I upgraded all of my devices to 16gb or 32gb of RAM just as all this crap started happening, before prices spiked, and made sure I have enough storage.

Now I’m just praying that all of the hardware holds out for 2-3 years to weather this storm. Please keep on chugging, my 5800X in a B550 mobo…I literally can’t afford to replace you anytime soon.

$20 says this fuck rubs it to gay porn.

Those are some moral poop flingers, let me tell ya.

Banning groups like that only amplifies their “persecuted” persona. It’s best to spend on education and destroying their credibility, which is how we dealt with fucking idiots before we got complacent.

It’s Copilot all the way down.

Renaming it to CoPilot Browser in 3…2…

I started to get really nervous reading the beginning of the headline, expecting some litigation thing. Glad I was wrong and it’s just a wonderful update blog.

What a shame. I actually really like Tim Walz. He was the only half of the presidential ticket that I did like.

I’d argue it’s closer to Russia invading Cuba, but valid.

On the one hand, Maduro’s leadership is illegitimate and horrible.

That said, the US isn’t invading because they want to bring peace and democracy to them. It’s because they want to get oil production for private businesses back into the country and because they didn’t “fall in line”.

Fucking US Imperialism revival going on…

Which is ironic because AI unpredictably makes errors.

TIL you can add IMAP and POP3 to Gmail to import your email.

Why would anyone with another email service WANT that? Do you like giving Google even more data than they already have on you?

Are the games launching via xwayland when they’re not working? Are they displaying normally on your desktop monitor, but just not streaming correctly?

North Korea has lost nearly all of its expertise in manufacturing, development, etc.

NK was a powerhouse around 50-60 years ago, but significantly stupid decision making has led to them falling behind South Korea.

Sanctions are a good chunk of their problems, but NK has a lot of failed leadership and is an example of a failed communist nation just as much as the United States is an example of a failed/failing Democratic Republic.

Also, “emigration rates” is a bullshit metric. You CAN’T leave NK without special permission from the government. That’s like arguing a prison is doing great because none of the inmates are leaving.

Any country is allowed to defend itself. That includes North Korea, Venezuela, Ukraine, etc.

North Korea has other significant problems, including brain drain and lack of tillable soil to feed it’s people. It’s why it’s leadership continually antagonizes its neighbors to get concessions of food.

United States Imperialism is fucked as well, but America has been fucked in the head for a long time with rampant military industrial complex spending and warmonger leadership.

The difference between you and me is that I don’t gloss over any country’s failings.

Gee. I wonder why you’d suddenly buy weapons…maybe because you’re being threatened by the neighboring country?

Why TF would they do exercises about how to blockade the island, then?

I’m a socialist, so the Democratic party doesn’t typically represent me.

I’m glad I bought my house when interest rates were just barely above 3%. I couldn’t afford my home if I had to buy it today.

This fucking economy sucks and we need to start removing everyone in power forcefully until the problems go away. Then start again.

I know I’m old because I saw 56k and immediately wondered why they were doing this over dialup.
