I think most people think about it more if the second way you described (as kind of a small retirement hobby, not to earn much money).

Tech workers spend all of their time working on abstract problems that have no end and spend all their energy to produce something intangible that must indefinitely be maintained.

They see farming as the exact opposite of this: something they can work on with their hands in the dirt, that eventually bears fruit that you can hold in the palm of your hand, and even eat yourself and personally benefit from.

This is much more an urge to return to nature and the feeling of actual accomplishment rather than an actual business plan. It doesn't really matter how it goes financially because they already have enough money to retire.

My guess is their intention is to ban the Lion and Sun flag, and banning the pride flag is a happy coincidence for them.

Ardour is an open source DAW (like Cubase/Logic Pro/Reaper) which is meant for music writing. You can use that potentially instead of Audacity for recording and using MIDI instruments.

“The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it,”

WTF? We 100% started it. Trump was telling everyone we were starting it, yesterday.

Apparently that's something that Bill Gates is an expert in...

For coding, you could use VSCode, which is not the same as VS but it has enough extensions to probably support your use-case?

Also crazy because Trump was the one who made Powell the chair of the Fed.

Let's be clear. The US military is extremely competent. This is a fact whether you agree with what they do or not, they are scary good at what they do.

Yes. This is true. We did not lose in Iraq or Afghanistan militarily. We lost because of poor statecrafting ability.

It was from a YT skit in 2019.

 

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The produce market in downtown Los Angeles has become another casualty of the ICE raids happening across Southern California, with employees not showing up and customers staying away out of fear of being detained.

Rotting fruit and vegetables scattered throughout the market were seen on Tuesday in what would otherwise be a bustling scene. Store after store closed for now, each with plenty to sell but no one to buy.

The immigrant community usually fills the L.A. produce market but since ICE agents arrived in downtown, the market has been empty, with only a trickle of workers showing up.

 

It's Virginia, Colorado, and Texas.

The main discovery here is an additional 6 mice species as hosts of hantavirus that were previously unknown.

 

Perovskite LEDs are emerging as a game-changing technology, offering vibrant colors, lower costs, and easier manufacturing compared to traditional LEDs.

But for these next-generation LEDs to take over the market, researchers at Linköping University argue that technical performance alone isn’t enough—they must also be affordable and environmentally sustainable.
