Windows 11 is going to be rewritten completely around agentic AI. That together with Proton progress was the final push I needed to install Linux not only on my work PCs but also on my gaming machines. Bazzite - wifi didn't work. I'll lose nerdcred but I think I'll just try Ubuntu next.

Doesn’t really alter my opinion about Chomsky the genocide apologist, but one more nail to the coffin.
In 2023, Chomsky told WSJ about his relationship with Epstein: “First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally.”
Epstein: you are of course welcome to use apt in new york with your new leisure time, or visit new Mexico again

Bill Gates hasn’t made sense on Climate since he teamed up with Bjorn Lomberg in 2009. This is just a restating of Bjorn’s book from this year about how we have a finite amount of money and we shouldn’t use it for climate. What they get wrong is that climate solutions are now fully profitable.
Bill Gates has a new memo out calling for a “strategic pivot” on climate change, downplaying “doomsday” talk to focus on filling enormous post-USAID budget gaps in global health and vaccine funding. I got an early glimpse of his thinking last week:
7 New Takes From Bill Gates on Climate ‘Doomsday’ Talk and Global Health

I tried one of those Dubai Chocolate that's everywhere in shops now, and it tasted like a overly sweet worst-quality 2 dollar chocolate wafer in Sweden but cost over 20 dollars. Let me guess, this is some influencer hyped trend?
