the police found shell casings from the shooting that have the words "deny" "defend" "depose" engraved on them

that's a reference to a book "Delay, Deny, Defend" by Jay Feinman which is explicitly about how insurance companies fuck people over

heres a cooking pro tip for you all: if you cut your vegetables they cook faster

I’m sick of being considered a radical for believing all humans deserve food, water, shelter, and basic dignity. I’m tired of being considered extreme for believing that we as a planet are capable of doing that for everyone. I’m just so fed up with being told I’m “unrealistic” when the available data even supports that such programs work.

I would much rather be considered radical because I believe we should convert all the asteroids in the solar system into rotating habitats and give everyone those basic needs both on earth and in space, and also that would solve most of our problems and I have a detailed 69 step plan for how we can get there within the next three hundred years which is why we should also work on biological immortality so we can all experience wait where are you going please come back I haven’t gotten to the part where-

I'm seeing a lot of people posting about CEOs and consequences, and I have to say I'm disappointed

Let's talk about boards of directors

More context:
It's estimated that a staggering 240 million PCs currently running Windows 10 aren't "capable" of upgrading to Windows 11.

As you know, those PCs can easily run any flavor of #Linux. It's a massive opportunity to get people away from Windows (and its increasing invasion of privacy), AND prevent literal tons of e-waste.

#Microsoft recently wrote that TPM 2.0 is a "a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows." This pretty much confirms it won't back down on its hardware requirements for Windows 11, an OS that is seriously struggling to gain new users (~35% of Windows users) after 3 years.

When October 2025 rolls around and support for Windows 10 ends, this will force tens of millions of people to unnecessarily buy new hardware.

#Linux community: We have work to do.

As I cycle through wind and rain to the supermarket, I doff my cap to those who just unlocked the Dutch People Carrying Shit On Their Bicycles, Sinterklaas Edition. School's out and the surprises made by the children - large cardboard/paper contraptions containing a small gift - have to get home.

Just typed "interfae" and it's my favourite typo right now: an interfae is a protocol that two daemons use to talk to each other.

man, looking at the sentiment on social media for the CEO Assassin, i do not think the NYPD are gonna get many genuine tips. like i've never seen such a one-sided outpouring of sentiment.

Does anyone know of some cheap linux-incompatible hardware i could use to practice writing kernel-drivers for?

Everything I have currently works oob with linux, or is made by nvidia (graphics is a bit too crazy for me for now)

The unilateral dunking on the recently killed pharma ceo is inspiring

Reminder: billionaires can, at any time, solve essentially all of the world’s problems by simply not hoarding an egregious amount of wealth. They choose not to. Every day.

I'm probably one of the most violence-adverse creatures I know and even I'm over here sipping tea quietly and nodding to myself going "Yup. It is a true objective fact that the people inflicting pain and suffering on everyone for profit have names and addresses. Mmhmmm. Indisputable fact"

Course for all we know this was something even more base than we think like "A business competitor did this". But we're all thinking the same thing and thinking it quite loudly.
