Remember when everyone got mad about privacy issues, and Microsoft assured us that Recall would only be on ARM-based "copilot" computers?
Windows Recall will be mandatory on every Windows 11 computer after 24H2.
It might be time to switch to Linux.

Yes, it's a year old, but this is a reminder that Texas is run by Nazis. They aren't even trying to hid it anymore.

A percentage of the children who get measles will die.
We are deliberately allowing more children to get measles so that certain adults can pretend that they are more expert in medical science than medical researchers, and more expert in medicine than doctors.

Concentration camp. The accurate term would be "concentration camp."
I'm really sick and tired of the euphemisms used by the American media.

The reason the Western world is so fucked up right now is that the mainstream media normalizes the extremism of fascists by not even being willing to accurately describe what they are.

Is anyone else reminded of the NFT craze?
E.g. "Look! We're putting NFTs in video games! Think of all the microtransactions! You're going to love NFTs in video games!"

A lot has to change to facilitate this.
The transition from horses to cars involved building a lot of infrastructure and passing many laws (e.g. zoning laws make auto ownership a requirement to participate in society).
We can look at more advanced countries that have wider EV adoption and see what needs to happen if we want to join the 21st century.

It's not immigrants who are making your life harder.
It's not poor people.
It's not minorities.
It's not LGBT people.
All that other stuff is just to distract you from noticing the actual problem.

I am no longer certain that having copyrights at all is a good idea, but if we are going to have them, it should not be allowed for people to use copyrighted material to program AI without paying the copyright holder.

America isn't going to make it.
I apologize ahead of time for getting any pronouns wrong. If I do, I promise it's not on purpose, I'm just old and slow.I know I'm supposed to be civil, but I make no promises if I interact with any fascists, white supremacists, or other far-right savages. Expect me to say a lot about politics.I'm anticapitalist, but not crazy about Marx's solution.I'm Japanese, Norwegian, and Swedish. I like cooking and nerd stuff.
