Sometimes, to make me attempt to investigate something that bothers me but does not intrigue me to the point of really awakening my interest, a chain of events needs to…
America doesn’t even know what to ban from China!
I initially posted this as a quick note, but I decided it deserves more attention, as Uncle Sam is literally retarded. ● The US just banned DeepSeek from government agency…
It’s time we forgot that France exists—even our entire civilization
Everyone knows by now what anarchic destruction took place in France over the last few days, in parallel with, and fueled by, the inept student protests (lycéens, secondary-school students, actually).…
Pangram: The Atlantic’s Vauhini Vara is a complete retard
The mediocre piece of fiction discussed by Vauhini Vara—a writer herself, but mostly a journalist for The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Magazine—might as well be…
La subraț, în și pe supat, în sunas
Am hotărât să scriu această postare în ciuda silei pe care o am față de problema apărută din neant a unui „supat”. Viralizarea discuției este tipică imbecilizării contemporane, iar gogoașa…
Gemini is increasingly bad, but ChatGPT surprised me
Using LLMs is as unpredictable as the weather. One day a model seems decent; the next day its next version (or even the same version!) disappoints completely. I keep giving…
Adventures in Linux, September 2026 edition (+Postscript)
Lately, I’ve been unusually quiet regarding the evolutions (or involutions) in the Linux ecosystem. That’s because I am sick of the infantilism that defines everything Linux. Apparently, Linux is still…
Windows and Firefox colluded to wreck my download speed!
This is an issue I investigated and fixed on August 30. Since Gemini was somewhat confused and proposed some useless changes (no, this had nothing to do with any power…
Woes with Bluetooth and the audio jack in Windows

The fake Luis Burgado piano player and violinist
It’s an open secret that AI-generated fake artists are disrupting the music industry, and that the public is stupid enough to enjoy AI-generated music. Things seem, however, to be completely…
Linux is still booting up in 1980
I’m not in a good mood, and I tend to feel this way whenever operating systems or software are annoying me. To be frank, there is absolutely no operating system…
Did AI kill us yet?
I’m so sick of this new hysteria! Our natural stupidity would probably kill us before AI does. But hey, we still have to tackle this sorcerer’s apprentice situation, eh? I…
Iar e pe ulei Gemini
Întrebare: cum se chema în Franța, imediat după război, planul care hotărea ce tip de autovehicule să fabrice marii producători? Cretinul caută pe web, cugetă, după care și-o bagă singur…
