It's literally true that most of the US government is Zionist. But "Zionist-Occupied Government" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory used by white supremacists with specific and incorrect beliefs about how Zionism works in the US and how it formed into what we're all facing today.

At least flat-earthers get a useful locally-true approximation of the shape of the Earth from their conspiracy theory.

There's just a lot of money in drinking the AGI LLM VC WN koolaid. Not everyone has drank that koolaid.

I only get "See this post in the app" with "Use the app to view all comments and discover more posts." with only an "Open X" button in that dialogue.

There is no button to disable this. I can only see the text by using "Page Zoom" buttons on my phone, so it's really not worth it.

For example, X has 816K and X AI has 135K reports. Reddit, despite having 200M (36%) more MAU, only has 65K reports. OpenAI, despite having about 8x MAU than X.ai, has 182K reports.

This is not one of "those situations".

Since September of 2025, Apple has been changing longstanding norms about how they push updates to our devices, to try and raise adoption rates for Liquid Glass. A lot of us, myself included, believe Apple has been acting deceptively there.

If you, like me, have been trying to stay off Liquid Glass on any of your devices, you should know that Apple recently pushed a new update for iOS 18 users. The update has the iOS 18 icon, but an "Update to iOS 26" label, and then a fuller page which explains that the update will install iOS 18.7.8.

That's just a lie, the phone installs iOS 26 instead.

Reports are that this is happening to other Apple operating systems. I can confirm I get a similar prompt on a device running iPadOS 18. I already got tricked into installing MacOS 26 Tahoe, so I can't personally confirm if something similar comes up for pre-Tahoe MacOS devices.

TLDR: If you don't want Liquid Glass on your Apple devices, ignore the prompts which install a patch release, they are actually installing the major release with Liquid Glass.

The point I am making is that, of the listed languages, Python is far more comparable to Bash than the others. Suppose you had no choice but to use one of the following executables in place of /usr/bin/bash

- go - gcc - rustc - node - python

You would choose Python, of course. Plausibly node, but certainly not any of the other three.

> Comparing the shell to C, Go, Rust, Python, or JavaScript is crazypants. It has a different job than those, so of course it will look and feel different!

The point was just a small one, that Python is not like the others. C, Go, and Rust do not come with REPLs. Node is plausible to use as an OS shell but I've never heard of anyone doing that. Python is the only one of those I've used as a shell or have heard of others using as a shell.

Again, I'm not advocating for Python as a good general-purpose shell. I'm only making the small claim that C, Go, Rust, and (to a smaller extent) JavaScript cannot be be used like bash. Python could be used as a shell.

Of the languages listed in GP, only Python and JavaScript are scripting languages with REPLs like Bash. Of those two, Python is far more serviceable for what one uses bash for, even in embedded applications (with MicroPython).

Perl, Awk, Ruby, and Lua are also scripting languages one can use in the course of OS scripting. (Your distro probably uses some combination of these, including Python.) Of these, at least Ruby can also be used as a shell.

> Pray tell which one of the myriad is the true one?

You've basically got it, that's just `which python`

I use Python for longer scripts where script maintainability is a priority and external libraries are unnecessary, and as a general shell when I also want my shell to be a calculator, especially when computing on a smartphone (with an appropriate pythonrc).

The key thing is that I already know Python and I find Python's warts more palatable than those on Bash.

It's so frustrating to be so pregnant with an idea, to open ones iPad, and to find out the battery is low, Procreate isn't working, the Notes app is confusing to navigate, oh no you're writing but your palm has slid on the screen, etc.

I've spent a lot of time searching for a digital alternative, but IMO we're at least a decade away from digital handwriting being even close to on-par with paper, even ignoring friction and feel.

I am only being literal when I say this, but as someone who is actively keeping an eye out for this sort of thing (CSS frameworks, UI kits), I lost interest pretty immediately when I saw that and closed the tab immediately. Assuming the people who made this page also made the UI kit, it tells me their web design values run contrary to mine.

I don't even fall into one of the exceptional cases, and this was a very bad using-a-website experience for me.

There is another section titled "Alarming Things", with a subsection titled "It’s Fucking Full of RCEs". (Those are RCEs other than those which simply derive from the issues pointed out in previous subsections).
