Sourceforge gives me the heeby-jeebys though.

I have no idea why they use that either. It was legitimately great 25 years ago but it's just felt like an SEO farm for at least 15 years.

Once you get down into it, it's fine. https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/

I mean ok, it's fine.

You should see github. /s

Billionaires are rarely aligned on any political spectrum. They pray at the altar of Mammon and they are aligned to whatever "side" promises the biggest financial upside.

Musk cosied up with Trump because he saw a way boost revenue with lucrative government contracts and a prez that is buyable wrt whatever other projects he has planned (Orion/Starship, Robotaxi etc)

He had a falling out with Trump when he realized that the winds were blowing in the opposite direction than anticipated.

Their only ideology is money, nothing else.

I think this view is limited. Right now, we can clearly see ideological motivations beyond money in these billionaires. They are going for the crown, they want to reign.

Thiel, Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, they want to rule the world. I think Musk is just the least competent, most impulsive of them. Thiel is probably the most dangerous, who, besides being completely insane, is able to pull off the long con and can moderate his ego best.

More like the German SS or Russian KGB or Gestapo. Including the "papers please" cosplaying.

Anyone well versed in the metric system can easily scale up and down the orders of magnitude, and units like "millions of kilowatts" is just tautology in the end of the day.

Also, like others have pointed out, kilowatts and kilowatt-hours are most certainly not used on grid scale projects. Mega- and giga- are the standard throughout.

Vague posting is as old as social networks. I had loads of fun back in the day responding to all the "you know who you are" posts on facebook, when it's clearly not aimed at me.

Try rawdogging a train ride or short flight, and do nothing but take in the view. You might fool your body into accepting this state by actually doing something, but not really doing something.

> have a tune knob for precise tuning

Who the hell still tunes a radio in 2026.

Third world countries. We do.

I know first world countries come first, but you asked.

Many years ago I subscribed to his blog/newsletter thinking it was going to be full of great gems, like the comic strip. I was very surprised to learn that not to be the case, as every other article was some sort of unhinged ramble about race, class, culture or religion.

I enjoy his cartoon, I still do in fact. But I don't think I'll enjoy the company of the creator himself.

Having said that, an untimely death is deserved by nobody and I hope he can remain comfortable and pain free till the end.

10th.

It all went to shit the year they killed Harambe.
