Fuck TIME Magazine for giving anyone a platform to make threats against others.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Holy Fucking Shit what a goddamn baby.

This is how you Canada

Next thing you know, Musky will order staff to create entirely false tweets on official accounts and lock the accounts so the false tweets can't be deleted. He will burn that entire company to the ground to get TFG back in.

I think an unofficial sport of The Internet is to coin new slang and convince others that everyone else is using it.

Removing the "up" from "washed up" doesn't seem all that clever, though.

This article is one of the most down-to-earth, realistic observations on technology I've ever read. Utterly striking as well.

Go Read This Article.

dog food is about double what it was in 2020. Say what you will about the cost of energy going up during that time: there's no way to blame ONLY energy costs for that.

It's greed.

On another forum, I was complaining about how Microsoft was planning to remove WordPad from Win11. I was advised that installing OpenOffice or LibreOffice was an appropriate replacement. I replied that WordPad was only 3 megs large, as opposed to the recommended replacements, which are decidedly larger.

I guess not everybody appreciates tight code, but I surely do. Things like this are amazingly impressive.

This indicates that the CEO in question actually misunderstood their lawyer's position in life. AI-pushers really do think that all workers are expendable. They have absolutely drunk the Flavour-Aid on all of this.

They probably don't even see this as an "oopsie", just an argument to throw even more resources at the AI, because they're SO CLOSE to never having to pay a human for work ever again.

Industry groups argued that those museums didn’t have “appropriate safeguards” to prevent users from distributing the games once they had them in hand. They also argued that there’s a “substantial market” for older or classic games, and a new, free library to access games would “jeopardize” this market. Perlmutter agreed with the industry groups.

So as long as someone, somewhere, might make a penny off of them, they can't be free. Insert your own metaphor here.

It's pretty upsetting to begin with, but if you change the wording to: "Pregnant women in Missouri don't have the right to get divorced" it's somehow even worse.

old cables. because YOU NEVER KNOW

Startup says it wants some more cocaine and wants to know if you know anyone with some more cocaine because some more cocaine would be fuckin' great right now holy shit

this still smells of propaganda, like it's woven through the whole thing. "The American worker is making peace with a longer ride".
and yet the very first example they provide is someone who works from home twice a week.

I'll tell you this: the commute is even better when you work from home. WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

getting rid of First-Past-The-Post alleviates the drive toward a 2-party system. The author mentions this (they have written extensively on it).

Spotify's plans to take money from subscribers but never pay a fucking dime to anyone else , ever.

What no AI-enabled bidet?

remember how over the past few years almost everything brand new had the word "blockchain" shoehorned into it for no good reason?

This is the same kind of thing. It's an atrocious boondoggle. There must still be a serious amount of cocaine floating around Venture Capitalist parties, because one of those boys is gonna drop 500M on this company and think they bought the dip, when in fact they, themselves, are the dip.

Every article about how poorly this man is as a candidate is merely an attempt to charm Democratic voters into not voting.

Do not let them sway you. Everyone Must Vote.
