Dan GillmorMicrosoft will soon cut off Windows 10 security updates, and says "up yours" to people with (somewhat) older computers who would happily use Windows 11, but now will be blocked
Intel and AMD appreciate this very much.
If you aren't ready to put your older but working-fine computer in a landfill, and further pollute the planet, you have a better option:
It's easier than ever to install and use Ubuntu or Mint or some other Linux system.

@ipg People with above average computer experience but not enough to fully diagnose problems proceeding to "optimize" their system by disabling random background services that they don't think they need
Alice Averlongš³ļøāā§ļøIt's gonna be real annoying to be a programmer once we've invented time travel, what with the future selves showing up all the time demanding answers.
Mainly about what the code does, how it works, why did you do it this way, why is this breaking this way, help me debug it, and so on.
Iām grateful for the fediverse. I canāt look back at twitter anymore. Bluesky is more tolerable but also full of crypto AI bros.
Honestly social media as a whole is getting worse and worse.
I deleted twitter. Everything is just wall to wall propaganda now and āLibs of TikTokā screeching like a banshee at things I know she knows isnāt true but is propaganda so it works for her.

Brian VastagHere's my experience with Medicare, which is single-payer health insurance in the US for seniors and disabled people: I got diagnosed with a condition that has expensive immunotherapy on the Medicare formulary as the first-line treatment.
My doc prescribed it and Medicare pays for it.
That's it.
The propaganda against Medicare is so strong because UHC and the like make tens of billions of dollars denying care like mine.

Steve StrezaIt really cannot be overstated enough: "For-profit health insurance" is fundamentally incompatible with keeping people healthy. UnitedHealthcare did not deny 1 out of every 3 claims because they thought they weren't medically valuable, they did it because they knew they could get away with it. The entire system cannot ever provide health as a meaningful outcome. It must be eliminated and replaced with taxation and a single-payer institution built on care, not resource hoarding.
