I just spent the last two hours debugging the Bluetooth stack *in anger* because for the last few weeks I've had to re-pair my mouse with my laptop. Every time. Remove mouse, re-pair.

Turns out I had two identical mice in my backpack and I've been switching between them.

It was me.

Great thoughts and reflections from @scott.hanselman.com.

We need to continue reading and writing original content, and teach our kids the importance of critical thinking. AI should be a tool for exploring ideas and creativity, not for replacing our thoughts and effort.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

Totally normal and acceptable stuff from non-racist conservatives:
Fox News Contributor Katie Pavlich Calls Mehdi Hasan a ‘Terrorist’
Conservative commentator Ryan Girdusky was banned from CNN last October when he implied Hasan, who is Muslim, was a terrorist during a debate.

What is happening now in the federal government is what happens when private equity takes over a company. They come in with confident ignorance and cruelty, they tear the company to shreds, they extract millions. The company fails and everyone else loses their job. They always get away with it.

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me."

Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”

Trump: "I don't think you can work from a home. Nobody is gonna work from home. They are gonna be going out, they're gonna play tennis, they're gonna play golf, they're gonna do a lot of things. They're not working."

Omg i just discovered that the nation’s social security database is just a file called todo.txt on Jeff’s laptop! Someone should do something. Maybe aggregate the free threaded marshaler or call a RPC with a regex and a little agentic ai. I could do this in a weekend but I’m too busy soloing diablo4

Just to clear up any Trump world fantasy that Donald Trump has a mandate, his current approval rating of 47% is the second lowest of any new president in modern history.

The lowest was Trump in his first term.

Sen. John Kennedy tells Fox News that US soldiers who were booted for refusing to take the vaccine were younger people who said "this is a government vaccine...and they don’t completely trust the government" and didn't take it on "principle."

Don't trust gov't, but wanted to serve and be paid by it
