nixCraft 🐧AI batshit crazy Microsoft promised that it will tone down AI in Win11 and its ecosystem. Instead they found a novel way. Microsoft isn't removing Copilot from Windows 11, it's just renaming it and hiding it. It is getting rid of Copilot with resulted into terms like Midoslop and AI Slop in the OS. https://www.neowin.net/opinions/microsoft-isnt-removing-copilot-from-windows-11-its-just-renaming-it/

In the age of stupid LLMs and social media like TikTok or Insta this move is very important to teach kids fundamentals that can last longer than any tech bro's bullshit apps ever will. Well done, Swedish government.
Swedish government announced that the country’s schools would be going back to basics, emphasizing skills such as reading and writing, particularly in early grades. After mostly being sidelined, physical books are now being reintroduced into classrooms, and students are learning to write the old-fashioned way: by hand, with a pencil or pen, on sheets of paper. The Swedish government also plans to make schools cellphone-free throughout the country https://undark.org/2026/04/01/sweden-schools-books/
Meta told to pay $375m for misleading users over child safety https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cql75dn07n2o
A jury found that Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, was liable for the way in which its platforms endangered children and exposed them to sexually explicit material and contact with sexual predators.
This is the same company behind age verification lobbying effort to protect child but in reality it is the biggest offender out there. How ironic?
checking the BBC homepage has been a curse since COVID days. not a single day goes by without bad news. it feels like the whole decade is jinxed. i'm actually exhausted. does any one else feel like this?
it is going to snap one way or other. that is all i'm saying.
Just like 2008 had "Subprime Mortgages (or "Dot Com" crash) that nobody understood, 2026 has "Circular AI Revenue" deals. Ex: Microsoft gives money to OpenAI, who gives it back to Microsoft for Azure credits, which Microsoft then reports as "AI Growth".
Microsoft and Nvidia fund AI startups that buy their own tech back to report "growth." With $600b burning in data centers in 2026 alone but no real revenue to back it up.
If that loop snaps, the "fuck up" will be massive.
At top of your bash script add this after `#!/bin/bash` line to aborts the script immediately and add robustness to your script
```
set -euo pipefail
```
Use the following to trap error and show line number where your script failed to debut at run time or development time:
```
_failed() {
echo "$0 - Script failed at line $1"
}
# Trap the ERR
trap '_failed $LINENO' ERR
```
See `man bash` or `help set` for more.
rethinkdnsThe presentation we gave to the Network Devroom on Rethink's architecture is up: https://video.fosdem.org/2026/h1302/NPGR8K-boring_filter_the_anatomy_of_a_network_sandbox_for_android.av1.webm
This is why I share links to sites directly instead of just posting screenshots. The web was built for links a vast system of interlinked hypertext documents and resources. If you don't link to the original source, there is no 'WWW' left. Now we have a bunch of social network apps, and some are so toxic that you have to warn women and kids not to post their pics because of those apps that undress them without consent. It shows just how dangerous this side of AI has become.
