O my sweet summer child… dictatorships don’t have expiration dates. This will not end with an election. It will end with a revolution.

You should have seen the conservative candidate…

What is this? A doxxing for ants?

The why (ICE) is pretty clear. I was really more interested in where - how widespread is this?

Because honestly, the silence is chilling. It feels like the day is being smothered in this blanket of lukewarm fear.

Salute from the old skool! And oh my brother, does the internet archive have a treat for you…

Either that or you need to stop drinking gasoline…

Haven’t done it myself yet, but here’s the docker install guide… seeing what your username is and all…

Gen X here. There has been huge shift in office culture, and the generational shift from boomers out of it has led to a completely different experience, with the biggest shift being in the decrease in overt misogyny and outbursts of anger. Most of my worst bosses were from this generation, including one individual that would literally start screaming and hitting the wall when something went wrong.

Their generation is marked by a lack of impulse control and a deep inner rage that can often be triggered by trivial inconveniences. They also seem to have a vindictiveness to them that I never really understood, holding grudges far past their expiration date. This is in significant contrast to their parents’ generation, which, for all its problems, always seemed to treat us Gen X folks kindly.

“Suck who? I’m gonna do what you tell me.”

It’s time for a nationwide movement to dox ICE agents.

Treason.

Side note for instance owners - the Turks are fucking insane about this shit. Twenty years ago I was hosting an artist’s website. One of the users was from Cyprus and posted pictures from the aftermath of a riot there - nothing extreme, just some graffiti and broken windows.

I started receiving threatening messages (this was early 2000s, so before takedown notices) from someone claiming to be from the Turkish government. I ignored them, as they had no legal authority and fuck autocrats straigtht up Edrogan’s ass.

So then, the site gets taken down by a hacking attack the next week. Some sort of Turkish bullshit appeared on the front page. I fixed it, thought I locked them out.

It was hacked again. I thought I missed something, and when through an even more extreme lockdown process, banning the entire country’s IP.

It was hacked a third time. That’s when I realized they weren’t hacking my site - they were hacking the hosting provider. I proved it by switching providers - the attacks stopped immediately.

That’s how extreme they were about suppressing this stupid picture of a broken window from a riot no one remembered even a week after it happened.

I misread this as “Trumps pooping White House meeting with Netanyahu” and the thumbnail did not disappoint.

“It was thiiiiiiiiis beeg, Donnie!”

Expect another 2-5k trim when the EU announces its retaliation.

CA sales tax averages 10%. While it’s nowhere on the scale of the tariffs, it could offset the impact significantly if reduced or eliminated for goods coming from specific countries.

Additionally, the government of CA has enormous purchasing power. Directing where that money goes could serve to be a powerful tool in mitigating the trade war.

Plus, one element that most folks don’t think about is the financial weight of the CalPERS retirement fund. This organization controls a huge amount of investment money subject to state regulations as to where its invested. Opening up that revenue stream to select foreign companies could be a mighty tasty carrot.

Your points are valid, but I look at AI as an unavoidable trend in the tech space, which is why I experiment with local models. I’d rather understand how they work (and how to protect oneself from them) as I believe avoiding them isn’t really possible in my field.

Thus far, the local models I’ve worked with have gotten a C- on coding, but an A+ on bullshit. I think the tech still has a long way to go before it lives up to the hype, both negative and positive.
