Meh, he’s one to talk. He admits to regularly using AI in his writing—maybe this very piece you’re reading—so it has clearly changed something in his workflow.

Nikhil Suresh’s opinion piece stands up on its own without Cory Doctorow’s platitudes.

If I saw someone sawing down a Flock camera, I probably didn’t see anyone.

DeepSeek shook the AI world because it’s cheaper, not because it’s open source.

And it’s not really open source either. Sure, the weights are open, but the training materials aren’t. Good luck looking at the weights and figuring things out.

That’s just how modems are designed. DOCSIS consumer cable modems allocate about 10× download bandwidth vs upload. A 10:1 download-to-upload ratio is pretty standard. I have a 400 Mbps upload on a 1.2 Gbps download, which is pretty good.

Enshittifying the US government.

This is it. “We spent so damn much money on this, we gotta see some NUMBERS on the dashboard!”

I wonder if Texas has better bankruptcy laws.

VOA News is not a reliable news source—it’s literally a taxpayer-funded propaganda outlet of the USA. Since the Trump administration the organization has been pumping out odd conservative talking points.

Hugs, friend. I’m sadly familiar with both, and I know people who struggle mightily with those conditions and more.

I have some tips if you want to hear them, but I understand if you just want to vent.
