"Technology can't solve social problems", first of all: bullshit. Iodized salt and fluoridated water, they count and they are miracles. Vaccines count and they are miracles. Modern logistics are a miracle, tap water is a miracle and all of these things are technologies.
Technology can't solve problems _when powerful people don't want them solved_. But technology in the hands of the people can absolutely solve social problems, the questions are only about who's in the way.

Of course, #Wacom don't support their own (old) hardware anymore on modern OS's, and the software I had installed previously doesn't work either way, but this open driver is really good.

This is why I've been unemployable. You finally set boundaries for the first time in your life and society says, NOPE.
My autism diagnosis simply means they have a tangible reason why I'm treated like I am, not that it changes how I'm treated.

There is a branch of Scientology dedicated to selling Scientology to business executives as a management tool: "Hubbard Adminstrative Tech."
And when you start looking into it, you can understand the appeal. It's so simple. So elegant
Looking over "Hubbard Administrative Tech" is giving me flashbacks to the very start of my career, during my extremely short tenure at one of the big management consulting companies.
At the introductory meeting, all us newbies were told we were about to be introduced to the company's proprietary Process™. And in comes a guy pushing a hand truck loaded with binders.
OK, I thought, there's a binder for each of us. But no! My skin crawled in horror as I realized that it took a hand truck full of binders just to contain one copy of the Process™
there's gotta be a "Picks and Shovels" books.mxhdr.net/book/101479/s/… tie-in here somewhere 🤔

Trump fast-tracks supersonic travel, amid spate of flight-related executive orders | TechCrunch
President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Federal Aviation Administration to lift the 52-year ban on supersonic flight over U.S. soil.Connie Loizos (TechCrunch)
TechBro's wet dream. Pay three times as much to "go supersonic" and save what seems to be about an hour and half. Considering how much travel time is non flight time, this makes no sense.
This is why the Concord failed -- not regulations on sonic booms.

"...at least one committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled..."
Pam Bondi is thug scum. The Attorney General making these comments about a defendant in a federal criminal case is lawless. This administration’s unethical hacks continue to demonstrate that they want to be deposits.

Als Antwort auf mhoye • • •In fact, like it or not, #technology is the single most powerful political force at work in human history.
Without sail, for example, we would still live in small conflicting villages. Without alphabets, we would still be ignorant peasants under a king pretending to be a God.
Every technology that can raise the organizational complexity of a society is deeply political, so it's only matter of who deploy and control the technology.
