Like Malaysia Airlines MH17 and Korean Air Lines 007, seems Azerbaijan Airlines J2-8243 may have been shot down. #russia just can’t stop hurting people.

Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashes in Kazakhstan. At least 30 likely killed
An Azerbaijani airliner with 67 people onboard has crashed near the Kazakhstani city of Aktau and an official says 38 people were killed and 29 survived. The Embraer 190 was en route from the Azerbaijani capital of Baku to the Russian city of Grozny in the North Caucasus when it was diverted and attempted an emergency landing near the city of Aktau. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that it was too soon to speculate on the reasons behind the crash, but said that the weather had forced the…

Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that. But the market has no money for development, the marketing tools have collapsed. Although both marketers and IT specialists are needed, there is no money. But everyone is hiding this."

«Денег нет, но все это скрывают». В России начались массовые сокращения айтишников
Нынешний год для российского ИТ-рынка заканчивается увольнениями.

Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.

I see that HomeAsaistent is way more powerful than HomeBridge. Can it also add its HA devices and stuff to the HomeKit Home app like HomeBridge can tho?

Integrating w/ features like Secure Boot & Windows Hello for Business, TPM 2.0 enhances security by ensuring that only verified software is executed & protecting confidential details.
It’s true that its implementation might require a change for your organization. Yet it represents an important step toward more effectively countering today’s intricate security challenges.

He wants a apology and says that she is a leftextreme trump hater.
Does this sound like kindergarden drama? Yes.
Is this person running the country? Yes.

Here's why having accounts on different apps is a good thing:
Instead of responding directly to the person who annoyed me, or even sub posting on the same platform, Ima make snarky comments over here where, likely, they will never see it.

I'm going to start calling straight white guys in positions that *I* don't think they're qualified for "legacy hires".

Sure, it might look like Air Force One, but I'm pretty sure it's an alien invasion mothership...
Better safe than sorry!

About those massive Russian losses of equipment near Kursk... looks like Ukraine released video of it.
Considering that Russia only has about 5-2 odds on that front, well... I don't think things are going all that well. Whatever gains they are making are just too expensive.

I am so tired of people trying to shove AI down my throat that anytime anyone talks about AI or adopts anything using it or anything like that I will just go on a ten minute tangent about how massive companies suck and AI is not even remotely the future. You did this to me, OpenAI/Microsoft/Apple/<insert other massive company here>.
