I imagine this is why MS is finally backtracking a bit on the aggressive pushing of AI in every app. They’re doing Clippy all over again, but OS-wide this time.

Just impressive how hard they managed to screw the pooch here. Have they forgotten that every other Windows release is universally hated? They had a good thing going until they discontinued Windows 10 before Windows 12 was out. Now they’ll probably need to rush out another version, because the name Windows 11 is forever tainted.

I can’t speak to the sell-off, but I have a lot less faith in the USD’s future as de facto world currency now than I had two years ago. Trump is antagonizing everyone, and we elected him twice, so they know it wasn’t a fluke.

I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if the Euro gradually takes over as world currency within the next couple of decades.

Hmm, that might actually be part of the reason for the sell-off. With the tariffs, China is shifting focus to other markets than the US.

We’re going to be saying that a lot.

In this case “Doomer” is probably an alternate word for Gen Z. They are sometimes called the doomer generation.

It’s also similar in that it’s not safe for the parents to go to work either.

Seattle schools recently went under lockdown because ICE was spotted in the area. They’re treated like any other potential active shooter.

S and X were only 3% of their sales combined according to the article. Discontinuing them makes financial sense.

Usually, yes. But in some movies they drive the plot. The sex scenes in A Somewhat Gentle Man (2010) are hilarious, help establish the character, and are a pretty challenging wank.

The slow-motion train wreck will continue for quite some time.

Uh, it’s not very hard to find a middle class dude with a tech job who thinks people like him could pay more taxes. If you can afford owning a place to live in a coastal city these days, you are a millionaire. You’re also arguably middle class.

“Millionaire” is a pointless label these days. $10M is what we’re used to thinking of as a millionaire, adjusted for inflation. $1M is just a dude who could swing both a 401k and a down payment.

Depending on how the question was phrased, they could be Republicans who registered Democrat to vote in Democrat primaries.

They’re happy that brown and/or LGBT people are being hunted in the streets.

Or, if you’re feeling generous, they’re not paying attention at all, but their pastor told them that everything is better when the president has an R next to their name.

My hope is that their sample skews boomer and is not representative, but then again people who actually show up to vote also skews boomer.

The Nobel Committee is appointed by the government and mostly consists of retired politicians, so the lines are a little blurred.

Also not the first time someone blames Norway for something the Nobel Committee did. China was butthurt for a decade after Liu Xiaobo got the prize, and removed visa waivers for Norwegian citizens as well as restrict trade.

/dev/md127 is probably a raid 1 from a previous installation. Assuming you don’t need the data on it, you can either delete or ignore it.

I’m not familiar with this exact installer, but I have installed Debian a bunch before. Judging by what I’m seeing here, you probably need to do a bit of manual labor. I’m guessing you first create partition tables (usually gpt), then raid partitions, then combine them into a raid, and maybe then put lvm on top of that again, and finally a filesystem. If you’re planning to go the lvm route you probably want to create a smaller raid on the start of the disk for /boot (250-500MB should suffice) separate from the lvm, because last I checked you can’t boot from an lvm volume.

His announcement that he was running trailed off in a racist rant, while he was riding an escalator for some reason.

Lots of things lead to increased risk of birth defects, like having children after the age of 30. I thought it was pretty well known that the risks associated with inbreeding drops off pretty sharply at the cousin level? At that point I think the appropriate reaction is social stigma, but not legal ramifications.

I imagine they do when training in Norway at least, but the whole point of those exercises is to make them better at dealing with winter warfare. The Norwegians already know how to dress for the cold, so it’s not exactly an even pairing. Not sure the results would be the same if they did the same exercise in Texas heat.

Nah, they’re not telling him outright what to do, that wouldn’t work. He’s very poor at doing what he’s told. They are manipulating him constantly though.

He’s in government, but he’s not governing.
