If I don't want something as simple as notifications, pop-ups, or tool-tips popping up on my computer unprompted, why in the world would I want the computer to "think" for itself? :/

We should refer to the cheap garbage products that we're convinced to keep buying as consumerslop. :P

Consumption is the religion, shopping is the prayer, and malls are the temples. :(

Equal Enough to Die - by Jermaine Fowler


Memorial panels honoring Black American soldiers at a military cemetery in the Netherlands are gone. Removed on orders from the Trump administration.

Today is Veterans Day.

That’s all it took. A complaint from the Heritage Foundation, the same organization that wrote Project 2025. The American Battle Monuments Commission removed them earlier this summer. Quietly. Dutch officials only learned about it last weekend.

Trump never pays his bills...


ACECO Demolition, the company that took a wrecking ball to the White House East Wing, to make space for the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom, found that Trump still doesn't pay his contractors. After completing the job on time and in accordance with the contract, the firm claims it's still waiting to be paid and has filed a contractor's lien against both Trump and the White House.

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum
