it is, at long last, the Year of Linux on the Desktop. www.techspot.com/news/113326-...

Linux just cracked 10% desktop usage in North America, but no one's sure why

The shift stands out because the change was not gradual but abrupt. Linux's rise came largely at Windows' expense, while macOS saw only limited movement over the...

Broke: Star Trek says humans will abandon all religion in the future. Woke: Dune says religion will continue to be both a source of strength and a tool of control for oppressed peoples. Bespoke: Babylon 5 says we'll get MORE religions, and Jews will have to sort out what alien foods are kosher.

is that good?

Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

mamdani's social media: NYC, today is a monumental day. I've slain Gorlax the Spurious, the beast who lived in the sewers and ate children and small dogs. every conservative thinkpiece article: Slaying Gorlax the Spurious might *sound* appealing, but what if you don't have children or small dogs?

Can't get numb to this stuff. Pursuing a case that you know lacks PC, getting an indictment via grand jury misconduct, and doing so for corrupt purposes coming directly from the president. There's not much a prosecutor can do that's worse than this.

To be very clear, extrajudiciously killing people you suspect are drug traffickers is *also* murder

CNN@cnn.com · 2d ago

The US military’s strikes on alleged drug boats have likely illegally killed “individuals who are not involved in narcotrafficking,” Sen. Tim Kaine told the White House, following “a careful review” of classified information he has seen so far.

If you want to tune out and relax after a long day, you might turn to social media, online shopping or playing games on your phone. But a new study suggests that these activities might actually stress you out more.

the same covid-testing "if we eliminate the means of reporting, the metrics can't be bad!" tactic, but applied to military harassment reporting? What could possibly go wrong.

I really need the people supposedly in opposition to the Republicans to either meaningfully hold them accountable for their naked power grabs— like remove them from power & possibly prosecute them— or start fighting on the same level as them, & I increasingly don't care which, *Which Is A Bad Thing*

The Missouri SoS dragged out his office's examination of the veto referendum (of the GOP gerrymander) for most of 2026 to ensure he can run out the clock; and finally declared today, on the deadline by which he had to act, that he thinks the veto referendum is entirely unconstitutional.
