✅ Super PAC owner (pro-trump)
✅ Racist
✅ Obama Birther conspiracy theorist
✅ Republican senator son
Sounds delightful! 🤢

Recently bought a 2015 MacBook with great specs, running Ventura via OCLP and purring like a kitten 👌
For a second there, I thought the man photo was Elon Musk with an aging-filter 😅
So … How likely is it that Russia fiddled with the election? 🙄
Also, fuck 😮💨
Asked cgpt to compare lasers to microwave for data transmission; take with a grain of salt, but seems transfer rate especially isn’t comparable.
Feature | Laser Transmission (e.g., Taara) | Microwave Transmission |
---|---|---|
Medium | Free-space optical (light, like a fiber-optic cable without fiber) | Radio/microwave frequencies (GHz range) |
Wavelength | ~780–1600 nm (near-infrared) | ~1–100 GHz |
Typical Data Rate | 10–100 Gbps (Taara targets ~20 Gbps and higher) | 100 Mbps – 1 Gbps (modern line-of-sight microwave) |
Max Practical Range | ~10–20 km, highly sensitive to weather | ~30–50 km, more tolerant of weather |
Line-of-Sight Requirement | Yes, with tight beam alignment needed | Yes, but more forgiving alignment |
Weather Sensitivity | High — fog, rain, dust degrade performance | Moderate — heavy rain can attenuate signal |
Latency | Low | Low |
Power Usage | Lower power for same data rate | Slightly higher power use |
Security | High — narrow beam, hard to intercept | Moderate — wider beam, easier to jam or intercept |
Deployment | Harder — requires precision mounting and stability | Easier — flexible mounting, ruggedized equipment |
Cost | Higher upfront (optical gear, alignment systems) | Lower per-unit, mature market |
Use Cases | High-throughput backhaul (rural, terrain-constrained areas) | Medium-throughput links, often as telco backbone |
There’s always room for the token American on the panel shows 😊👌
Also, guessing their standard is pretty low if Gimp does the job — at least from a professional standard. There’s not much of a comparison.
* gruff New Jersey accent * Pack it in, boys!
Well that’s nice. Hopefully they have some teeth, so we don’t have to go through another one of Zuck’s crocodile-tears-fuelled hearings, followed by absolutely fuck-all change 🙄
Shit dude, this is a public instance! Think of your family! 😳

Slightly unrelated — was watching a Danish military analyst’s commentary on the farcical white house shit-show the other day, and he had this really great line (I’ll paraphrase): “The interesting thing with [Chump] isn’t what he’s going to do next, it’s what he’ll do when it fails” 😂
Video link for those interested (quite good, and in English).
Someone mentioned that to me, but said the story had been attempted scrubbed from the web — anyone have a link?
Edit — Never mind, nothing was scrubbed, that was the shortest Google search I ever did 😅
In mother America, car IDE’s you!
Joking aside — how the fuck are they getting away with this shit?! A company with zero armored car experience (fuck you, Cybertruck) gets a 400M government contract out of the blue? While the CEO of said company is employed by the same government, and a personal “friend” of the president?!
Seriously, if corporations are people, when the fuck are they going to start screaming their heads off?! Are none of the American car manufacturers enraged by this?!
America is so completely fucked.
Obsidian, any day, all day.
I love it so much that I live in near constant fear for them to somehow enshittify it 😔
It’s only a matter of time before 6 Flags is just 1000 AIs on rollercoasters.
… wasn’t OpenAI not also …
Uhm. No? Or yes? Maybe? 🤔😅
“… reports Chinese state propaganda branch, through western media …” 🙄
That is the most insanely generous thing I’ve read in years. What the — pardon my French — fucking fuck have they done that was useful or innovative in the last 20 years?! 🤯
