elon went on the most popular show about science and geekery and somehow came out looking like a dork (derogative)

because this: https://chicago.suntimes.com/consumer-affairs/2025/07/22/comed-electric-bills-hike-ai-data-centers-artificial-intelligence-power-pjm

also because its just a way for big tech to harvest your data while stilling content from creators and destroying the planet

also because instead of actually innovating any more tech companies just jam ai slop in everything

figures windows would have the steering wheel on the wrong side. it’s all backwards.

cobol’s mom has got it going on

the average user isn’t going to install linux; the average user is going to use the linux that came installed on their computer.

thankfully they posted no step in tiny letters at the edge of the giant wing
