Google's helpful AI thinks Microsoft still offers access to their FTP server.

They don't. It doesn't even respond to ping.

My kid just WhatsApped from his German exchange trip. They had to call an ambulance for him.

He has food poisoning, was very pale and nauseous. He was dehydrated and his blood pressure was dropping.

He's fine now but I wanted to share this because it has the most Western Europe Is a Civilized Place ending ever.

The paramedics came to the mall, took him into the ambulance, gave him an IV, checked him out, stayed with him until he felt better, then told him "No charge. Enjoy your trip to Germany." And if that wasn't enough, when they realized the group had had to move onto the train station without him, they gave him a ride over there to catch up with them.

I'm so ground down by the predatory realities of America in general in 2025 that this just about blew my fucking mind.

Sometimes I think that Xcode must have the worst build times in the world, and then I try Android Studio and remember that you can't even build your app offline because gradle wants to download 10GB of gibberish Kotlin dependencies every time you switch branches

There's just, like, no denying it.

"One day, of course, it will be seen as absurd that anyone could have denied that this was anything other that genocide. And it will be asked how, given the overwhelming evidence of both intent and action, anyone could possibly have denied it was genocide"

In 2004 Bill Gates said that the spam problem would be solved in two years.

Why am I still getting lots of spam in 2025?

Fucking tech bros and their bullshit predictions.
