There is big money behind the advertisements I see fighting against Proposition 1 to cut property taxes by 50%, because there are businesses that want your tax dollars with profit paying for the ad campaign. And really this is a…
The interesting bit I wanted to highlight is the steer by wire. We’ve had throttle by wire for a while now, which I’m not a huge fan of, but steer by wire is a solid no thank you. A severe…
Psalm 9 has a perplexing verse, and I haven’t seen anything conclusive from Bible commentaries, with some Bible study notes not even addressing it. And this is a good translation of the Hebrew, rendering the verb return. Sheol is a…
A company with a worsening security record, with state level tampered reseller wallets supposedly stealing $86 million from customers so far, now has zero credibility to release such a device demanding such a hefty price tag. And I’m pretty sure…

(Headline article below) This Facebook Muse is no bueno, as it keeps records on people connected to you. And these tidbits are alarming. Muse’s Messenger connector also reads end-to-end encrypted conversations, and “the other person in the thread chose end-to-end…
(Headline article below) I guess that German money was enough for them to try and force Wayland on Linux users, all for agentic AI integration. KDE 6.8 hasn’t rolled out to Arch Linux yet, but I’ve switched all our computers…
The increase in electricity rates is ridiculous, and California has so many homes with solar that the utility companies knocked down what they pay homeowners for the electricity they contribute to the grid (probably wiping out their break even points).…
