Huh, MacOS action runners? So like, needing to run CI on a Apple Silicon? Interesting, I guess.

I was sort of expecting something different when I clicked. It's just lists of other providers you can pay instead of GitHub.

You don’t have to do anything else except to create an account, setup billing,

    Btw for anyone who isn't aware Dan, the self-professed crank, is a senior writer at the national review most famous for his constitutional originalism and being anti-anti-MAGA. Like, he never advocates for Trump, just criticizes his critics. Read his works and come to your own conclusion on if he is a crank.

    Star Wars is not exactly subtle or full of nuance. It's pulp, and it wears that badge with unironic, cinematic pride.

    ​It is the spiritual successor to the 1930s Saturday morning serials of bold archetypes, primary-colored morality, and breakneck pacing where the stakes are always "the fate of the galaxy" and the villains wear literal black masks. It doesn't ask you to deconstruct the socioeconomic subtext of a spice mine.

    If this happens to a celebrity posting about a 20 year old Nintendo game system, I can only imagine what it's like for your average female logging into modern competitive shooter.

    Gamergate never went away. It was the precursor to the youthful fadcisti, in many ways. We need women in these spaces to help diffuse the malignant culture. They'll remain targets of harassment tho, so it's up to everyone to police misogyny, and racism for that matter, too.

    Spending spree, and all we got was:

    Economic Recovery (Stimulus): The primary focus was the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (2009), which aimed to boost the economy through infrastructure investment, job creation, and tax cuts.

    Healthcare Reform: The passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (2010) was a signature priority, designed to increase health insurance coverage.

    Energy and Environment: Significant investments were made in clean energy, renewable energy, and energy efficiency programs, including the "smart grid".

    Education: Funding was prioritized for education reforms, including student aid reform and bolstering K-12 education.

    Infrastructure and Manufacturing: Initiatives like the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program focused on infrastructure, alongside tax incentives for domestic manufacturing.

    Middle-Class Tax Relief: The administration enacted various tax breaks for small businesses, veterans, and workers to strengthen the middle class.
