  • I saw the start menu. It’s definitely the search indexing on windows. That’s been broken since like Windows 10.

    If you search for something and it doesn’t show up, you can do a bunch of troubleshooting and reseting or you can download a launcher like microsoft power toys > power run.

    btw my OS died last week so now I’m officially on arch linux 😎

    Probably not significantly depending on what year you were 9. (I remember testing it between similar loading screens in games I like as a kid, but my hypothesis was that spamming would somehow make the computer realize I’m impatient.)






  • My blue heeler’s ears will react at key words.

    “frisbee” eyes widen, mouth slightly opens to reveal a fast excited pant, his chest puffs up andhis tail starts swinging with anticipation

    “bath” his nose tilts towards the floor, eyes looking up, ears flattened back, body moves closer to ground, tail stiff

    He also can read tone pretty well. He also can predict reactions. Running somewhere discrete when he licked up the cat food. Sitting on your chest if you’re sad. He’s basically a little kid.




  • Leaked IRS Memo Proves How Blatant Trump’s Slush Fund Theft Really Is

    The IRS knew Trump’s lawsuit could be easily thrown out in court. The Department of Justice didn’t listen. Donald Trump speaks at a podium

    The Internal Revenue Services’ own lawyers wanted to convince the Justice Department to dismiss Trump’s $10 billion case against them, outlining several massive issues with the lawsuit that could have served as defense against the suit, according to The New York Times. The DOJ instead chose to settle with the president, awarding him a nearly $1.8 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” a slush fund for his supporters and friends.

    The 25-page IRS memorandum was given to top Treasury officials last month but it’s unclear if it ever made it to the DOJ. The memo stated that Trump’s lawsuit was filed two years too late. Federal statute requires that people suing the IRS for unfairly released tax information must do so within two years of the infraction. Trump claimed not to have known about the tax information leak until January 2024, but the memo notes that Alina Habba—one of Trump’s personal lawyers—was present at the trial of IRS leaker Charles Littlejohn in October 2023. Trump did not file a complaint until January 2026, over two years later.

    The IRS also raised that it may not even be accountable for Littlejohn’s actions, as he was a contractor with Booz Allen with IRS access, not an IRS employee. Regardless of whether these arguments would have worked, it’s clear that the DOJ—controlled by another one of Trump’s personal lawyers—had no intention of making them.

    He could not have possibly won, which is why he forced the DOJ to settle.


  • Old code is insane. The coders at my work don’t want to touch the millions of lines of visual basic 6 and fortran that prop up the company. No loops. No encapsulation. Just assignment and soft validations.

    Co-pilot says that was considered safe back in the day. One team just triple checking things and sending to production. The comments suggest issues I have today have been issues and unaddressed for decades.

    I can’t get the code to compile and you have to pay MS if you want VB6 IDE, so all I can do is look at the ancient texts I barely understand and ponder its implications on my job.
