Primaries for senators

What's the difference between today and 40 days ago? Not a damn thing.

I legitimately feel like Democrats just fumbled at the 10 yard line.

Man, I had hope. Like real hope, that they reached in their pants and found accountability. I slept better this week.

It really is a big club, isn't it?

I don't have a chromecast hooked up to mine, but I do have it branched into my computer for input and output. I use a passive stereo mixer, but I feed the tape deck into the output and use the inputs for a speaker, another deck, and my computer input.

I fuckin love tapes. Sure, they wear out, but no one can copyright claim my recordings. Just recently bought a 70's deck to write to commercial tapes that I get from the book tower (a lot of language and children's tapes). My main deck is a Marantz from about the same time as your deck.

They make e-ink android tablets as well. Good for reading, and you can pick your reading app.

You're not the boss of me now!
You're not the boss of me now!
You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big...

I would like to point out that the Fifth Amendment reads "No Person", not "No citizen".

Feels a bit... unconstitutional to claim that due process is only for US Citizens, or legal immigrants.

The AWS outage shows, once again, why monopolization of anything is a bad idea. If we never allowed AWS to grow to that size and buy all of its competition.

Since 2014, Amazon has acquired 18 companies that they rolled into AWS. 18 points of failure versus one. Consumers lose when companies merge.

Bro, this thin blue line shirt? They'll have my back, you know, cuz I have theirs. Better bring my helmet in case they riot on me. Ope, almost forgot my FLIP FLOPS.

He probably told his fuckin friends he was gonna do it.

"Bro, it's gonna be so sick, I'm gonna OWN those libs. They'll be so TRIGGERED, bro. Trust me"

He built this moment up so much in his head, and got laughed at.

It's gotta be worse than when his cousin turned him down for prom.

It's 5 AM, I'm stoned, and I've been watching this for like 10 minutes.

It's cinema. The silly elliptical bike, the fact that his flag is draped all sad, the knock-off black bloc outfit with the FUCKIN FLIP FLOPS?

And no one's looking at him. Benny Hill on a pink megaphone upstaged his big moment.

I did seven years of military service service. I'd rather be circumsized with a rusty saw than work for you morons.

Stop hurting the people I worked to protect. I gave my 20s to the service, and now I watch you brutalize them on TV.

And take off the damn masks, you look like 16 y/o airsoft LARPers

Right, but the things that didn't work in Wine didn't work in WinBoat either lmao

WinBoat is cool, but a hell of a hassle to set up. Additionally, webview2 apps, the worst part of using Linux, still don't seem to work.

I don't understand the use case of WinBoat over Wine/Proton.

Would be sick if someone could reverse engineer webview2 for Linux

how much were those? could be fun to make some displays for my computer or something.

What's so great about Webview2 anyway? Almost every incompatibility I've run into on linux stems from Webview crap. Is there no easier way to make graphics and shit for windows apps?

that's probably the game from my childhood I have the most hours in

Holy shit. A congressional candidate leading by example.

I was taught to lead from the front. It's how you motivate those around you to accomplish the mission.

anyone know any good IRC servers? wouldn't mind getting on and bullshitting with randos again. Think I used to hangout on freenet back in the day, but it's fuzzy.

Wish I could go. Just learned about WV's union history recently. Radical stuff.

I can't find any video sources for this, only posts on social media. The original thread on Threads is a picture, not a video.

I also found the original thread where the claim was made. The evidence does not confirm or deny that this was ever said live. All we have is the word of a twitter user.

The AI image of an AI datacenter is next level irony. Here's what we'll be doing here, making nonsense images for everyone to look at and feel... nothing.

What do you think all the servers we're using for AI will end up doing when the bubble bursts?

Cheap gaming servers? High-fidelity 3d rendering farms? I mean, there's so much you can do with a kajillion graphics cards backed by the fastest internet ever used.

Legacy media having to learn what a groyper is was not on my 2025 bingo card.

I love that they're always so caught off guard by how... online people are.

The only thing funnier would be legacy media "discovering" how gross Asmongold is.

Welcome to the internet, legacy media. You're gonna hate it.

I ain't gonna lie, I'm super tired of seeing AI shit everywhere.

No one did it. It's just AI garbage being passed around from Twitter to Facebook to Instagram to Twitter to Bluesky.

Fuck man, the internet really is dead.

Aren't you the news, anyhow? What's happening in Tennessee this week?

Automating the solution is equal to fixing the problem. My laptop drops bluetooth and wifi coming back from sleep. So it runs a shell script to press the Fn-F9 keys twice to bring it back when it wakes back up.

Apparently the definition of breaking is flexible now. Wild.

Apparently @merriam-webster.com is one of the clippy folks, too. Fuckin sick.

What's Darwin?

We really need better tech literacy.

Whats happened here is that a blurry photo was fed into a generative AI, which proceeded to make stuff up to fill in the missing (blurry) data in the image.

I know the tech companies are preaching that Ai is magic, but it's just guessing. Expensively guessing.
