Comment Wow (Score 1) 4

"Powered by the upcoming Linux 7.3 kernel series, Ubuntu 26.10 ships with the latest GNOME 51 desktop environment, TPM-backed full disk encryption (FDE) support on computers without a hardware root of trust, updated Settings to show whether a computer is certified for Ubuntu, and 100% Rust coreutils."

That's an impressive list of anti-features. I'll be sure to avoid it right away.

Comment Panic behind closed doors (Score 1) 15

I've heard from a guy involved in the bond market thst the economy is in major recession outside of the Mag7 and AI stocks.

Apparently secondary markets, insurance reinvestments, private credit, pension funds - they're so heavy in AI stocks to just beat inflation that when Sam said tokens aren't selling fast enough with the decreasing cost of generating them to turn a profit they started bracing for an Everything Crash.

Like insurance companies failing, CRE going into foreclosure, pension funds defaulting, bond-issuing companies liquidating equity to meet obligations, etc.

Treasury would have to hyperinflate to bail them all out, transferring massive wealth from the People to the Corporations, yet again.

That's gonna get spicy and probably stabby.

Comment This is fucking bullshit (Score 1) 58

I use a Windows machine with 16GB and even when Windows claims much of it is free, it still chokes with a bunch of disk activity when I use little used functions even of applications I'm actively using. I conclude that Windows is paging even when it doesn't have to, and then having to reload those pages later. This is sloppy bullshit because they could copy those pages to disk and not actually reallocate until it's necessary.

Comment Re:Does it matter if the FCC has the power to end? (Score 1) 101

Congress has exercised Inherent Contempt powers as recently as a hundred years ago but they turned the Congressional Jail into a speakeasy/conference room which roughly reflects their sense of duty.

Which, to your point, they now refer the DoJ to the DoJ for prosecution.

But also that illustrates why prior Congresses held the power to be essential.

It would have been grand if "The Dow, the Dow is over fifty thousand!" landed Bill Barbie in jail until she had time to think abour her duty to respond truthfully.

I've reminded Paul about his duty but they're all weak on such matters.

If only Alan Watts had known about the biological processes tied to the Schumann Resonance, 1G of gravity, and the Circadian Rhythm ... he would have come to the same conclusions.

Deep Space explorers are going to have to create mini Earths if they want to stay healthy.

This is very disappointing to the Platonists and Transhumanists.

about Uber itself here. But as some minor trivia about Manchester: the "Man" comes from "Mamm", meaning "breast", referencing a small breast-shaped hill that used to be located in what's now the Castlewood district (it's since been lost).

The name of the city basically means "Tit Fort".
