BBC’s the State media, run by British Intel. THEY create the narrative, and we know what they think of Farage and Reform.
So Binface lost? What happened to all the Internet energy, likes, shares, and blog and social media posts?

Maybe Farage was always destined to win.

I don’t “hate” like you do, you seem awfully young and frustrated. You’ll mellow out, just steer clear of the shrinks and brain pills, they cripple your mind and depersonalize.
I like the idea, and could see it appealing to the right person. For me though it’s the command line bible program you get with OpenBSD.

I never bought any, it seemed like a really Really REALLY REALLY stupid idea this whole time.

Just opt out, don’t be a cuck. Nobody NEEDS a Google account. Nobody. I de-Googled, feels great. Did it a decade back. If you want to fix up people’s PCs that’s great for you, personally I tell my people that if they want free tech advice to talk to me before a purchase becomes a problem so I can advise them on what to get. If they choose not to ask me first, they know not to bother me with problems they created themselves by failing to seek my free advice in the first place.

Much better than spending every free waking moment trying to teach people stuff they clearly have no desire or aptitude to learn. They can buy whatever garbage and get stuck with it on the whims they have, lol.

Just checked again, my red-faced bag holder chum. It actually closed down again. But let me guess, this is now the REAL time to buy the dip right? I see you bag holders trying this every time some PPT-supported stock drops.

Everybody knows their cloud / online stuff isn’t theirs, and tough love is really the best kind. Perpetual victims who repeatedly seek out and excuse abusers made their choices.

It’s only bounced back 1.2%, nobody wants to buy your bags lol.

Grow a spine, LOL. It was never, ever his account.

Check the TOS, it was never the user’s account.

Ruin 4chan and the whole internet becomes 4chan, you know this to be true.

Awful advice usually given by red-faced bag holders, lol. Wait for the real bottom, buy it IF it starts to recover.

COMEX is running lower on silver, their dumping is not sustainable. Could hit $500, $5000.
Re:IBM Stock has worst day on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @03:33PM (#48911907)
What does IBM even do? Something with India, and servicing legacy no-bid government pork contracts, as far as I can tell. That appears to be the focus and has been for a long time.
Re:No Spanish Reading Crisis? on Tuesday July 14, 2026 @03:28PM (#48911843)
The reading crisis is overblown, women dominate publishing and much of the output is geared toward female readers. Smut and photo-filled recipe books, Wiccan tween fiction. Men are happy reading classics and technical books.
The old torpedo executive trick, works great.
Thinking Machines is back? Or is this a jaded attempt to use the brand for cache?
Genetic engineering isn’t the same as selective breeding and I’m sure you know this. Confusing the two is shilly, even if you’re not a paid propagandist people will rightly assume you are if you try to confuse well defined terms like you just did.

Re:Trust your compiler: Modern C++ on Sunday July 05, 2026 @09:02AM (#48793988)
I’ve seen some terrible horrid nonsense from them and even the best compilers don’t use a third of the opcodes our modern CPUs boast of. Nobody understands the big compilers any more either, they’re all too huge. And soon AI will be “improving” hem too.

You want to see a beautiful compiler? Look at Plan 9’s compiler suite. A man could understand and even build on that.

The point of sites like these is to give people the illusion of power.

H Atari isn’t an online emulator, this is just an online build of it.

Re:No Systemd on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @02:04PM (#48736696)
systemd will never be done, it’s a scam designed to make Linux UN maintainable and incompatible and force businesses to buy service contracts from IBM.
Long Marchers spent like a half century wasting their lives, it turns out. Ahhhhh well, they’re nothing if not persistent.
Re:Old Computer Challenge on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @10:33AM (#48733261)
It’s Reddit coded. I agree.
WTF is an Anti-ICE Dad? Cutesy liberal-leftie term to disarm the reader?
