Almost immediately after getting rid of the annual invasion of black sugar ants in the apartment, the third different species in two years has taken over my car. And apparently everyone else around here is suffering too, because the closest store was completely out of all ant baits of any kind by any brand. It's not a very Buddhist thing of me to say, but right now, I want to burn these fuckers in hellfire. What is much less problematic to say is that I fucking DESPISE summer for this and a...

Why does a fucking MONITOR need an application, and why is it installed automatically via the OS update mechanism? Even for Windows, this is heinous. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/07/microsoft-responds-to-lg-monitors-installing-mcafee-ads-on-windows/

In the newest edition of "UPSs are awesome and everyone with a non-portable device should own one", we appear to have had a power outage for 2 hours and 1 minute while I was at work. My desktop never shut down.

&quot;The complaint alleges that the makers behind the dating app Meete took that video without Lunglhofer’s consent, overlayed it with graphics advertising the app, and added a voiceover to make it appear she was saying “Are you looking for a friend with benefits? This app shows you women around you who are looking for some fun. You can video chat with them.” Abe Pafford, Lunglhofer’s attorney, told CyberScoop that his client had no idea Meete was using her likeness until a male student in...

Good on her. We need to restore public funding in the long term, but I&#39;m sure this helps immensely as a stopgap. https://apnews.com/article/trevor-project-mackenzie-scott-fcb6187f61943fd63ad559b5e2a23a57

Okay Linux people, I&#39;m in a bad way over here. My Ubuntu desktop will not boot. I get to LUKS decryption, I enter my pw, and it goes to an initramfs terminal. fsck gives a massive amount of &quot;./.. is missing. fix?&quot; stuff, along with messages asking me if I want to force overwrites (which I said no to).
