Torvalds is still very active on the Linux kernel. As far as I know, he’s in charge of it and makes major decisions about its direction.

Bill Gates retired from Microsoft in 2008.

The USA doesn’t really do the constitution any more.

Why would he? It’s all he has.

In 2000. Al Gore won that election, but Republicans cheated.

I’m sure Elon’s censorship of the “garbage” will be fair and neutral.

More like eating your own shit. But according to Elon, model collapse will save us all with its magical wisdom!

Only one of these “criminals” is a criminal.

Specifically, since Thatcher and Reagan. The UK never recovered.

A highly selective natural disaster maybe.

I’ll get a cabin in the woods and forget about all this.

Enjoy the uncontrolled wildfires. There’s no escaping the damaging effects of capitalism.

A big step is to realize that you’re just falling for marketing. Tech media, including music and photography tech, is one big advertisement and the industry serves itself, not you. This usually doesn’t dawn until you’ve bought some of the things the journalists get breathless about and discovered that the gear is OK but not earth shattering, and you still have the same creative challenges as before.

It does mention specific trends and their implications for people’s relationship with photography and their own experiences though, which I thought was interesting. It’s not just grumbling about the kids; it’s observing how particular ways of taking photos can have unwanted consequences.

And they quite probably killed the scientists’ families too when they attacked them at home.

So they pollute, they raise the price of power for Michigan residents, they don’t provide any needed power, everyone in charge wants them closed down and local people don’t want them either. Is Trump ordering them to stay open just because informed and responsible people say they should close? Is it just the government equivalent of rolling coal in the face of a cyclist because you’re bitter about how your life has gone?

Fellow human beings? People? I’m not familiar with this terminology. Are you talking about consumers, or taxpayers, or human resources?

There’s also a strong white supremacist aspect to natalism. It’s a form of racial eugenics.

That just sounds like fascism done by pretentious techbros. “Dark Enlightenment” is just them trying to make it sound more mysterious than the absolute idiocy that it is.

Here’s another source that confirms the truth of the headline:

Mick Mulvaney warned that the flagpoles could pose a problem for landing the president’s helicopter.

Hmm. Not sure how to feel about that. Depends whether he’s in it.

Extremely depressing to read that. People don’t understand that you can’t have a society that truly respects everyone’s rights except those people. Trans rights are the frontline of the fight for everyone’s rights, not some optional extra.
