I know this seems counterintuitive, but I originally liked computers as a kid because they felt “simple” to me. By the time I was in college they already felt overly complex. By now, they feel like hopeless, impenetrable, tangled disasters.
Old machines were limited and clunky and temperamental and slow and often a huge pain in the ass, but I felt like I could understand them. Today there is so much to memorize, so many interconnected systems and services and toolchains and transpilers and webpackers…
I don’t know, maybe I’m just getting too old. But even in my 30s, my peers never seemed to have a problem understanding and adapting to these new paradigms, while I struggled. They are managers and directors and VPs now. I am still a senior software engineer, at the denouement of his career.

#veterans #vets #homeless #homelessness #TrumpRegime
"The Department of Justice and Department of Veterans Affairs just quietly handed themselves a troubling new weapon, analyst Steve Kennedy wrote Thursday in Slate.
They announced a partnership allowing VA attorneys to become federal prosecutors with the power to petition state courts for guardianship and conservatorship over veterans deemed unable to make medical decisions.
'On its face, the policy sounds like a bureaucratic fix to a real problem,' wrote Kennedy.
Hospitals struggle when patients can't consent to treatment and the government claims this accelerates care for vulnerable veterans. However, guardianships are sledgehammer legal tools. Once imposed, they strip adults of fundamental rights over medical decisions, housing, and life choices.
'And in the context of homelessness, that authority can become a powerful tool for control,' he warned. 'That is what makes the DOJ–VA agreement noteworthy. Especially considering the Trump administration’s hostility to people experiencing homelessness, the policy could also allow the government to place some homeless veterans under legal supervision that determines where they live and what treatment they receive.'
The Trump administration ditched the decades-old 'Housing First' approach that cut veteran homelessness by 56 percent since 2010 by prioritizing stable housing and voluntary services. Now officials are pushing coercive alternatives like government-run encampments and centralized facilities.
This new conservatorship power would create a legal superhighway straight into those controlled environments. A guardian would be able to decide where homeless veterans live and what treatment they receive. Once under guardianship, veterans lose the ability to refuse placements or reject institutional settings."

@danilo The other externality is housing stock. Rich speculators buy up perfectly good dwelling houses to put on #AirB&B, meaning that low income folk in remote rural areas are forced into #Homelessness or #Emigration.

New Leg. Proposes to Take Wall St Out of the Housing Market
The bill would ban hedge funds from buying & owning single-family homes in the US. If signed into law -could potentially increase the supply of homes available for individual buyers -would require hedge funds to sell off all the single-family homes -over a 10-yr period, & eventually prohibit such cos.-.
“The housing in our neighborhoods should be homes for people, not profit centers for Wall Street,” said Sen. Jeff Merkley. “Yet, in every corner of the country, giant financial corporations are buying up housing and driving up both rents and home prices.”
Without this legislation, "... large institutions are projected to own more than 40 percent of all single-family rental units in the U.S. by 2030"
This legislation should've been passed years ago

CW: SF Pol - Mayor's race
Just listened to #DanielLurie, candidate for #SFMayor answer a question about how he'd support #SFMTA.
He focused on safety, and the need to get people into mental health/ addiction treatment.
Seemed totally unaware that too many buses are too crowded for people with a mobility scooter, or walker, or with a child in a pushchair, to get on the bus.
Saddened that he seems to be working the "homeless are a public safety threat" angle.

It has been a long time coming, and it will be a long time until its benefits are felt, but rugby's administrators seem to have finally found a way to untie the Gordian Knot that has seen the game forever hopelessly biased toward its traditional powers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2023/10/25/more-sports/world-rugby-smaller-nations/?utm_content=buffer49a42&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #moresports #worldrugby

#Wagga residents call for proper #sanitation at #homelesscamp where #baby was found #dead.
Tent where twins were born up to a 15-minute walk away from nearest public toilets or running water.
#Homelessness is a growing problem in Wagga, with multiple encampments in the area. Several people working in local social services said the river camp was seen as a safer, quieter spot compared with other encampments, with single women, some under 25, living there. #auspol

#Homeless is only a #slur for those who have turned good into a slur (think dogooder). For most, it has been desceiptive only. No value judgement. No charachter establishment. Words have #power. When we attack words, that's #meaningful. When we do so without #merrit, we reduce the power we have into meaningless bickering. It's #autocastration. One might bring forward the change from #homosexual to #gay, but that's #rewriting #history. Or rather, distorting history. /2
