6. “But US retaliation!!” − Oh honey, the US under MAGA control is coming for you regardless of what you do. If anything, it seems that being compliant •increases• the odds of this administration targeting you. Who was is who said that if a bully threatens to punch you, and you do what they say, and then punch you anyway, then you can stop doing what they say?

"However, if you scoff at the idea that one should have any ethical boundaries at all, and think that there’s no reason to care about the overall utilitarian impact of this technology, that it’s worth using no matter what else it does as long as it makes you 5% better at your job, that’s sociopath behavior."

Will You Watch the Super Bowl?
I’ve loved watching football at every level, from fifth-grade games to college stadiums and the NFL. When it comes to the Super Bowl, family history, favorite teams, and personal memories all shape who I root for—and why I always tune in.

This is particularly bad in #Italy, where #WhatsApp is the default means of communication. In other countries I've lived in at least they consider alternatives. In Italy people don't even ask you if you have an account before adding you in school parent groups or contacting you for work over WhatsApp.

Why people don’t demand data privacy – even as governments and corporations collect more personal information
How people talk about data privacy can overcome – or reinforce – their skepticism that things can change.

I don't get people with their "Friday evening out" or "night life" ideas. I mean, what's there to live when it's dark outside? You can live when it's daylight and you can go to a forest or something, but when it's dark, all you can do is either work or sleep.

Oil is the absolute enemy, and that should be completely clear at this point. Advocate hard for a Dutch style traffic plan and Dutch bike infrastructure. Push hard for mass transit. Fight car infrastructure with everything you can. Abolish free parking.
Every dollar you spend on gas, every dollar that goes to roads and free parking, is a dollar that will be spent murdering civilians to steal their oil.
Free parking is the most important subsidy to car culture. The more expensive you can make parking, the fewer cars will be on the road, the safer cities will be, and the less money will be available for the gang of thieves directing the military.

It's like: "what if Incredible Machine, but Ballionaire" - you randomly get access to a bunch of items that each have their own mechanics and trigger/play off each other, which you build out on a grid - but the grid itself can be manipulated by the items. Some of the interactions are absolutely wild.

RUTTE criticizes RUSSIA: are you REALLY ready for a CEASEFIRE? #shorts: https://benborges.xyz/2026/02/03/rutte-criticizes-russia-are-you.html

If you reply to me and expect an answer, maybe don't call what I said a "bad faith argument".
What do you want me to say?
"Yes, I posted this to specifically upset you personally even though I didn't actually mean it!"
Or, you know, maybe if it makes you feel angry—figure out why.
Anger is an emotion that just tells you something might be wrong. You should take it as sign to think about why you have the feeling. It might be that there is something the matter with your beliefs or what you're doing.

If you are an anti-fascist, you are against petroleum. Petroleum funds fascism globally. It is at the heart of the military industrial complex driving global imperialism, from both the US and Russia. Motonormitivity is fascist, both in it's elitist roots and in it's ties to historical fascism (Hitler hated bikes, just on principle). Oil is militarism.
Oil is the dominant resource which drives war, both in terms of it being the primary spoil wars are fought over and in terms of fueling the military vehicles and weapons that carry out those wars. Practically every war since (and including) WWII has been over oil. Genocides are carried out to secure oil. Gaza is over oil, in more ways than one.
Oil is the absolute enemy, and AI is simply an extension of that: an attempt to atomize us so we can't resist the oil-centric global order, one last grasp at the control over our lives oil has given to those whose power is now threatened by a solar punk future.
"I haven't written for a few weeks now. As I write the closing chapter and begin rewriting previous sections, everything feels both more distant and more immediate. The working title [Kairos] has only continued to feel more and more resonant, both during the writing and during my pause."
Now is the time to resist by making something different, by creating a world fundamentally opposed to these systems of oppression.
This is the last in my Kairos series. From here on out I'll be editing to try and make it more of a book than a series of posts. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far. All editing is welcome (typos, spell checks, questions and challenges). Between ADHD and dyslexia, it's always hard for my brain to notice mistakes in my own text so I always appreciate the support of those who can.

I've had it with Windows and ascended to the sunlit uplands of Linux, where the trees heave with open-source fruits and men with large beards grep things

I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop
Now if you don't mind I'm going to delete the root folder and see what happens.

VILA: Stay here? Alone? [to himself] I hope. It's getting dark.
[Cally's cabin. Cally is lying on the bed.] Voice: Cally? Cally, are you listening to me? I know you can hear me now, fully. You heard only a suggestion of my voice before, yet you responded. You obeyed me almost from the beginning, Cally. A telepath. Rare. A wonderful find, wonderfully vulnerable. [Vision of Cally in the green robes, kneeling.] Cally, you've been so lon…

Lazypost, is there a good tool to fix (as much as possible) somewhat broken audio from a CD that has some read errors (I've fixed surface of CD and read with EAC to extract as much info as possible, you can hear everything but it sounds a bit like a crackling record).
I am not looking for CD reading software (EAC already spent 70 hours on extracting the one track I'm interested in).
I am looking for fixing errors in a ripped lossless audio track, for example through interpolation and/or specifically tuned ML algorithms.
If helpful, I have access to Logic Pro and to Adobe tools.
(Please only recommend software you personally have used and that you like, thank you.)

You wanna know the difference? You already know who you would want with you when you’re faced with a fascist in a dark alley. Unless, of course, that’s the one character you identify with most in this po…
