Boston-area idealist. He/him. Queer, leftist. Opposing the new fascist regime and building a brighter future is the primary struggle of our time. Together, we can protect our communities. Together, we will overcome!

"Could have"? So, we don't have life on Earth today? "Might have", is what you're looking for.

I see we're doing "marketplace of ideas" discourse again. In light of this, I would like to clarify something most people miss: "the marketplace of ideas" is a bullshit concept grounded in misinterpreting John Stuart Mill, or; it is a bullshit concept the Supreme Court pulled from its ass.

Boycott all corporate media and entertainment including sports. Boycott all their advertisers. Pocket book diplomacy is the only thing they understand.

Genocide, persecution, secret police, concentration camps, naked corruption, demonization of marginalized groups, etc. have all been staples of the USA for over 500 years. History is written by the bootlickers, after all. And the media has always been under the control of the ultra-wealthy.

AI does not "converse" nor does it "summarize". You are publishing inaccurate things about tech, even though your entire reputation revolves around being tech experts. Just think about that.

AI naïvity: When we presented a detailed study about the Danish game industry last month, a young audience member asked us why we hadn't just asked ChatGPT? He apparently thought that AIs knew "everything", and didn't see any reason why you would gather new data. That is a problem.

The video streaming sites are cultural ghettos, giving us crumbs of recent and curated movies while excluding most of the most important movies humans have made so far. I'd love to see columns about the best [insert genre here] to watch, not limited by some corporate platform.

🇪🇺The EU Commission seriously claims: "There is no such thing as #ChatControl.” Their fantasy: A magic, 100% perfect algorithm that only finds CSAM. The reality: To find anything, you must scan everything. Stop the mass surveillance lie! #StopScanningMe
A screenshot of a social media post (a toot) from the European Commission. The account handle is @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu. The post is dated September 10, 2025, at 16:53 and was posted from the Web.

The text of the post reads:

"Hello @ranx!
Let us be clear: under this proposal, there is no general monitoring of online communications. There will be no such thing as “chat control”.

Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected.

Detection orders can only be issued by judicial or independent administrative authorities at the end of a thorough process to assess necessity and proportionality, balancing all the fundamental rights at stake."

History rhymes, and we can learn from the cadence.
This poster, which was created and disseminated by abolitionist Theodore Parker, warns black people in Boston to beware of watchmen and police officers, who were legally allowed to act as kidnappers due to the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

Text reads: Caution!! Colored people of Boston, one & all, you are hereby respectfully cautioned and advised, to avoid conversing with the watchmen and police officers of Boston, for since the recent order of the mayor & aldermen, they are empowered to act as kidnappers and slave catchers ... Keep a sharp look out for kidnappers, and have top eye open. April 24, 1851

Microsoft doesn't give a shit about me. Or any of its users. It almost feels silly to say that out loud. It's a truth that's been commonly accepted for a long time. And yet. And yet, it feels liberating in some way to give voice to the indignities they put us through. (16/N)

And every time I see Security Options at the right end of my ribbon, I move it back. I put it back where it belongs. I put it back to the place where I previously indicated I wanted it to be. (13/N)

But this is no one-time fluke. The Security Actions button has moved to the right end of my ribbon countless times now. It probably happens once or twice a day, on average. Maybe it happens when Outlook silently runs an update. (12/N)

I presume Security Options has moved from my preferred spot in the middle of my ribbon, all the way over to the right, by some automated process - long forgotten by Microsoft engineers. (11/N)
