The most up to date (according to Repology) Linux distro T2 Linux (https://t2linux.com/) will come out with a prosumer image before the end of this year. It will be KDE based and Rene Rebe and his team are doing a total cleanup of the code. Having done a 1000 hours already. It is so much fun to watch him. What a dedicati…

User interface pretending to be human: fraud.
Statistical sentence generation described as “intelligence”: fraud.
Telling people, often children, to commit dangerous or criminal acts: all sorts of crimes.
Scientific papers generated, non-existing cases quoted at court, homework faked, artists ripped-off: fraud and copyright infringement.
Training based on unlicensed works: copyright infringement.
Data centers with tax incentives and special energy pricing: theft.
Promises to investors of AGI: fraud.
Government bailouts with taxpayer money: theft and fraud.

Media and politicians: This is innovation, don’t get left behind.

You might be thinking that this is some unusual incident, that the press is cherry-picking and dramatizing the most sensational events.
I live in Minneapolis. The location in this article is pretty close to me. And I am telling you:
The press is •under•-covering what’s happening here. ICE is doing absolutely batshit stuff all the time, every single day, all over the city.
It is exhausting. 🧵

Stephen Miller’s January 2026 announcement to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers
– telling them that they have “immunity to perform your duties”
and that no “illegal alien, no leftist agitator or domestic insurrectionist” can stop them
– may seem like an extreme statement outside the political mainstream.
And when ICE agents use facial recognition software to monitor immigrants and protesters,
that might seem like an unacceptable invasion of people’s p…

How the 9/11 terrorist attacks shaped ICE’s immigration strategy
The growth of today’s aggressive immigration tactics traces back 25 years, when enforcement took on the dimension of counterterrorism.

After “creepy” Super Bowl ad sparks outrage, Ring abandons Flock deal
“This is definitely not about dogs,” senator says, urging a pause on Ring face scans.

There is an entire class of online people telling people who don't love Pluribus that they are tiktok brained and just can't focus.
my friend. I don't use tiktok and long form content is my preference. Contemplative and well made are two different things.

“Move the front window to right edge of the screen”
“No, lower”
“Wait, no, don’t resize it just move it!”
“Why are you tiling the windows?? Move all windows to their original position.”
“No, not the position at boot! Move all windows to their position 3 minutes ago. Then move the window that was in the foreground at that time to the left edge of the screen, 100px lower than its current vertical position.”

A useful tidbit that stood out to me in this article:
“Noem [by lying] is training and testing the MAGA base”
Huh − “training and testing”
There’s a dance here: the regime is training its supports in how to think about and talk about current circumstances — but also testing the waters, seeing what sticks, what they’re willing to believe. Recognizing this as a bidirectional dance seems useful. Framing it as “training” instead of “telling” seems useful. Recognizing it as “testing” seems useful.
