I kinda feel like my cat's got a quest for me
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
"And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert, they call that peace."
Tacitus, about 2000 years ago.
We've learned so little but better ways to kill our fellows and ravage the earth.
New from 404 Media: CBP tapped into the online advertising ecosystem to track peoples' movements, according to an internal DHS document. Shows for the first time DHS tracked phones via process for putting ads in ordinary apps—video games, fitness apps, many more www.404media.co/cbp-tapped-i...
Looks like the hackers are starting to get fed up of democracy being undermined, and are doing something about it. www.theregister.com/2026/02/28/d...
Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
The only way to stop them is to make them not billionaires any more. Folly and arrogance are their only connections to the human condition.
This might be the whitest thing I've ever said, but lavender and vanilla are a glorious combination in cakes.
I have some concerns about the amount of taxidermy in the dining room.
'Te futueo et caballum tuum', given who was riding in.
How lovely that you finally feel this freedom of expression, how vile that you were denied it this long.
Fake sharkologist here and I can say with no authority that shark has just stepped on some lego
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Fool is the kindest term I would use to describe him. 'Obvious shill with no communal spirit' comes to mind as the next.
I fear we'll all live to see the bad bit, but not the good bit.
They want people to know that those people they arrest are terrified. They seek to inspire terror. There's a word for people who seek to do that, I'm sure.
For phone calls I always assumed it was North American English for 'up', and British English for no 'up'. That said, I'm not native to either place, so this all might be misunderstanding.
Aside from the MS part as succinctly noted previously, the bit where they tried to mimic parts of the mismatched amalgam of outlook functions and, almost miraculously, made everything about it worse.
Fewer beans next time *nods*
Creations like this are beyond vile, and dehumanising in the extreme. The thinking behind creating such a thing goes beyond 'we didn't think this through' to true evil.
It's been a rough year living on planet earth, but there are some things worth celebrating. www.scientificamerican.com/article/seve...
It's almost like having people with the most share the most is a moral imperative.
I expected most companies to jump on the AI bandwagon, but 'AI first', Firefox? I've stuck with you through thick and thin since the Netscape Navigator days in 1994, but bye-bye. Don't let the lack of ad revenue and donations hit your arse on the way out.
AI content is trash, and where does trash belong? In the bin. Don't be trash or else be binned. Simple, no?
My food tastes have become *less* weird as I've got older I would happily gobble up samphire with smoked eel all smeared in appelstroop (a thick kind of apple syrup) as a kid.
This was after the 1/4 jar of hot English mustard and butter sandwich phase, but before the microwaved mayonnaise one.
You know what to do baby ❤️
If pet rocks burned down half an acre of the Amazon forest each time you looked at them.
Oh that's dreadful, but I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't seen those stereotypes in action quite regularly.
Among the most prolific and hipocrisy-ridden are:
- Aussies drink more than Brits
- We're all criminals
- shrimp on the barbie
- fosters beer is popular
That'll teach me not to reply when I'm tired! I know what you mean, 23 years of living in the UK and I still get the aussie stereotype jokes.
