nixCraft 🐧Outside the tech world, everyone talks about public figures like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Sam Altman, and others. However, those in IT or with CS background know that people like Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Alan Turing, researchers and mathematician are the ones who truly built this industry. Sadly, they don't get enough credit or movies. People these days worship grifters and I think it is really sad.

Randahl FinkWith territorial threats from both Russia and the United States, The Kingdom of Denmark buys another 130 armored personnel vehicles from Finish manufacturer Patria.
Let us hope the American people stops the mad man Donald Trump, so we can use these vehicles against the Russians instead of sending them to Greenland.
This order comes after Denmark already ordered 115 CV9935 infantry fighting vehicles from Sweden in December.

Media. “Keep in mind, The news media are not independent; they are sort of a bulletin board and public relations firm for the ruling class-the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and“ tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn’t want you know something, it won’t be on the news. Period.. “

Jeff JarvisMy fellow citizens: It is all the more critical that we unite behind Joe Biden and elect a Democratic Senate and House to, I hope, reform the Court but mostly to prevent an immune king--in Sotomayor's word--from gaining power. Quit the carping. Ignore The New York Times. Get to work.

BREAKING: The grand jury charged 19 individuals—including Trump, Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani—with 41 total felony counts including a RICO violation
Under Georgia law, bail can only be granted if the defendant can prove they poses no risk of intimidating witnesses or obstructing justice
(Lol)
AND the Governor of Georgia does not have the power to pardon criminals
(Also lol)
I am Hillary Clinton’s unbridled glee.

The War on Cars“We lost our bus service.... That contributed to the growing traffic which got worse as housing pressures pushed people out of Oxford into villages. Then came the rise in delivery drivers, the worst offenders for speeding. Now the idea of children being out on this street is sadly inconceivable.”
