How about a class action lawsuit for pain and suffering for all Americans because this is all bullshit

Xbox leadership team has been ousted and replaced with the exec from Microsoft CoreAI (Recall etc). What a disaster.

Now do immunity...

Trump says that all the tariffs that were not overruled by the Supreme Court remain in place. YES… THIS IS HOW LEGAL OPINIONS WORK

Neal Katyal: "In America, the chief justice said only Congress can impose taxes on the American people, and that's what tariffs are. Tariffs are taxes."

Tariff refund time!

BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Supreme Court just struck down the president’s unlawful tariffs under IEEPA, siding with Oregon and our multistate coalition. Read our statement.

".. the Government cannot identify any statute in which the power to regulate includes the power to tax. The Court is therefore skeptical that in IEEPA—and IEEPA alone—Congress hid a delegation of its birth-right power to tax .." www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

So. A globally disruptive, economically unsound, and whim-driven tariff policy turns out to be unconstitutional. Huh.

Sharpening my pitchfork....

Whelp...never using an in-room coffee machine in a hotel again

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

A government that actually understands computing technology would consider this an emergency

1) Top US commanders in Venezuela. 2) US military prepared to strike Iran. Enjoy your weekend. @cnn.com @reuters.com www.cnn.com/2026/02/18/p...

“You should really try using AI more.” People who say stuff like that sound like evangelicals at the door.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

So I've been dealing with incorporating a business in France, with naming and brand identity (done here with a local firm), talking to suppliers, etc. But my new favorite genre on YouTube is "engineer irritated with codegen." I eat this stuff up like I'm an unsupervised child alone in a patisserie.

I wrote a few words last night. nvie.com/posts/15-yea...

Oh god yes, Microsoft continvoucly morged my diagram there for sure 😬

Today I hired a contractor to help fix a problem. They were on time, listened to requirements, provided reasonable estimates, had tools and experience to do the job, and professionalism in explaining the work done. I paid the contractor what was asked happily. I would hire that plumber again.

“.. ‘many system vendors will go bankrupt or exit product lines due to a lack of memory. Mobile phone production will be reduced by 200-250 million units, and PC and TV production will be significantly reduced.’ Yikes.” @pcgamer.com #DRAM www.pcgamer.com/hardware/mem...

This morning, because of the invasive policies of Microsoft owned GitHub, I deleted all my public and private repositories. I'll keep my account since it is useful to track other repository news. But I'm done with corporate overreach in this corner of the internet.

Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social It'll make Carr mad

The future we got is the one where Philip K Dick wrote fanfiction borrowing Douglas Adams’ Sirius Cybernetics Corporation

My reaction watching AI developers defend the Microsoft GitHub slopagram (expensive visual noise wearing the skin of information), and then spending *even more money* to make equally wrong slopagrams is, fam, I don’t think we’re getting an AI singularity.

This just happened. Not sure when it was first discovered. 10 hours ago or more. Wondering how long ago this was published. AI slop is out of control.

It's even worse than that — it's a poor ripoff of a real diagram that @nvie.com created years ago for the original git flow blog post. Like, there clearly was never even the *intent* to generate a meaningful diagram, it's just sheer plagiarism

oh.... my god?? actual chart from learn.microsoft.com/en-us/traini... btw

AI has changed the economics of scamming. Things that used to be telltale signs of a phishing attempt, like typos and phony-looking webpages, are absent as scammers are generating websites that are near indistinguishable from those of trusted brands.

This Brazilian woman hates AI

Kilauea erupting again right now. Fountains so big, it's erupting right off the screen. New reports say 375 m (1200 ft) high, but it might be higher now. Looks like it's raining, which can affect tephra density. #hawaii #volcano

The author spun the wheel of excuses and came up with: it was a Friday before a weekend and accidents happened with his content being fabricated so that and feeling sick with something, he didn't correct it. This from an obviously biased pro-AI author on staff. arstechnica.com/staff/2026/0...

BREAKING: @barackobama.bsky.social clarifies his position on aliens after his answer during the speed round of our interview went viral.

“Nobody wants these ding dongs in our fucking city.” Nate Pischke has found a uniquely Minnesotan way to protest the ICE surge in Minneapolis, using his platform as a fishing influencer to call attention to what he describes as a federal siege of his hometown.

Today after much ado, I have unlocked a new skill. That of making baked potato chips. I have written down my ingredients and methods. With some practice and experimentation they will get better. I did not look up a recipe online and no Artificial Ingredients were used in the making of my chips.

This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Meta Wants to Scan Every Face You Walk Past 👓🔴 Meta plans to add facial recognition to Ray-Ban smart glasses. An internal document says they timed launch during political crisis so civil society wouldn't notice. blog.adafruit.com/2026/02/14/m...

This week, GitHub went down for the 3rd time in as many weeks. Devs noticed the rollout of GitHub Agents enabled by default in everyone's private repos. With a cherry on top of a matplotlib maintainer on the receiving end of an OpenClaw agent writing a slander post for rejecting its pull request.

Well won't this be some fine kryptonite to launch into the Slack channel at work. 😅

In the glittering sky above Rubin Observatory shines the Pleiades, or M45: an open star cluster with at least a thousand stars!✨ You don't need to be under some of the clearest skies on Earth (like Rubin is) to see M45! It's visible from October through April from most latitudes. 🌎 🔭

Parents pump on the breaks...AI for kids is a bad idea. [a licensed professional counselor stated for the article...] “One of my biggest concerns with children interacting with chatbots is that children are naturally predisposed to believe things that aren’t real, especially if they are humanlike”

It’s like when hiring - you want people that are smart and get things done. But the worst quadrant from the business’s perspective isn’t a “no” to both. The worst is the dumb but productive worker. Because they create more work for everyone else. That’s what LLMs are: Dumb but extremely productive

“Microsoft AI CEO predicts 'most, if not all' white-collar tasks will be automated by AI within 18 months.” This is absolutely delusional. Not just unrealistic but beyond Theranos levels of irresponsible.

Wow. Last time I was there everything seemed fine. What a great place to walk to with my dev team back in the day for lunch breaks. Memories as a kid going to their produce market in its heyday. www.opb.org/article/2026...
