@Kude42 @ShatBlade89 @Thugg_Speedman These will 100% mess with the static pressure in your system and likely starve other rooms of their supply, which could cause pressure issues in your air handler. The system, if designed correctly, does not need fans on the vents. They should provide 6’ of “throw” from the vent.

@tBoinks_ @frankiefey The automatic power savers I’ve seen disconnect the power to the condenser. Your thermostat can call for cooling all day and it won’t do anything.

Never have I removed a like so fast after checking the comments. He “Vibe coded” himself into digital purgatory. Actual clown behavior.

POV: You've spent the last 6 hours trying to regain control over your PC after Windows forced itself as the only operating system.

I have Linux on a 2TB NVMe.
I have Windows on a 1TB NVMe.
Linux is set to boot priority in BIOS.

WINDOWS STILL BOOTS.

Windows is a virus.

@UK_Daniel_Card Yet another reason to use LibreOffice.

Ditch Microslop.

[Matthew Marcum @MatthewSMarcum]

@WindowsLatest Even more slop from Microslop…

microslop is now trending on here 🙃

Same guy. Same aura.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

There was a line from Zohran Mamdani’s inaugural address yesterday that took my breath away. He said he intended to replace “the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Collectivism in its various forms is responsible for the deaths of at least one hundred million people in the last century. Socialist and Communist forms of government around the world today—Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, etc.—are disastrous. Catholic social teaching has consistently condemned socialism and has embraced the market economy, which people like Mayor Mamdani caricature as “rugged individualism.” In fact, it is the economic system that is based upon the rights, freedom, and dignity of the human person. For God’s sake, spare me the “warmth of collectivism.”

Eat pant, @Microsoft

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wants you to stop calling AI "slop" in 2026.

Microslop

@CanopyWave_CW @Pirat_Nation …and surrounding yourself with annoying login screens, endless popups, and unwanted AI.

[Matthew Marcum @MatthewSMarcum]

This reminds me of another scummy corporate practice… never giving you perfect scores during a performance review. You can perform your job perfectly, but managers are required to mark you for something. You must have a “goal” toward improvement.

Every day I get a little angrier at the state of the news media…

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

Far-right parties are claiming the festive season as their own, recasting Christmas as a marker of Christian civilization that is under threat and positioning themselves as its last line of defense against a supposedly hostile, secular left. https://t.co/6QMMomhHHX

@goodefoodsfam AI detected, product rejected

I don’t remember the exact quote but I heard something relevant once:

“it’s nearly impossible to write a compelling authoritarian villain because you have to either make them:
a) completely incompetent
b) cool as hell.”

[PC Gamer @pcgamer]

Fallout: New Vegas lead writer worries Caesar's argument for authoritarianism 'was done a little too well,' but still believes 'you can't just make your tyrants cardboard villains' https://t.co/LePSbXUQky

Oh, this bubble is going to pop so hard and they all know it…

JUST IN: Elon Musk says there is "no need" to save money because universal high income is coming

[Matthew Marcum @MatthewSMarcum]

Back when I was pitching short stories and flash fiction to publishers I ran across more than one who specified “submissions only accepted from *date* to *date*, submissions from BIPOC accepted year round.”

Glad to see someone finally talking about this.

It’s all just so shortsighted…

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Disney has signed a deal with OpenAI & invested $1 billion into the company

Sora will now be able to AI generate videos based on animated, masked & creature characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar & Star Wars

Curated selections of AI generated videos will be released on Disney+

[Matthew Marcum @MatthewSMarcum]

I sincerely believe that greedy corporations pushing AI into every aspect of our lives will be cause people to start rejecting tech. It will start slow, but then everything will crash all at once. People will sign off and read books and work puzzles and dig out their old consoles
