Sr. Site Reliability Engineer; the myth says I worked for Twitter. Transplanted from Chile to the U.S.A. Por La Razón o La Fuerza. Rotten to the core. I enjoy collecting, repairing, and developing new hardware for Atari computers.
I already want to disassemble it. 😁

I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” McConnell wrote in a statement. nbcnews.to/4h6US9V
Let’s find and release the video of the threesome Donald Trump set up for Robert Kraft at a massage parlor outside of Mar-a-Lago that was covered up to protect a rich corrupt MAGA Texas Republican POS. #BlueWaveIn50Days
Of all the weird devices I saw this weekend, the weirdest wasn't at #vcfmw, but in my room: a TV embedded behind the bathroom mirror! And it wasn't even in front of the toilet. 😁
You learn a lot about flying toasters and You Don't Know Jack when you read "Berkeley Systems" as "systems running Berkeley UNIX" (they are not the same). 😆 #vcfmw
Chuck Peddle pitched the 6502 at WESCON 1975 for $25. The 6800 cost $175. Motorola reps stood in the aisles trying to convince engineers the cheap chip couldn't work. It worked. Within two years it was in the Apple II, the PET, and the Atari VCS. Price disruption before anyone had a word for it.
Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 2mo agoNew: ICE plans to spend millions of dollars on Boston Dynamics dog robots. ICE says this is to improve "officer safety." The robots can open doors, pick up objects, have 360 cameras, infrared vision, etc. Boston Dynamics didn't respond to question on its stance on ICE www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...

This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.
A Terrible Thing Happened to My Family
Even in today's climate, there should be one fundamental principle everyone respects: whatever you think about someone in politics, you leave their kids alone.

We are back in the lab and have just about recovered from backfilling all of our trenches up at the Battle of Bunker Hill redoubt excavation! 💪 This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. (1/4)

SpaceX’s IPO Filing Shows Elon’s Twitter ‘Business Genius’ Was A Fantasy
Elon Musk, business genius. When Elon Musk announced his plans to buy Twitter, some of his billionaire friends rushed to text him to say they'd throw whatever money they wanted into the deal. Larry Ellison casually offered "a billion... or whatever you recommend." Marc Andreessen offered $250 million, no questions asked. This all came out in the lawsuit when Musk tried to back out of the deal:

You, an idiot: "This is why we need gun control." Trump, a genius: "This is why we need a ballroom."
Holy crap, guys. His approval rating is down 300%.
William Adler@williamadler78.bsky.social · 6mo agoIs this low? It seems low
it’s crazy that you can be the president and be like “i’m the messiah and i am going to bomb and murder children” and tens of millions of people who ostensibly subscribe to a religion that say doing both of those things is bad will snort their approval like the little hogs they are
Could we do a Truman Show situation where we build a fake Oval Office where he watches AI created fake news about himself and let him believe he's still president and tweet the hours away and meanwhile we can impeach him and move on...I'm not sure he'd know the difference
Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.
