Alongside this new behavior, Microsoft is testing a new UI design for Edge that more closely resembles Copilot. Edge and Copilot are becoming one of the same, with the latest Copilot update dropping its native Windows app in favor of an Edge powered web wrapped experience.

Investors care too much about greenbacks, so there.

We’re past that stage. They’re back to "It’s you!

No, they’re more like the “If I can’t have you, no one can,” vibecode.

Like everything a techbro behemoth acquires?

They’ll be on shock collars and heavily surveilled by then.

I found this article by checking out a banned user’s profile in modlog!

I did say I don’t think the billionaire class cares about collapsing entire national societies.

Here you go, since we don’t want to trigger any seizures! https://sh.itjust.works/post/57582014

Weird. I have a “cheap” device on the legacy list, and apart from mild latency and general ugliness, I had no issues.

What happened? Apparently my crappy browser handled something for me.

Dissenters?

It’s good information about how bad the app really is. People should not dismiss the information because of the crappy website complaints.

Cool. Now they can kill women and harvest uteruses.

To reiterate:

But “We’re building this because of China” is not the same as “We’re building this because it serves American interests regardless of what a competitor does.” One is a political accelerant, the other a foundation. Accelerants burn out. A programme that takes decades to complete needs both. America has tested this. In the 1960s it built the most extraordinary exploration programme in history, landed on the Moon six times—and then walked away. Not because the technology failed, but because the competitive rationale that sustained it had been satisfied. America forfeited half a century of lunar presence because the race was over. Some will argue that, unlike with the Soviet Union, competition with China is structural and lasting. Perhaps. But the cold war itself lasted four decades, and the Moon was a priority for fewer than ten of those years. Enduring rivalry does not guarantee enduring attention to any single programme. The competitive gaze shifts. NASA’s new plan, much better in its architecture, is vulnerable to the same fate if competition with China remains its only load-bearing wall.

WebinarTV, a company that bills itself as “a search engine for the best webinars,” is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links, recording the calls, and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for profit. In some cases, people only found out that their Zoom calls were recorded once WebinarTV reached out to them directly to say their call was turned into a podcast in an attempt to promote WebinarTV’s services. WebinarTV claims to host more than 200,000 webinars. It’s not clear how it’s recording so many Zoom calls without permission, but in some cases the stolen videos posted to WebinarTV can put call participants at risk. Tom Rademacher, a teacher and editor, told me he organized a Zoom call for educators and education advocates in the months after Donald Trump was elected to discuss keeping kids safe from ICE. “I very intentionally did not record the webinar since we’d be talking politics and there were some local electeds and district leaders that were on,” Rademacher told me. “There were definitely people on there who it would have been bad politically and professionally to be, especially at the time, linked to being anti-Trump in an education space.” Rademacher received an email on October 7, 2025, from WebinarTV VP of communications Sarah Blair, whose profile image appears to be AI-generated and who has no online presence. “Your webinar is featured on the Phil & Amy Show,” Blair said in her email. “They talk about the highlights from your webinar - without giving away too much - to entice viewers. To listen to the show, click Highlights tab on the OnDemand page or click here.”

You can bet they do.

States are partnering with schools to offer free welding, truck driving, health education. Maybe yours is one. Apply for emergency public benefits. Catholic charities often will give a grocery gift card. Salvation Army for clothing, possible rent assistance. LHEAP for energy assistance. It’s long, grueling, humiliating process but getting education helps qualify you for public benefits.

Edit: volunteering can help qualify for public assistance and offer training in other skills, but make sure it’s DSS approved.

Your tax dollars at work!
