Like all the rest of the nerds, I did a bit of tech support on family computers.
They're all popping up windows from scam virus scanners lying that subscriptions need to be renewed or machines are unprotected. People don't know how to remove these things. Luckily they also don't really know how to pay the subscription.
Their phones are updating on them. Changing where buttons used to be. Removing options. Forcing people to register to use they things they have been doing for years.
They don't know how to register.
Things pop up asking for passwords and they have no idea who is asking or which password to use.
I tell them that I don't really understand why they keep using Windows now it is so shitty and awful. They say they don't know how to use anything else. The fact they don't really know how to use windows either doesn't seem to register.
The tech corporations have given up completely on being user friendly. They are all deliberately user hostile and exploitative now.
Corporate tech is terrible. The industry is failing it's users, abusing them. People don't even know there is any other way. They are just giving up on achieving their tasks until someone can fix the pop-ups and subscription boxes and passwords and 2fa for them.
Tech sucks now. Sucks hard.

I have some critiques of "Fighting in the Streets." The last chapter would get you killed. The coms advice are absolutely terrible, which makes me question other elements of the book. But it does provide a framework for thinking about what a militant resistance looks like, and what framework needs to exist to make it possible.
It's a short read, and worth it for the thought experiment. You can read TM 31-210 all you want, but it won't do anything for you without the social framework that makes more than one attack possible. It always comes back to community building, even if (especially if) you're wanting to make sure militant resistance is an option on the table.

It’s funny how many people have no idea how to buy used stuff for non-inflated prices.
Here’s some tips to get you started (for eBay):
1. The first thing about eBay is that most things listed as “buy now” are overpriced—otherwise someone else would have bought it already. You have to always look at sold listings to see what things are actually worth.
2. Use saved searches specifically limited in price and distance.
3. Always sort by newly listed for “Buy Now” and ending soonest for auctions.
4. Look for older buy now listings and make offers. The older the listing the lower you offer. Some tools like flippah.net show you the listed date directly without having to dig deep on the eBay website. You can make offers even when the button isn’t there, just send a message.
5. Never buy anything from sellers with 0 feedback or less than a 98% or so rating.
A general thing to remember is that unless you buy new stuff or see a listing from a store (some categories have a lot of stores, e.g. cameras) you’re likely to deal directly with a private seller and a human being. Be polite and respectful but don’t be afraid to say no. Don’t make insulting offers.

From Pig Tales by Marie Darrieussecq

There was no longer anything to keep me in the city, among people. If I hadn't been so heavy, I could have flown away like the birds.

But my rump, my breasts, all that flesh went with me everywhere. Not only did my spine ache, my chest hurt, too. I didn't want to lift up my dress to check on my spots, and my new breast pulled painfully beneath the skin, the way they do at puberty. I bent forward, and all that suffering disappeared. My dress stuck out stiffly around me, smelling richly of fresh…
I was convinced that my entire body was affected by some kind of freakish retention of blood. My complexion was turning ruddy, and the customers gradually fell into barnyard ways with me. Too engrossed in themselves and their pleasure, they never noticed a thing, but their new inclinations turned the massage table into a sort of haystack out in a field.

Some of the clients began to bray, others

grunted like pigs, and little by little, most

of them wound up on all fours. I told myself

I'm building webkit-gtk right now. It's one of these messy packages where a few source files need a lot of memory to compile, and ninja can randomly order jobs so that all of them suddenly start compiling simultaneously. So to keep things going smoothly without OOM-ing, I've been dynamically adjusting the available job count via steve the #jobserver.
While doing that, I've noticed that ninja isn't taking new jobs immediately after I increased the job count. So I've started debugging steve, and couldn't find out anything wrong with it. Finally, I've looked into ninja and realized how lazy their code is.
So, there are two main approaches to acquiring job tokens. Either you do blocking reads, and therefore wait for a token to become available, or you use polling to get noticed when it becomes available. Ninja instead does non-blocking reads, and if there are no more tokens available… it waits till one of its own jobs finish.
This roughly means that as other processes release tokens, ninja won't take them until one of its own jobs finish. And if ninja didn't manage to acquire any job tokens to begin with, it is just running a single process via implicit slot, and that process finishing provides it with the only chance to acquire additional tokens. So realistically speaking, as long as there are other build jobs running in parallel, ninja is going to need to be incredibly lucky to ever get a job token, since all other processes will grab the available tokens immediately.
This isn't something that steve can fix.

According to the Daily Beast,
Donald Trump sets up camp in the family living quarters
and Melania is sequestered to a tower, kind of like a modern-day Rapunzel

Back in 1992 or so there was a cat that would hang around the Fang Gang House in Madison and I called the cat "Claude" (because it's like "Clawed") and Milt call the cat "Mr. Roarke" but I thought that was a dumb name so I made a trading card for the cat with the name "Claude" on it.
I'll never name anything Claude (or "Clawed") again.

You should block every single account who says stuff like "nothing can be done".
These people are either plants/bots or just outright defeatist—they can't and won't contribute anything valuable and should be shunned.

When looking at what the western AI companies are doing my current view is:
- OpenAI is actively evil. There's no morals or anything. Just scamers trying anything to amass power and money
- Anthropic is has sniffed so much of its own farts that most of what they are doing is just writing fan fiction for their own models. They are not evil as much as they just need psychological help
- Mistral is yelling a lot of "we are European" which nobody hears cause who give…

My package arrived!

Photo of a fluffy mostly white and some black cat sleeping in a square shape in a square box inside a larger box. I think the kitty's head is at the bottom left, but its hard to be sure with cats. It looks more like packaged floof than anything else.

The endgame is simple: Satisfy #Trump's racist constituents.
They literally don't care about anything else. Not healthcare, not groceries, not even taxes.

It’s sometimes said that presidents pivot toward foreign policy in their second terms.
Unburdened by the prospect of having to face voters again, and sometimes opposed by a hostile Congress, presidents often go overseas in search of a legacy. 
If the past week or so is anything to go by, Donald Trump is doing the same.
My colleagues Shelby Holliday and Lara Seligman reported exclusively Tuesday that a large number of U.S. troops and special-operations aircraft have deployed…

Hi! I'm Koffietje! (Not very original, might change that later.)
Obviously, I'm a big fan of coffee! Generally black, over-steeped in a French press. But lately I've been messing around with the Moka pot.
I'm also big on Linux. My daily driver is Fedora, which seems to work incredibly well on my computers. I'm also curious about ARM & RISC-V, and have dipped my toes into BSD. Always trying to learn more, and currently I'm working on my Bash skills, tryi…

An image of the terminal command line (Cool Retro Term) showing the following text:
Hi, I'm Koffietje! Linux & BSD guy, big
computer nerd, lover of non-fiction
books, and enjoyer of the occasional
(retro) game.

I'm friendly, so feel free to reach out
about anything!

And lastly, I hope you have a great
day!

It's encased in an ASCII text box, spoken from an ASCII Art cow (cowsay).

The terminal has a vintage/retro effect, and the main color is amber over a brown background.

(This means all goods and services).

A few remarks on "AI" usage and the narrative surrounding it. I think it's about the difference between disconnected creating and embodied making.

Trump’s claim of forthcoming deal with Nato over Greenland is ‘not real’
Sascha Faxe, a member of Denmark’s parliament,
has said that the deal Donald Trump claims to have struck with Nato over Greenland is “not real”.
“The thing is, there can’t be a deal without having Greenland as part of the negotiations, first of all,” Faxe said.
She went on to reference earlier comments from Aaja Chemnitz Larsen, a Greenlandic member of the Danish parliament, saying:

Half the street corners around Minneapolis have people
— from every walk of life, including republicans
— standing guard to watch for suspicious vehicles,
which are reported to a robust and entirely decentralized network that
tracks ICE vehicles
and mobilizes responders.
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years.
I have never seen anything approaching this scale.
Minneapolis is not accepting what’s happening here.
