Non-virt

I have absolutely no interest in any virtual conference of any kind and can’t get anything out of them. Totally worthless and boring. I am glad they work for other people but that shit is not for me.

It has all the disadvantages of fucking around at home and all the disadvantages of social bullshit. Hell to the no.

Austere Away

That has been my prediction all along. Very bad times ahead for many people in the US.

Austerity kills — life and spirit.

Total Nope

The Universe Has Made Almost All the Stars It Will Ever Make.

This headline is 100% false, and the article is largely wrong. We’re only a small fraction of the way through the stelliferious era (about 3% if I remember right), so the universe will make lots, lots more stars. I don’t know the exact number, but it’s far more than this article claims.

The absolute number of stars extant at any one time and the stellar masses of them will not be much greater than now, but there is just loads more star formation in the future of the universe.

All Fired

After that explosion of rage, just spent a bit checking Firefox and 70% of the 50ish extension I used to use have no replacement, and sans those I cannot use the browser because without them everything is just too slow/unusable and insecure.

If I had a few billion dollars, I’d take over Mozilla and close the damn thing and fire everyone hard.

Why, why do dumbasses have to optimize everything for hopeless droolers? What a clownworld we live in.
