#robinhood clamped down on trading to protect innocent #wallstreet from those devious Redditors.
Imagine a world where those who lost homes/livelihoods in the financial crisis were protected even 1/10th as much as these poor hedge fund managers.
Yeah - I can't imagine that either.

It’s frustrating having users complain about UTF-8 CSVs garbling in Excel. Suffering for Microsoft’s UX sins.
Microsoft has had over a decade to make it easier to switch encodings - or even to auto detect them. I’ve set up CSV ingestion code that can do that, but Microsoft can’t manage?

My work is getting hardcore throttled by the new #docker rate limiting.
So many builds failing.
Anyone have any Linux software recommendations to organize a very large, messy music library?

Does anyone have a CLI framework recommendation for #rust?
The only one I've found is seahorse (https://github.com/ksk001100/seahorse) and it feels a little too minimal.
Apple's anti-repair tactics on the new iPhone 12: https://youtu.be/FY7DtKMBxBw
Genuine parts swapped between brand new iPhone 12s won't work properly until swapped back.
Most likely explanation: Apple intentionally ensuring no one can self-repair or use a third party service. Not a new MO for them by any means.
Despicable behavior. Remember this source of e-waste when Apple pretends to care about the environment.

After playing with zsh for a couple days (I like it), I have a better feel for why it's taken off. It's not just customizability, it's that it offers a _framework_ for customization. This makes it easier to play with, which leads to community projects like oh-my-zsh, which in turn reinforce that very quality.
God I love FOSS. I rely on so many great projects that make life so much easier for me every day. Definitely don’t deserve that.
