Reading through the proposal Iran put out, it sounds like Trump's surrendered? 1- Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon - You know Israel won't let that happen 2- America's commitment not t

Honestly, Executive Orders in general are dysfunctional cludge. I feel less bad about things like DACA, since that's trying to fix something broken instead of wrecking things for no useful reason (or acting to puff up a sick ego) ...

I don't believe Trump's wacko EOs are binding law. Like, the Gulf of Mexico is still the Gulf of Mexico. The DoD is still the DoD. No reason to give the fascist LARPers the respect. Just don't give the poor clerk forced to

Hey my encyclopedia had yearly updates through 2008!! :D But seriously, its actually nicer... and the equations on the back covers don't randomly change to crap every fourth time you open the book.

You know, I've been investing in reference books since Google started failing to accurately report basic equations and constants. It's kinda nice actually.

DDG is a mediocre search engine. A mediocre search engine is still much better than whatever Google's become. Honestly, the answer is so often a little toy search like Marginalia or going straight to the website in question now, its f

No, its going to give the CEO and some shareholders a few billion and destroy eBay. Because we can't have nice things. I am so painfully sick of this.

I was just thinking how nice it was to still get used stuff on eBay and now Mr. McMemeStock is going to kill it to extract a few billion for himself. Yay.

I mean when I needed to look up something I used to just google it. Now, with the advent of LLMs I've had to pull out my old textbooks from storage.

"Good People" suddenly going all in on racist rants and hard-core misogyny is never going to stop being disturbing. Some of them taught me how to behave!? Did they just not believe any of those things? MAGA is a horrifying moveme

Alex Jones is a bit much, yathink? They're an amoral monopolistic megacorp that should have been broken up a year ago. They are performing the ritual of maximalist offensive position -> half-hearted walk back to a worse status quo.

I suppose the question is, who is actually willing to believe Google is going to deal in Good Faith. Why would anyone ever even begin to think that?

Interesting, I've mostly heard it referring to individuals like Navalny or the mayor of Istanbul. I suppose it makes sense for it to refer to any random political critter.

Well, I can see what heinous thing is going to be ruining my day in 5 years. Attestation, the thing we're going to be spending the next forever trying to get out of phones, now in your kernel.
