Luckily for Powell, the prosecutors working for Trump are generally unqualified morons.

So glad my kids can start getting political propaganda pushed on them at 13 without my consent. Thanks Google.

I have a feeling that the HN hypebeasts have a lot of overlap with the folks that previously used to copy/paste blindly from StackOverflow.

It's just Arch Linux with hyprland pre-configured and bunch of pre-installed software.

People have been flocking to it for reasons like

1. They don't want to configure hyprland themselves.

2. They want to say they are running an "elite" distro like Arch.

3. They're part of DHH's weird following that is a mix of insufferable smugness and right-wing politics.


Are you a fan of the FBI director’s Trump worshiping children’s book?


Don’t forget the child porn generator.

Details reported today suggest to me he's more than just a billionaire edgelord:

https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/08/tech/elon-musk-xai-digital-un...

> Musk has pushed back against guardrails for Grok [...] Musk has “been unhappy about over-censoring” on Grok “for a long time.” [...] At one meeting in recent weeks before the latest controversy erupted, Musk held a meeting with xAI staffers from various teams where he “was really unhappy” over restrictions on Grok’s Imagine image and video generator

...how are the shareholders not in revolt over this?


The stock seems completely disconnected from the antics of Musk. I would think that having a CEO who is clearly a heavy ketamine user and spends more time playing politician than actually running the company would have a negative impact on the stock, but tesla's stock has been divorced from reality for a long time.

The shareholders have always been revolting. The question is why are they not rebelling.

This looks like it was just political theater.

Par for the course for Ken Paxton, one of the most blatantly corrupt politicians in the US.


It truly is unbelievable how out in the open corrupt he is, and last time I checked, he is the front runner for the US Senate in Texas.

Republicans have quite a few of these sorts of folks. See Rick Scott rewarded with multiple elections to office after leading the largest medicare fraud settlement in our nations history. Republicans are convinced government doesn't work and try their best to put the people in office to prove it.

Yeah, the meat industry has successfully tied meat consumption to the American ideal of masculinity and there is an endless supply of insecure men that buy into the world of bro-science.

Sources for this?

Leo Laporte's TWiT podcast network is the only thing that comes somewhat close but it still falls well short of CC or TechTV.

YouTube has a few quality channels but they tend to fit into a particular niche. The bigger names are just lowest common denominator slop like LinusTechTips.
