  • Thank you for posting the actual numbers. This article is pretty shitty imo. I read it just to see if they even included them (I guess, to their credit, at least they did that).

    4,3,5 and 10(even though the govt is reporting 6) over the last 4 years.

    So even assuming 10 is correct, using the “more than doubled” almost seems like journalistic malpractice. At best it’s click-bait garbage. Where was the “ICE sees 25% drop in in-custody deaths” article a few years ago?

    Should we watch it to see if it’s a broader trend? Yea, probably. Is this necessarily indicative of anything nefarious? No.

    There could be (and likely are) legitimate reasons for the increase that have nothing to do with “ICE bad”. Like maybe, people coming in already sick, maybe an older demographic, unvaccinated people, etc etc. or literally just random fucking chance.










  • The implication, well one of many, is that the President is the one charging Trump with these crimes. He’s being charged for state crimes, by the various states AGs, in accordance to their laws. He’s also being sued civilly by people he’s defrauded, sexually assaulted, or defamed.

    The current president and current administration has had no input in any of this.

    The federal cases he has stem from his “mishandling” of classified documents after he was out of office. This case is being handled by a special prosecutor who is insulated from the executive and bound by laws, procedure, legal ethics, etc to act independently from the administration.

    So, at the end of the day it’s just more absolute horse shit from Trump and more evidence he should never be on the ballot.




  • Counter point: I just got a new MacBook at work. It’s an all windows enterprise. There are like 10 of us that got macs. The setup for them is kludgy because all of the tooling is for windows.

    That said, Microsoft office and one drive is so much better to use because the “integration” isn’t there…and it works like I want it to work.

    It’s hilarious to me that they’ve made their offering worse with all of their efforts to integrate 365 and onedrive into everything.

    I think if apple just did a little towards the enterprise they’d take chunks of market share. Like having a macpro with a pic/cac card reader would be a good start.






  • Maybe some MBA did the math and is smarter than me or maybe they have different goals for esxi that extend beyond (having people and companies use it), but they have to realize free tier esxi is what the nerds and IT pros are going to use to hone their skills. And then those are the people that talk their companies into buying products.

    Moves like this always seem so short sighted. 5 years from now you are going to see an uptick in proxmox setups or managed solutions using proxmox and other competitors.
