Except in that story, humanity rolled back to feudalism with “great houses” of rich families in charge. I’d like to aim for more of a Star Trek future or something maybe.

Pyrex snapware ftw
The docker implementation on synology is pretty bad. I ran my setup on there for about a year before I got fed up. Ended up picking up a mini-pc and installing unraid on it, which has a much better way to run and manage docker containers. Only downside is having two machines now with the storage pool over the network. A bit more complications rather than direct attached storage.
All House seats and about 1/3 of the Senate seats are up for election each midterm cycle. Even if the midterms were delayed, all those seats expire at the end of their term regardless.
Yeah that all sounds right to me. Except from the story they say that it won’t affect their credit score, which seems incorrect. If the company sells your debt to a collector, that gets reported to the credit agencies and is a big negative mark for you. Then later if you pay off the debt collector, that doesn’t fix the original negative mark.
Or destroying the ozone layer.
Up to 4-5 Starlink satellites now burn up in Earth's atmosphere daily, releasing aluminum oxide particles that catalyze ozone destruction. Each 250kg satellite releases about 30 kg of aluminum oxide when it burns up, forming nanoparticles that persist in the stratosphere for 20–30 years, continuously damaging the ozone layer. With plans for up to 42,000 Starlink satellites (plus thousands more from other companies) all on 5-year replacement cycles, annual reentries could exceed 8,000 by the 2030s, adding 360 metric tons of aluminum oxide per year, 640% above natural levels.
The Montreal Protocol, which successfully phased out CFCs and enabled ozone recovery, does not cover aluminum oxide pollution from satellites. The FCC currently categorizes satellites as “extraterritorial activities” exempt from National Environmental Policy Act review, meaning no environmental assessment is required before launch approval. By the time the full impacts appear in the 2040s–2050s, the damage could be irreversible.
Amazon just did more layoffs today.
Exactly. For a lot of people, the end of the day is your time. The beginning of the day is just getting ready and going to work. It serves the interest of the corporate employers to put more daylight (so to speak) at the start of the workday rather than letting us have that daylight for ourselves after work. It’s daylight theft!
Mullvad or Proton are both easy recommendations
Perhaps so, but it should be up to a medical professional (doctor) whether or not those treatments are appropriate for the patient. Not for-profit companies run by sociopathic executives. (Although in this case we are talking about state-run Medicare using private companies’ AI to make the determination.)

I’d add Pantheon to this list for amazing sci-fi adult animation. I loved both Scavenger’s Reign and Common Side Effects.
I know that Common Side Effects is getting a second season. I really wish Scavenger's Reign would get another season. That show is amazing.
Edit: Also, not a tv show, but the animated French film Arco was lovely. Beautiful hand drawn animation, set in the far future, and not just another dystopian story. Will also mention another animated French film Mars Express was pretty cool.
