Unrelated to US politics, but I genuinely worry about how social media is fucking over the older generations.

My mother in law is 76, and only gets her news from Facebook these days. On Saturday she told me that Sadiq Khan, the London Mayor, has been voted out during the week. Fuck knows where she got that from because it’s just not true. She doesn’t even live in London, but he’s a demon to the kind of ‘news’ sources she’ll read because he’s a lefty who does lefty things.

It’s mad.

As someone who has recently begun dipping in to Linux and trying to figure it all out, I agree with this.

I feel like if Samsung or someone embraced Linux in the way Apple have macOS, it could very easily become a serious contender to Windows. But I guess no one could trust Samsung to not fuck it all up and make it a proprietary fork that would end up having nothing to do with Linux.

I will always upvote Supply Side Jesus. Because he pays me 20 shekels to do so.

That’s how I use Chat GPT. Not for coding, but for help on how to get Excel to do things. I guess some of what I want to do are fairly esoteric, so just searching for help doesn’t really turn up anything useful. If I explain to GPT what I’ll trying to do, it’ll give me avenues to explore.

Thatcher was responsible for many societal ills, but she did at least provide a public, gender neutral toilet for all to use.

But, like, no one has to be a landlord. If it’s so hard, sell the fucking house.

FUCK YOU I WON'T LOOK AT YOUR ADVERTS

ITT: Poor, downtrodden ~~leeches~~ landlords talking about how hard it is to be a landlord, when the easiest way to end their suffering is to just sell their extra fucking house(s).

Apple did it for one year and I think it was just a marketing stunt

That's exactly what it was. They never expected to sell many, just get the headlines for making a "luxury" watch that could "compete" with the likes of Rolex. That some ultra-wealthy people went out and bought one was just a bonus.

The beauty of all of this to the Tories is that it gives them something to crow about, without actually having to do any work.
