What the fuck do you mean I got a longer prison sentence than Diddy

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

I rely upon @andylevy.net for inciteful baseball commentary.

She deserved a third Oscar for "Barbarella".

I had such a crush on her as a kid after seeing "Barbarella", her best work.

If you want to stand up for free-speech, the time to do it is when you own side is violating it, such as during Biden's pressuring Internet companies to censor "misinformation".

If you only defend the speech of your own side, what you are defending is your side, not free-speech principles.

My sister lives in the Portland area and I'm trying to convince her to drive downtown to take video of the Rose City Antifa protests outside the ICE detention center.

Don't modern phones do a good job at this now?

"In 2025, Americans may be reading this novel with somewhat different eyes than in times gone by, when strongman rule, cult-like worship of leaders, and reality-denying propaganda were things that happened somewhere else." www.thebulwark.com/p/animal-far...

You an easily find license plate reading apps for your Android. Modern phones easily have enough AI power to do a good job, recording not just the number, but also the color, type of car, and often even the make/model of car.

...and, of course, act counter to the Leader's interests in an environment where law enforcement is hunting political enemies.

License plate readers are growing fast. These days, they are cheap to own and operate. Essentially, a $100 burner phone with a $5/month prepaid account can be made into a license plate reader. It's gonna solve a lot of crime, making it impractical to drive anywhere to commit crime.

State police: "Why does your license plate say SNIFFER?"

You: "Uh, erm, oh, it's because I'm in IT. That refers to a packet sniffer that diagnoses Internet problems."

State police: "Okay, carry on."

you guys don't mock the president. my own grandfather was murdered when an escalator stopped, launching him 700 feet through a hotel lobby and into the open mouth of a waiting anaconda

I'm told it's over 200% of mathematicians agree cutting prices by 1500% is impossible.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

James Comey was just indicted by a grand jury.

Back in the Obama admin as FBI director, he defended government encryption backdoors by claiming that the DoJ would never abuse it's authority, and if it did, the courts would stop them.

Has he changed his mind?

As far as I can tell, all the good people have been raptured.

I see you are still here.

As far as I can tell, all the good people have been raptured.

In yesterday's discussion of that UN SIM farm story, I mentioned the conflict between techies and the sorts of "people who matter" that the NYTimes quotes.

Today, I write a blogpost that expands on that.
