am sorry, but $4/gallon in 2026 is a fucking joke. back in the 1990s, gas was $7/g̶a̶l̶l̶o̶n̶ litre in many european countries.

petrol should be $20 a gallon if not more because USians should have changed the way they develop suburbs.

USA DOESN’T NEED CARS, it needs walkable towns with stores, hospitals, schools, post offices, grocery stores.

i hate USA suburbs because they are literally food, health care and education deserts.

KILL THE USA SUBURB,
SAVE THE WORLD.

Everything in the Trump administration is a source for manipulation. Here is the travel advisories map from Marco Rubio's Department of State:

🔵 Traveling to Kazakhstan Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan: No problem.

🟡 Traveling to completely safe EU countries like Denmark, Sweden or Germany: Exercise increased caution.

For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.

~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.

This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.

I teach cybersecurity. And I genuinely don't know what to tell my students after this one. Federal reviewers spent years trying to get basic encryption documentation from Microsoft for its GCC High government cloud. They couldn't get it. One reviewer called the system a "pile of spaghetti pies," with data traveling from point A to point B the way you'd get from Chicago to New York: a bus to St. Louis, a ferry to Pittsburgh, and a flight to Newark. Each leg is a potential hijacking. They knew this. They said this out loud in writing. Then they approved it anyway in December 2024, because too many agencies were already using it. 🔐 That's not a security review. That's a hostage negotiation. Two things in this story should make every CISO and CIO uncomfortable:

🧩 Microsoft built its federal cloud on top of decades of legacy code that it apparently can't fully document itself
👮 "Digital escorts" often ex-military with minimal software engineering backgrounds are the firewall between Chinese engineers working on the system and classified U.S. networks 🤦🏻‍♂️

The scariest line in the whole ProPublica investigation isn't the "pile of shit" quote. It's this: FedRAMP determined that refusing authorization wasn't feasible because agencies were already using the product. Read that again. The security review process reached a conclusion based on sunk cost, not risk. Ex Post Facto Fallacy

If that logic holds, the compliance framework is just documentation theater. And right now, CISA is being hollowed out, so there are fewer people left to even run the theater.
