Yeah actually, that's genocide.

The answer is: they do not give a shit.

They do not care about the US as a country.

They do not care about the Americans as a people.

They do not care about the economy.

They do not care about anything apart from their own personal interest. Lining their own pockets is all they care about. If someone helps them do that, they are friends with them. If they don't, they do not matter.

Congratulations, you now officially live in a cleptocracy where they shake you down, take all of your money and give it to the guys who already have billions. All the taxes they claim to save by obliterating social security, affordable care etc? They are not going back to you, they will stuff them in Musk's pockets through bullshit contracts and other schemes.

And at the same time, they are critically crippling the IRS to make sure the billionairs no longer even have to pretend to pay taxes.

It does seem that more than a few of this kind of people are quite tonedef. One example is a lot of them liking Rage Against the Machine but objecting when Tom Morello makes a political statement, as if their entire song catalog wasn't political and literally raging against everything those conservatives and/or fascists hold dear.

(re)Ditched Windows on my PC a while ago, still have to use Windows at work. Just checked my work laptop running Windows 11 (standard laptop, not a "Copilot+PC") - sure enough, that Recall shit is installed and active. Disabled it, and made a post in our main company Teams channel with screenshots. Will be interesting to see if there are any reactions to this.

To find out if it is active in Windows 11, open up 'cmd' and use: (typing this from memory, hope it is correct)

dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:Recall

to disable it, you need a 'cmd' instance with admin rights:

dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Recall

STOP DOING C++

  • Templates were not supposed to make your error messages explode into unrecognizable gibberish
  • "Yes, please generate 5000 pages of garbage instead of an understandable error message!" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

Look at what compilers have been demanding your respect for all this time:

???

They have played us for absolute fools.

English letters? Really? So basically no a-z, only Æ, Þ, Ƿ, Ð?

That article - and especially the title - seem misleading. To quote (emphasis mine):

The result surprised even the research group: compared to pure barium titanate of a similar thickness, the current flow was up to 1,000 times stronger, despite the fact that the proportion of barium titanate as the main photoelectric component was reduced by almost two thirds.

I am sure this is exciting and very important research though.

Anything sold by Gwyneth Paltrow in her online shop, which I will not name here so as not to promote it. In the best case, goods sold there will be harmless and entirely useless. In the worst case, they will cause serious harm.

They really don't. They're throwing LGBTQIA+ people under the truck because it's a polarizing issue and it distracts people from the fact that the rich are fucking all of us over and capitalism is destroying this planet. It's pretty much the same with abortion rights. They don't give a shit if you're gay or trans or whatever. But making your life fucking miserable distracts us from all the other damage they do. That's all.

So we should fight for LGBTQIA+ rights, and abortion rights, but we should also finally fucking start to EAT THE RICH.
