Brilliant move by MS today.

No no, Gmail, you got it right.

I would caution about entirely abandoning nuclear, though. We still want something to replace base load from coal/gas during solar non-producing hours. Keep on doing the research to get those costs down.

Both adults AND kids are way better this way. My ND kids have had great school experiences, better than they would have had when I was a kid. That's progress as a society.

Just watched Thelma tonight. It's AMAZING. Premise: an elderly grandma gets phone scammed and then decides to hunt down the guy who scammed her. www.imdb.com/title/tt2377...

My gut tells me that Dubya has more than a few zingers he's told friends and family.

Frozen food. It was usually disgusting in the 80s and 90s. Now most of it is actually really good. We don't mock microwave meals all that much anymore.

This is all just a very aggressive Cybersecurity Awareness Month campaign

Don't forget, the annual @saintcon.bsky.social Swap Meet is happening on Tuesday Oct 27 at 6PM in the meeting room of the Hyatt Place Provo! This is a good chance to offload all your spare gear or add to your growing pile of shame. saintcon.org/events/swap-...

But it IS a sign of Aaron's general lack of competence, including the hiring decisions that bring in people who do this kind of stuff. Utah County does NOT have a great track record on clerks going back at least two decades. #utpol

The music is about to stop and everyone is eyeing a chair.

This is a metaphor for the rest of the "best run" state. We're dessicating it through drought and water mismanagementas we continue to prioritize developers and farmers. #utpol

20 year ago, this story would have been about a DSL provider. Cable plants are following the same trajectory. They failed to upgrade aging coax as they double down on existing infra and shed customers by the boatload. DOCSIS 4.0 was a late bandage. broadbandbreakfast.com/comcast-lose...

I wouldn't even install that app on a burner phone in Bangladesh controlled over Tor.

It's great when I'm traveling with all my kids. When it's just me and/or my wife? Nope, never, not worth it.

Not a lot of "federal overreach" types will say much, if anything, about this. #utpol

The logo refresh is Goering just great. The fans will Gobbels it up.

Just like calling databases primary and replica, it's FAR clearer in establishing what the control does both on its own and in relation to other controls.

Around 40% of websites use WordPress. Closing that 30% gap with other PHP-based CMSes and bespoke sites doesn't seem that far off.

A deep cut, for those who know. #hunter2

"The private key sizes of the compromised keys ranged from 3 to 8 bits." I know bits are expensive now, but come ON.

Supporting the thesis that most people who were enthusiastic about far-right politics either became centrist to left-of-center normies or went entirely insane.

Amazon hired the stupidest people on the face on the planet to design their Kindle app. You cannot setup a Kindle via their app if your WiFi network uses smart steering with the same SSID for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. It will simply not be visible. The workaround is a dummy SSID on 2.4GHz only.

This is why I say there's no reason to vote for Republicans. They know what's happening and won't stop it, either from complicity or cowardice. There are some good people who stay that believe, falsely, that there is a recovery path. I no longer explain to them why it doesn't exist.

Even if you could look past the horrifix ownership, the technical changes to the platform that enable harassment and botting should have been enough to ruin the platform for you.

Enough flash storage for my Plex library.

I'd say the sweet potato harvest was decent. #gardening

If the people and legislature are co-equals as per the Utah Constitution, then it makes no sense to pass a law putting citizen initiatives on unequal footing. No on Amendment B. #utpol

Truly the end times. Workday now lets you reuse your profile information across job applications. newsroom.workday.com/2026-10-13-N...

The people in the great and spacious building spend a lot of time trying to shame the people who left into coming back.

Hopefully Ukraine will keep on going until they find the right one.

Spicy Deidre is the BEST Deidre. #utpol

I'm pretty sure you can start a fistfight in the South by asking if biscuits should be made with butter or shortening.

Gruber's entire argument is basically baiting you with FOMO. Which is not all that shocking since all of his Apple takes have been basically the same condescending nonsense.

WordPerfect would never.

Given that Columbus Day was started by Italian-Americans to combat anti-Italian sentiment and we've definitely accomplished that mission, I think it's safe to quietly retire said holiday.

Being around these people stains your soul and causes madness, just like The One Ring. Almost like the point of LOTR was that you should run screaming from promises of unlimited power.

I've started using the analogy that birthing a software project or interactive website is the same as having a kid. It's really easy to do the creation part, but it's an 18 year commitment that will keep you up at night wondering who put you in this situation. It's sometimes enjoyable though.

Those of us who have seen F/LOSS projects on GitHub that shipped zero updates since the initial commit know better than to go chasing these "alternatives" down.

It's too long for a post, and can't easily be broken up into a thread, so I'm going to do the screenshot + alt text thing to say: vote for zero Republicans.

Pour one out for Robert X. Cringley. Dude was an absolute legend in tech commentary for decades, and I started reading his stuff in Infoworld back in the day.
