Anyone who still uses Twitter either condones what Musk has done and is doing, or is completely oblivious.

I long for the day it dies the death it deserves and Musk is left holding the bag having to pay all the debt. If only he’d be forced to do that, but like all rich assholes, he’ll get out of it somehow.

And I won’t bother to watch it because I know all I need to know about the moronic felon. Enjoy the show :)

I have been using Linux off and on for 25 years (using the server pretty consistently, but always hedged with the desktop for various reasons). Since Proton and GE-Proton allow every game I want to play to work in Linux, back when Recall was first announced, I decided to finally stop hedging and went all in on the Linux desktop.

And I’m not going back. Everything is working for me and Microsoft can screw off if they think I’m going to allow such blatant spyware in my house. Their telemetry was always suspect, but this is now overt despite any assurances they attempt to make.

Edit>> And their “oh you can uninstall Recall” isn’t trustworthy when they will easily reinstall it with a Windows update (they have done this in the past with other software — notably Edge and Teams).

I used to adore her, back in the day when she was on Carson. Then she had to become successful and turn into what she is now. Humility is not a concept she has ever pondered.

Oh so now that the oppressive ideology and regime are affecting them, too, the men suddenly have a problem with it. Seems we’re at the “and find out” stage.

One of the few giants upon whose shoulders we all stand.

It’s nice to know we can break the law and get away with it, as long as it’s within the scope of our duties.

The flaw is that journalism and journalists today no longer have any integrity and fidelity to the truth. They only have fidelity to what gets the most clicks and what makes the most money.

If Russia wants to start WWIII, that’s a good way to do it.

To those saying “he’s right”…

He’s complacent. He’s a useless troll. He thinks nothing should change because he’s effectively saying “it is what it is”, which is the same bullshit response I see from every single conservative who continues to simply say “thoughts and prayers” after an event like this. There are many ways to try to help prevent such a tragedy, and blanket statement of it being a “fact of life” does literally nothing.

And every day, it keeps happening. And every day, the media keeps shining a spotlight on it. And every day, nothing gets done.

W T actual F?

The damage is done, though. And the fact that Intel wouldn’t do anything about damaged CPUs (edit: without requiring the customer to call over and over and over about the RMA) or recall affected CPUs is quite telling. So I’m jumping ship to AMD for my next build.

Make no mistake — there are still millions and millions in Trump’s cult. And they will do everything they can to not lose again and again and again. Even when Trump dies, they’ll find some other horrible person to latch onto because they give the cultists permission to be assholes out in the open.

This won’t be over until this kind of uneducated nonsense is bred out. And I mean that from all angles: literal cycle of life, as well as improving the education system in this country.

They didn’t care before because it was in their interest to support him. Now it’s not.

There are a few who truly paid the price of opposing him and I can at least respect that. Kinzinger, Cheney, for examples…not that I would agree with them on much, but they at least stood up to Trump when it mattered.

I don’t have an answer for you, but I have a caution…

I once worked for AT&T and worked on AT&T Messages.

DO NOT USE IT, if it still exists, if you’re with AT&T. At the time I worked on it, there was no encryption except in-flight (https) – which means if I had had production access (and some people who worked there at my level, definitely did), I could have read all messages, blobs, everything. I was told after I quit that they intended to add encryption, but since AT&T would still hold the keys, it’s useless.

Built on Chromium. No thanks.

Fuck spez.

He was the last, true, good President. It’s unfortunate that we’ll never see the likes of him again.

Make sure to get up to date on your vaccinations, and wear a raincoat — it’s racist out there with a high chance of tears.

Great. Now do something about it. I get that it’s stacked against them, but the only people who can fix Russia are Russians.
