"No one running a so-called Home edition of Windows should be forced to manually edit the registry or run PowerShell scripts to manage updates or turn off features they don't want to use. Those users shouldn't have their files moved to OneDrive without their informed consent. If they choose an alternative browser or search engine, that choice should be respected."

Hitting 1 billion monthly active users should be cause for celebration in Redmond. These days, though, it feels like every one of those users is complaining. Does Microsoft have what it takes to address the many pain points in Windows 11?Ed Bott (ZDNET)

A person just walked by in sturdy shoes, a face mask, and a backpack with a protest sign sticking up out of the back. They walked with purpose and resolve (heading toward the nearby transit station to get downtown, I assume), and it was all I could do not to run out and thank them for protesting.
Thanks again, a million times over, to everyone out there showing up, on behalf of those of us who can't do that right now. 💜
Ah. Anti ICE Protest in downtown Santa Cruz.
So I went and found me a Police Officer and asked if ICE was in town. He *emphatically* told me "No".
I'mma chalk that up as a Win.

Undiagnosed neuro-divergence is like playing a video game on the hardest settings, whilst everyone else is gaslighting you by saying it's on the easy mode.
When you are diagnosed (even self diagnosed) it's like realising you are on the hard setting, it doesn't make the game any easier... But you know you're going to struggle and can find ways to work around the problems to better suit your abilities.
I do love going through job application submissions where 700 candidates replied with the exact same sentence on one of the entry questions.
Using AI tools to email blast all job postings doesn't increase your chances, it makes you look lazy and doesn't make your resume stand out.
The mediocrity machine is so good at giving you the illusion of efficiency
AI is making YOU more efficient. That's 700 potential candidates instantly eliminated from consideration.
And I, for one, am glad I won't be working with any of them.
Australia is BURNING
Tuesday’s temperatures reached record-breaking levels in Victoria—49°C—forcing more than 1,000 people to evacuate due to extreme fire danger and leaving thousands of animals without food, water, shelter, or safety. The situation is also dire in New South Wales, with catastrophic temperatures forecast to hit wildlife hard, especially flying foxes whose population is decimated.
You will probably hear nothing about this on the news, but it's happening
