Photography, trail running, knit/crochet, cats, Colorado Texpat, 💙🏳️‍🌈, reading, social justice, epic snacking : These are just a few things I will post about here. You can see more of my stuff at: https://iamjsterling.smugmug.com/

Everything being all AI IN YOUR FACE certainly tracks with the tech bro crowd and their idea of how consent works. It's like the dick pic you didn't ask for but keep getting over and over and over.

📌The so-called leadership of the Democratic Party are not fighters, they are appeasers, stunningly out of touch with their voters, and ignorant of world history. I suggest they google "Neville Chamberlain" to see what happens when you chum up violent, fascist regimes. This is really grotesque.

Another day, another (dozen) vichy Democrats shitting the bed. I can't wait to wipe the fucking floor with all of them in the midterms. They deserve the same amount (or more) of scorn and derision that their R colleagues do at this moment in time. What a total failure to rise to the occasion.

It should be legal to draw and quarter the fools at ID who *lie* and say "oooooo new episode" and it's just a new telling of a damn old story that we all know the outcome of. Special place in the boiler room of hell just for that.

There is not a FUCK YOU loud enough for these fucking people. They have been burned by Trump over and over and over and they just. keep. fucking. voting for him. Fuck them. Go bankrupt, you don't deserve a pot to piss in. Not a DIME of my tax money to them.

Republican Senator from Montana. Trump constantly hurts farmers and ranchers. Then Republicans make us pay them billions in welfare to bail them out.

And even though this deregulation bullshit has been utterly catastrophic for their bottom lines, I bet they'd vote for it all again. These regulations were here to save not only us but them from their own damn selves. But they were always too dense to see it. And I bet they still are.

Following major lobbying and campaign spending from the food industry, an important safety rule was delayed for years. Then came the cyclospora outbreak.

WTAF, Proton. I started computing on a Vic 20 using CP/M. I have used DOS cli and linux cli for decades. This is, single-handedly, the WORST and most cumbersome CLI I have ever seen. FFS shorten these commands - this is the most asinine thing I've ever seen someone give to a paying customer. 🤦‍♂️

If you suddenly add "New #AI assistant" to my subscription and automatically enable said ASSistant, I am not going to waste a moment of time trying to find how to turn it off. I am going to immediately vape my subscription. I'm five for five now and doing fine. Bye, FeliciAI

Why does Ubuntu apt need to tell me about upgrades that it won't do right now because of "phasing". Look, if you want to roll out things gradually, that's fine. But dangling shit above people and going "you can't have this" is a fucking DICK move. What asshat thought of this? Just don't say anything

Diarrhea in the lettuce, glass in the popsicles, E. Coli in the berries, screw worms in the beef, salmonella in the chicken & eggs, listeria in everything else. Man I love deregulation. Libertarianism is such a great philosophy.

I have been a Fedora person for decades, but switching to Fedora 44 has made me despise their distro with the fire of 10,000 suns. I am vaping that crap and running to Ubuntu as fast as I can get there. Red hats seem to enshittify everything they touch these days.
