Send the politicians up into space. Oh wait, that'll just add to the solar radiation, but certainly not the brightness.

What could possibly go wrong? When I was in high school, the Chicken Littles and World Improvers were warning that an ice age might be imminent. What if things head in that direction?

More than 50 executives sent a letter to Congressional leadership Wednesday urging the passage of billions worth of subsidies for the semiconductor industry. I just bought a bag last night and they weren't that expensive. I'd have thought CEOs could afford them.

So they are saying that our capitalist system isn't working, because the richest of our 'capitalists' aren't willing to invest it themselves?
|
|
|
|
|
Capitalism no longer exists except in black markets.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I probably should have put a sarcasm tag on that. People paying higher taxes just so the rich can get richer without any financial danger to themselves is getting very old. I sure hope our representatives tell them to go stuff themselves, but I doubt they will.

Our representatives are part of the same in-group, so don't hold your breath. They go to Congress and emerge multi-millionaires from insider information, prescient trades, and consulting roles waiting for them when they retire or, as is hardly ever the case, lose a re-election bid.
Besides, few voters want capitalism. They want their own bail-outs, subsidies, protectionism, and think the government should and can kiss everything and make it better.

Microsoft is enabling Windows 11 users to include more pinned, and recommended items in their Start Menus with the latest Windows 11 Dev Channel test build. If they keep these improvements up, they might get back to Windows 10 in no time
|

|
I haven't been keeping up. Can you put the start bar on the right or left sides of the screen now in 11?
|
|

I've seen a Registry hack to get it to the side, but I don't think there's a legit way to do it (but I'm not using one of the Insider builds)
Mind you, it doesn't sound like a useful hack:

Wow! Windows 11 is really progressive! So state of the art, and empowering!
Cough, cough.... Call me an ambulance! I think I've hurt myself.

Predictions of a cyborg-infested world in the near future are probably overblown. About the same, but with a shiny suit, with big shoulder pads

It’s not style and shape that makes code hard to maintain. It’s the lack of clarity on how the code works, what it represents, and/or why it was written (this way). What are you going to think about the developer of this code in six months?

Low-code/no-code is not a new programming strategy, but it has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. Here’s a look at what’s changed since its origin decades ago. Coming soon: Negative-code development

A recently discovered FBI training document shows that US law enforcement can gain limited access to the content of encrypted messages from secure messaging services like iMessage, Line, and WhatsApp, but not to messages sent via Signal, Telegram, Threema, Viber, WeChat, or Wickr. "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail."
Sorry I keep using it, but I still think it's the most appropriate quote for all these stories

That's why now the politicians are asking for comunication inter-platforms... of course for our good and comfortableness.

A developer asked Microsoft's WinUI 3 dev team about delayed open source plans for the nearly two-year-old project that serves as the company's next-gen UI library for creating Windows apps. Apparently, creating one API to bind them all is harder than it looks in PowerPoint

The UK’s competition regulator has officially ruled that Facebook parent company Meta’s acquisition of Giphy should be unwound, a year and a half after the social media giant first said it was acquiring the popular GIF-making and sharing website. He who controls the GIFs controls the internet
And it's pronounced GIF!
