Until we see a large spike in short-term interest rates, insolvency? Absolutely that’s hyperbole. By that assets-based definition, most governments are insolvent right now.
