I shudder to think just how many other pedophile sex slave rings are still going on uninterrupted.

During the Michigan Senate Debate Mike Rogers claimed that Medicare for All would lead to a $20,000 increase in income taxes for everyone. Under Bernie Sanders' model only people making $529,000 per year would pay this much. Maybe this applies to Mike's friends but most people would pay less in new taxes than they are now paying for healthcare premiums & out of pocket costs.

The most important political task in America is clawing back the vast fortunes (and the vast power they create) of the ultra-rich.

I got two letters from a local hospital the other day: One was an eye-popping bill for a procedure (small thing) I had done recently. The other letter asked for donations to the hospital group. Ain't healthcare in America grand?

I hate that I live in a world where you can use the phrase "Nazi Linux" and people know exactly what you are referring to.

Malware Is Not A Rogue Agent

This week has been a good week for pushback against the pervasive pitch by AI companies that their buggy malware products are some sort of rogue sentient super-intelligent agents straining to break the bounds of captivity.

In case you missed it, here are three authoritative experts on the subject, Timnit W. Gebru, Emily Bender and David Gerard...

Some of you have been asking whether or not Vivaldi is affected by Chrome’s #AI API, which some websites are using for tracking purposes. The answer is straight-forward: no. ✌️

As part of our philosophy to reject built-in AI features, we've been disabling all the Gemini-related code bundled in Chromium for a long while — which effectively prevents websites from using this API in Vivaldi.

On the day that Margaret Hamilton, whose software helped land Apollo 11 on the Moon, died at 90, it's worth noting why computer programming became so dominated by men.

It wasn't remotely because men were better than women at programming. It was because, as soon as men realized how important programming was, they bullied and intimidated women out of the profession. And then smiled smugly and said: "Women can't program".
