Low tide, Puerto Peñasco, MX looking towards the Sea of Cortez.

Depends on how much he gets offered.

I wish that were true, but it’s not.

As a UNIX Admin w/ 30+ years of UNIX admin experience, I am literally required to use Windows 11 for work.

Yes, I have my Fedora system running XFCE for work too (it’s also my vagrant test bed), but I like millions of others am required to use winslop and it’s how work requirements go sometimes.

‘Meta will shut down’

Hurray! oh? There’s more to the title? Damn.

Sauron has returned.

TL;DR:

AI bots and AI agents destroyed it.

Sincerely a real problem and I as a sysadmin for various www sites: I loathe them daily.

If Cisco, F5 etc could invent a way to block these bots at the firewall and load balancer level, they’d make billions.

Higher Priority = US Pentagon requests for more AI role playing with bombs.

First mistake: Staying on Reddit. Fuck Spez.

Second mistake: Complaining about Reddit on X. Fuck Musk.

‘This is reported in a HunterBook investigation.’

Stopped right there. It’s unsubstantiated bullshit.

‘Hunterbrook is an investigative news outlet and investment firm. It was founded by Sam Koppelman and Nathaniel Horwitz in 2023.[1] Hunterbrook monetizes its reporting through financial trading and litigation.[2]’

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunterbrook

Hunterbook lies for its own gains.

Entire thing sounds like it was written with AI, produced with AI and spewed with the help of AI.

I call bullshit, there’s no real proof.

I played with the Chinese Zinwa Q25 last year and it sooo felt like a Blackberry. Too bad the Q25 is plagued with issues or I would have bought one.

Almost two decades later and I still miss my Blackberry keyboard.

I don’t like Assassin’s Creed or Tom Clancy’s games enough anyway: Ubisoft now blocked on my Steam list.

SO PTSD is real.
