  • You are calling people out about assumptions, and saying Joss was “acting erratically” and I would like to point out that you don’t know that his “erratic” behaviour wasn’t in response to anything, nor who may have incited him to act that way.

    Just because he didn’t point the finger at someone for one crime or another, doesn’t mean he did it either. He may have been covering for someone to either save face or avoid escalation.

    I’m not saying I know either, and that’s my point. You see some reports and news stories and you’ve drawn conclusions and made assumptions based on that without really knowing if any of the assumptions you made are correct.

    The only person who really knew is dead now, at the hands of someone who clearly had issues getting along with him.

    This argument is stupid. They might not know but neither do you.





  • For those curious, if you can get a European Windows product key, you can install the “N” version of Windows. Be warned, it only works with certain product keys

    The standard Windows installer should give the option of “Windows 10” or “Windows 10 N” (or similar). The N version is basically bloatware free out of the box…

    The regular version has a bunch of promos pre-installed, like candy crush, and other things that most people couldn’t give a shit about…

    Recently I’ve been playing a “fun” game with my work laptop where I’ll remove copilot, and a few days later it will appear again. Weeee. In that case, it wouldn’t surprise me if there’s a policy in place to enable copilot on my works systems… I’m sure someone who works here, probably higher up the food chain than me, wants it enabled, and the ham fisted policy maker can’t create a policy just for those who want it, so everyone gets it because the bosses son Shane decided that he wants to see how much of his work can get done by AI so he can do even less while on the clock.







  • Does it really matter? It’s a shit looking vehicle that can’t drive in the rain if you don’t switch to carwash? Mode? I think?

    The vehicle has so many design oddities, so many manufacturing problems, and it’s associated to one of the least liked billionaires in recent memory, so much so that people in the general public go out of their way to vandalize the vehicle whenever the opportunity presents itself.

    What’s to like about it? Even if you don’t hate Elon, and don’t hate the look/design, the"truck" is a meme at best and a gigantic waste of resources.



  • From the wording, it looks like they’re just going to georestrict their content to places that are not Turkey.

    Far from a problem, unless of course, your primary following is from Turkey; or that’s where you live.

    I don’t blame bluesky here, they operate internationally, and they have to obey the laws of the locations they operate in. Personally I’m wondering what kind of Internet posts are restricted in Turkey? Who has laws to say you can, or cannot say things on the Internet? Besides… I guess, China, and obviously illegal things like CP…

    Were they posting CP?

    IDK, I’ve never used bluesky. I barely used xitter, back when it was relevant, if I were to use anything as a replacement it would be Mastodon.

    Anyways.



  • This is my thought exactly.

    I watched Steven Colbert yesterday saying that this large of a fuck up is proof there is no deep state. While I get his point, I disagree. If there is someone in the shadows pulling strings this was the intended outcome.

    It’s pretty well known that in trading markets, there’s almost always something that goes up when everything else drops like a rock. Even as such, moving money to be liquid right before a steep drop off, then buying up all the formerly high-value stocks at bargain basement pricing, and just waiting for the rebound, is a legit strategy. Having foreknowledge of such an action is considered insider trading however. Realistically, insider trading is difficult to prove unless the perpetrator is an idiot.

    Whether you call it the deep state or the 1% or oligarchs, or simply “rich assholes”, if you believe there is a group orchestrating things, then you beat believe this was the intended outcome.
