50% of the way there on my brothers fund raiser, after his life insurance claim was denied — thanks to those who helped and spread the word. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-secure-my-familys-future-during-my-battle-with-stage-4?attribution_id=sl:344b7570-4e9d-4850-9689-08f015203bd9&ts=1750936594&utm_campaign=pd_ss_icons&utm_content=amp13_t1-amp14_t2&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

"It's the makeup"
Ok here's one without makeup

"Well, you're still a man"
Just fucking start there? Y'all gonna pull something moving those goalposts 🙄

Using Windows these days feels like I'm walking through a major airport. Its bright and glossy, there's ads everywhere, there's random noises and shit getting in your way, the signage is confusing and sometimes the pictorials make no sense, random announcements you can't understand, some of the design aesthetics are new, and some still stuck in the 00s.

Good.

I’m absolutely against #GenAI. I do think that machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks have a place in this world, but what most people mean when they say AI is complete garbage.

The AI Backlash Keeps Growing Stronger

As generative artificial intelligence tools continue to proliferate, pushback against the technology and its negative impacts grows stronger.

Man, this seems really bad.

But at least our government isn’t pulling back on the #cybersecurity we need to protect this information!

Whew!

Leaders from countries all over the world are starting to look at Free and Open Source Software options to move their local governments and cities away from the proprietary lock that American tech companies have on them. They no longer want to have to rely on America. Personally, as a Free and Open Source Software advocate, I love to see this. Many of us do. But a question for Trump supporters: How the fuck is this making America Great Again?

I know that I'm preaching to the choir, but Trump supporters are absolute fools.
