Whether technology is inherently bad is of nearly no matter. The problem we’re dealing with is the technologies with exherent badness.

Knowing him, he probably decided to solve that one with a water hose.

$15000 is rookie numbers.

I can offer $150 for one!

They vote, and they vote party lines without a single thought put into the consequences.

In other words yes, they knew this would happen.

Cry me a río. That’s “river” in Venezuelan.

I mean, “compares as bad” is comparable, right? :p

Isn’t it dangerous now that PDFs can run javascript? (Who had that idiotic idea, anyway?)

Are those even legit anymore? Any idiot judge (or DOGE script kiddie pretending to be one) can sign one.

“impeachment without removal” is just performative showoff. Without removal, they’d continue to do as-do, and they’d even feel more emboldened (if that was still possible).

ICE agents don’t know nor care to know how to read, let alone how to ask for a passport.

If you are approached suspiciously by men in black, have your gun at the ready.

Wow! Imagine all the grandstanding that people will do with “records of what happened” while hoping that people vote differently next time!

Whattt? Is Trump saying that the US of A, the “greatest” country in the world, can’t engage in its secondmost favourite activity which is literally suing people?

Not picking favourites, but the Biden administration, not even the Clinton administration, had this “skill issue”.

Despite the failures (or needs-of-improvement) of the current federation model, it is absolutely safe against that. Federation is copies, not links.

Walk and chew gum yes, anyone can do. From what I’ve seen of democrats, however, it seems they’re limited to walk-and-talk, or talk-and-talk.

While Van Hollen has hinted at more trips to El Salvador by congressional Democrats, the party has been divided about how best to respond to Abrego Garcia’s case. Some high-profile Democrats have opted to keep the focus on the economic backlash to Trump’s sweeping tariffs, which polling suggests is much more of a political liability to the president than his ongoing efforts to deport immigrants.

Cowards of which nothing better is expected.

Well, that’s just about as good news as can be in the current tech climate, in particular considering programs like VLC and KeePass are getting this visibility.

wants no tariffs

operationally supports tariffs

Oh well.

I have some people at a client’s still happily using 8.1 (but hey, at least they’re not using 7!).

And, to be frank, if they had to stay on Windows I’d prefer they stay on 8.1 anyway. What with 10 requiring the online accounts or adding start menu adds or removing the interfaces of the Control Panel and everything else.

Why would you do that to yourself???

Suspicious, that’s exactly what Trump said would happen.
