if you wonder why Medicare funding is problematic, consider how the super-rich avoid paying their fair share:

“Mr. Bessent avoided paying roughly $910,000 in Medicare taxes on money he made running his hedge fund in 2021, 2022 and 2023, according to a memorandum prepared by Democratic Senate staff for Mr. Bessent’s confirmation hearing in January.”

I haven't yelled that many (overwhelmingly excited) swear words at the sky for a long time. WWOOOOOWWWWW. Reddest auroras I've ever seen!! Usually it takes a long time exposure/CCD camera to see red at all. This is BRIGHT!! You can actually see easily outside by aurora light!!!!

Warming up for a few minutes before heading back out

There’s something about sitting on your ass, waiting for things to get sorted by somebody else before you can really dig in on your part of the task, that’s extra boring. Like double-plus unengaging.

Reminder that AI is "propping up" the economy the same way a tape worm props up your metabolism.

It has completely choked off all capital investment to any other activity for years. It completely devours resources needed by any other endeavor. And for all that, it produces practically nothing that people want or need. It's strangling the economy.

Captain Artem "Archer" Sviridov was killed in combat on 28 August 2025. He left his life as an ICU nurse in Germany to defend Ukraine in 2022.

Even while fighting, he studied healthcare management, planning to reform Ukrainian medicine after victory.

"This war is about defending freedoms and values. I want to help my country change," he wrote.

Ukraine lost a warrior and healer.
Rest in Peace

they're choosing to retire rather than get a new job herding slop

let's say there's gonna be a *ton* of opportunities in sysadmin/devops in a couple of years, as it becomes harder to find people who know what the fuck they're doing

"You earned the Chrome DevTools User badge for the Google Developer Program! Create a profile to claim your badge."

first of all, what the actual frak??
secondly, I see the next stage of enshittifying Chrome is centered around the Developer Tools, good to know 🤮

thirdly, the cherry on top detail is there is no "Turn this notification off" action, just "Remind me later" and "Create profile" 🫠

It's common knowledge the fedi is full of geeks who love their Linux, but that's only one facet of the fedi.

It's also full of:

Lovers of mushrooms & insects

Musicians & fans who know all the deepest cuts of the music

People who love linking music to a theme, no matter how abstract

Artists, craftspeople, photographers

Lovers of random facts

Sharers of whatever is in their garden, park or green space

Furries & their conventions

Shares of photos of windows, doors, sea, flowers

Mini painters & table top role players

Board game players

The list goes on, if you want it, it's here, or you can create it ;)

¡Viva the fediverse!

A brief reminder that if my unapologetic misuse of Mastodon is ruining your experience here, you can just block my account and it will be as if I don’t exist.

In fact, you can also do this with any account that you don’t want to hear from.

Of course, every time you hit the block button an adorable puppy selected at random somewhere on earth is horribly murdered. I don’t understand why it does that, but it’s how it works.

@davidgerard Seems like a sizable flow of 50-something senior-ish programmers are choosing to nope out too, more than really ought to given everything else.

I suspect the industry's in for a Time at some point. *Especially* as people reach for AI to get stuff done they don't quite understand and don't have the time to figure out.

Windows 7 traffic on my site has dramatically increased over the past 3 months. This was widely reported in the news, and frequently attributed as a statscounter glitch. But I don't use statscounter, and my Windows 7 traffic is still increasing.

No, Windows 7 isn't resurging.

Over 90% of my Windows 7 "visitors" are Chrome users in Singapore with no referrer and 1280x1200 displays. These users *do* execute JS, but do not engage with the page. They appear to visit pages at random.
