Was it because Win11 had a bunch of slopcoded Copilot bs? Inquiring minds want to know.

Good. That’s a captive audience. Fuck people who do this. Same as when a dance group plays loud music on a train I can’t exit while performing a routine.

My father nearly died of polio as a kid. This was before the vax. My mother was slightly younger and remembered getting the vax because it was a big deal. It’s super cool how lunatics are undoing all the progress we made protecting children from diseases. Let’s have more suffering, isn’t that great? Ffs.

Thoughts as I was reading this:

He then brought his wife and eight children…

This is not someone who should be taken seriously. Not normal.

He also said his family no longer recommends that other foreigners move to Russia because the authorities keep changing the rules and “there’s no way forward.”

Haha, loser. Imagine finding out in 2026 that the Russian state is corrupt.

Since November 2025, foreign men ages 18 to 65 who are deemed fit for military service have been required to sign a contract with the Defense Ministry to obtain a permanent residence permit in Russia. People who moved to Russia through the “traditional values” program are not exempt from this requirement.

Go get killed for the state, moron. Why do you think they let you in? Because they’re nice and friendly? They need cannon fodder, you dolt.

So do I. We had our financial person take steps to limit our exposure. Still, I expect we’ll take a major hit regardless. Hopefully, we can ride it out with no major financial emergency forcing us to sell while the market is down.

No, piracy is about “Yaaaarrrr!”

In its submission to the EU’s Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List consultation, the group calls yt-dlp “a major problem for the music industry” and names four of its maintainers by their GitHub handles.

Ok, so add YouTube to the list.

I think this is the right move. They started on MacOS. They expanded to Linux and Win for reasons that were unclear (to me). If they can’t keep all three going, open-sourcing the code is appropriate. If people want to keep going, awesome. If not, well… And they refocus their resources to the platform that they presumably consider their primary home, else they wouldn’t have started with MacOS first.

I have Orion installed and occasionally use it. But I’m also a browser junky and can’t resist trying every new browser I read about. (I’m posting this from the recently announced Search browser and it’s using impressively low system resources. I recommend test driving it if you’re curious. I’m not affiliated in any way).

My favorite part is how he was the only one who could prevent new wars. And stop existing wars. It’s pretty cool how now there’s no more wars. Amerika is finely great again.

We’ll fucking take your rights! But wait, maybe let’s wait a moment…

I’m pretty sure Ed Zitron has been keeping pretty good accounting numbers. Whether you think his predictions are right or wrong (the hype has outlived even my expectations), I think he’s right about how much debt has been generated vs how much cash will be needed to service that debt and it seems highly unlikely that we aren’t letting these companies pretend there’s a pot of gold under every blade of grass to our own detriment.

If it didn’t make sense, that’s because it’s early and I just woke up.

I bet it helps a lot alienation an entire market to the north.

I bought an M1 MacBook Air as my first Apple Silicon Mac when they hit the market (longtime Mac user, so direct comparison to Intel Macs). It blew me away. Still have it, despite replacing it with a MBP. At this point, it’s the extra screen off to the side playing videos while I nerd out in my office, though it can do much more.

Look, when I signed up to work for an agency that deports people to countries they’ve never been to, I was fine with it cause I was gonna get a lot of money. Now that I’m not getting that money, I obviously have to vote even harder for the assholes fucking me over because the brown people are the reason I didn’t get paid, not the president who routinely doesn’t pay people. This post was sponsored by the Heritage Foundation or some shit.

Great! Now let’s have soldier’s take selfies in the undergarments of Israeli women. Every suffering that they’ve inflicted should be realized at home.

But the dodge bros saved us something like fifty bajillion dollars, right? It all evens out, surely. There’s no way up-front preventative action costs less than huge recalls, right?

Nerds missed old google five to ten years ago. It was crap way before the AI garbage, but agreed that they’re shoving bs on us.

Certainly not anyone who objected to the practice.

Wrong. It’s always the one you’d least suspect. A guy who hates women would never hurt women.

It’s fucking irony, fuck you.

That’ll solve everyone’s concerns! Another win for maga. /s
