Red Hat is fucking shitting on Linux
I wanted to write this about two weeks ago, but I just got sort of apathetic. Well, what I wanted to say has to be said, so here it is:…

How is Germany not a failed state? How was it possible for the security services not to be able to make impossible such terror attacks like the one in Magdeburg?…
Este Cîcîrostanul o cîcîrocrație, sau o cîcîrotatură?
Am scris aceste rânduri în timp ce-l ascultam LIVE pe Pătraru. Cine a sinucis democrația? Taman că când credeam că nu se poate mai suprarealist, mai absurd, mai grotesc, mai…

WordPress 6.7: idiots keep being idiots!

La peor gota fría (DANA) del siglo, y la mayor incompetencia
I tend to get easily revolted, which means I never truly learn from getting older. But I want to express my indignation and frustration regarding the outcome of the recent…
Nerușinarea farmaciștilor nu are limite (și nici cea a autorităților)

Les squatteurs et la loi qui les protège
Il y a six semaines, j'avais écrit ce billet : I wish I weren’t born in Europe. Ce faisant, j'ai oublié de mentionner le squat, sauf dans un commentaire pour un…
May Mozilla’s UX/UI designers all die of colon cancer!
This good wish of mine has been triggered by an elementary issue called scrollbars. Of course, based on how scrollbars have changed to tiny, when not hidden, elements, I should…
RetardGPT stopped working in Firefox ESR 115: what to do
Since yesterday, ChatGPT stopped working in Firefox ESR 115. Yes, I know that ESR has been rebased to 128, but this is not a valid reason to force me to…
Disturbing reads on disturbing facts (II): America

Is this neuroscientist stupid? Now with a language connection!
This is to complement an older post of mine, The Blue That Is Green (And More). Here's what I just read in the Guardian: Do you see blue or green?…

This is just a bit of venting, but also a measure of the exasperation I experience: life in Europe is more and more of a dystopia. I wish this nightmare…
UEFI was already broken, but Microsoft perfected the breakage
I'm fundamentally against UEFI, against Secure Boot, against encrypted partitions and against a number of other modern obsessions. But let's talk a bit about the way Microsoft recently broke GRUB.…
Is it IONOS, is it InnoDB, or is it me?
When I moved my WordPress blog to IONOS end-2022, I was relatively satisfied, despite a bumpy start. The previous hosting was using an older MySQL, the DB was exported as…
