"A full repeal of the #InflationReductionAct this year could cause significant damage to the US economy, triggering nearly 790,000 #job losses in 2030 and reducing #GDP by more than $160 billion, modeling published Thursday suggested.
Republican-controlled states — Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Pennsylvania — stand out as the biggest losers."

I’ve been working on a #freebsd from scratch blog post series and was going to skip right over Xorg (preferring #wayland and #sway)…and then I heard about #NSCDE - a reimplementation of #Solaris #CDE look-and-feel via #fvwm
Thanks to work by Christian Moerz, it was a snap. Literally `pkg install Xorg nscde` a change to my .xinitrc and I was up in a pastel bliss again. Run #interlisp on it is a beautiful joy.
I was so impressed AND I got to avoid s security holes and bit rot— so I sent some librepay love. It’s a great project!

From @mmasnick: "Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand #Trump A #Censorship Machine"
techdirt.com/2025/03/21/democr…
"The fundamental problem here is that these Senators don’t understand what #Section230 actually does — or how its repeal would make their stated goals harder to achieve… Here’s what repealing Section 230 would actually do: remove the law that explicitly protects websites when they resist government pressure to censor speech. Without those protections, the Trump administration would have far more leverage to force platforms to remove content they don’t like — whether that’s criticism of Trump, exposure of corruption, or information about voting rights. It can also allow them to pressure websites to host pro-MAGA or pro-Nazi content that sites might not wish to associate with."
