I am a programmer.

I dunno. The current state of the world might be making me more conspiracy-minded, but this feels like it was always part of the plan.

Introduce surveillance tech that Peter Thiel can use to spy/sell/whatever, announce that you’re using it, expecting people to get angry, and now in the 11th hour, after harvesting all the data they get to announce “we’re removing the evil software! We’re the good guys again!”

Windows 12 will be the first vibe-coded OS

Median isn’t average.

They use median in the article like it means average. So are they talking about the median age (the number in the middle of the dataset) or average?

Innovate only when it’s necessary. In the meantime, perfect what exists.

Kid Rock and a ninja turtle

Bovine probably cried when Rittenhouse was arrested, saying he did nothing wrong.

Pro tip: These puzzles are always best solved by working backwards.

If they’re selling bitlocker as “full-disk encryption”, doesn’t that open them up to a class action since encryption with a backdoor isn’t encryption?
