Didn't all the idiots vote for Trump because "he tells it like it is"? He's telling you that he's taking over the media, he's telling you that he started a war that he has no idea how to finish, he's telling you that he wants to rig elections, he's telling you that he hates veterans and reports any absolutely anyone whom he considers "not loyal", he's telling you that he's an autocrat. And yet somehow they still don't hear him?

When Congress recessed in December, it left three crucial cyber priorities in the air, including the confirmation of Sean Plankey's nomination as CISA Director.
Although Plankey's renomination announcement is good news, experts say Congress's delay in acting on cyber priorities damages the nation's ability to counter rising threats.
Check out my latest CSO piece, which looks at the setbacks created by Plankey's confirmation delay and the other key priorities l…

US cybersecurity weakened by congressional delays despite Plankey renomination
Sean Plankey’s renomination as CISA director offers some relief, but stalled legislation on cyber threat information sharing and state and local grants continues to strain the nation’s ability to counter rising cyber threats.

This shows that Trump is on Putin's side, not on the side of Europe and Ukraine. The whole Greenland affair diverts attention/ troops from Ukraine, all in Putin's interest.
""I think he's ready to make a deal," Trump said of the Russian president. "I think Ukraine is less ready to make a deal." Asked why U.S.-led negotiations had not yet resolved Europe's largest land conflict since World War Two, Trump responded: "Zelensky."

This whole "OpenClaw" thing has made me very angry and I wrote a bit about the why. It's not that "it's AI": It is the way that kind of project invalidates decades of work and care in free software. "AI" software isn't just careless, it is actively rejecting responsibility and care.

But a recent investigation by The Guardian suggests that some of these claims may be less robust than they first appeared.

Many years ago I was working with a friend to find a bug in a Makefile generator. We had a megabyte or so of Makefile we needed to examine. He was an emacs user. It took him minutes just to open the file. I was using sam. It took about a second for sam to load, and I found the problem before he'd even finished loading the file.
The speed of tools matters, and big files are common nowadays. Things should stay fast as their workload grows. That goes double for interactive tools.
By the way, it still takes me 30 seconds to log in to my bank. I wonder how long it will take when it's an LLM-generated landing page.
