So my perspective on this:
1) I use a throwaway laptop from 2016 as BYOD for work
2) I very rarely log in my personal windows 11 device (and agentic AI is turned off)
3) I use my employer provided win11 at workband lament about the abuse the hardware receives from win11
Personal computing is Linux

As it happened with the banks in 2008, the peasants will have to bail the circular financing AI bubble actors out, even if the botlicking governments have to mandate that everyone (including the unborn) are given 3 bot accounts & paid by posttax statutory paycheck deductions.

Rereading @stephenking.bsky.social "The Running Man" which is set in the future (2025)
"I remember when Mick Jagger was a big name. You don't even know who he was, do ya?"
Who could have predicted that he is still here and is still a big name in 2025? 🤭

Forget JSON, TOON, and VSC! The VST (Values Separated by Tabs), retains all the advantages of the VSC but brings the Pythonic esthetics to the table; a format that was stolen from the LLM gods and gifted to humans by the Prometheus (PROMpting the ETHEr for sUbStance) of the human founder spirit.

👀#Perl is a messy, maddening programming language, the “duct tape of the internet.”
✊But at least you can tell it was made by humans.
🙏Still, I find myself returning to this strange language, and I think it’s because of the humility at its core.

Grab popcorn as the premiums of the individual healthcare plans for 2026 are announced. Looking at the number of layoffs and the age distribution of those being laid off, many more people will have to transition from an employer to a pricey individual plan during the midterms.
