Glandalf··on Count Binface receives over a quarter of votes in Clacton by-election
BBC’s the State media, run by British Intel. THEY create the narrative, and we know what they think of Farage and Reform.
Glandalf··on Count Binface receives over a quarter of votes in Clacton by-election
So Binface lost? What happened to all the Internet energy, likes, shares, and blog and social media posts?

Maybe Farage was always destined to win.

I don’t “hate” like you do, you seem awfully young and frustrated. You’ll mellow out, just steer clear of the shrinks and brain pills, they cripple your mind and depersonalize.
Glandalf··on Show HN: BibleFollow – Scroll the Bible instead of doomscrolling
I like the idea, and could see it appealing to the right person. For me though it’s the command line bible program you get with OpenBSD.
Glandalf··on Probably check on your smart appliances
I never bought any, it seemed like a really Really REALLY REALLY stupid idea this whole time.

Just opt out, don’t be a cuck. Nobody NEEDS a Google account. Nobody. I de-Googled, feels great. Did it a decade back. If you want to fix up people’s PCs that’s great for you, personally I tell my people that if they want free tech advice to talk to me before a purchase becomes a problem so I can advise them on what to get. If they choose not to ask me first, they know not to bother me with problems they created themselves by failing to seek my free advice in the first place.

Much better than spending every free waking moment trying to teach people stuff they clearly have no desire or aptitude to learn. They can buy whatever garbage and get stuck with it on the whims they have, lol.

Glandalf··on IBM is on pace for its worst day ever
Just checked again, my red-faced bag holder chum. It actually closed down again. But let me guess, this is now the REAL time to buy the dip right? I see you bag holders trying this every time some PPT-supported stock drops.

Everybody knows their cloud / online stuff isn’t theirs, and tough love is really the best kind. Perpetual victims who repeatedly seek out and excuse abusers made their choices.
Glandalf··on IBM is on pace for its worst day ever
It’s only bounced back 1.2%, nobody wants to buy your bags lol.

Grow a spine, LOL. It was never, ever his account.

Check the TOS, it was never the user’s account.
Glandalf··on No Spanish reading crisis?
Ruin 4chan and the whole internet becomes 4chan, you know this to be true.
Glandalf··on IBM is on pace for its worst day ever
Awful advice usually given by red-faced bag holders, lol. Wait for the real bottom, buy it IF it starts to recover.
Glandalf··on IBM is on pace for its worst day ever
COMEX is running lower on silver, their dumping is not sustainable. Could hit $500, $5000.
Glandalf··on IBM is on pace for its worst day ever
What does IBM even do? Something with India, and servicing legacy no-bid government pork contracts, as far as I can tell. That appears to be the focus and has been for a long time.
Glandalf··on No Spanish reading crisis?
The reading crisis is overblown, women dominate publishing and much of the output is geared toward female readers. Smut and photo-filled recipe books, Wiccan tween fiction. Men are happy reading classics and technical books.
Glandalf··on Nokia’s years of mobile-phone supremacy ended in an afternoon
The old torpedo executive trick, works great.
Glandalf··on The Future Worth Building Is Human
Thinking Machines is back? Or is this a jaded attempt to use the brand for cache?
Glandalf··on Farmer, marketer at odds over sales of white nectarines
Genetic engineering isn’t the same as selective breeding and I’m sure you know this. Confusing the two is shilly, even if you’re not a paid propagandist people will rightly assume you are if you try to confuse well defined terms like you just did.
Glandalf··on Dungeon KeeperFX 1.4.0 with Multiplayer Released
It’s unfortunate that this is Wintel only.
Glandalf··on A gender-swap EarthBound for my daughter (2025)
Gendering your child? What is this the 1950’s?
Glandalf··on Trust your compiler: Modern C++
I’ve seen some terrible horrid nonsense from them and even the best compilers don’t use a third of the opcodes our modern CPUs boast of. Nobody understands the big compilers any more either, they’re all too huge. And soon AI will be “improving” hem too.

You want to see a beautiful compiler? Look at Plan 9’s compiler suite. A man could understand and even build on that.

Glandalf··on Stop handwaving away nearly every petition that gains traction on this website
The point of sites like these is to give people the illusion of power.
Glandalf··on Hatari – Online Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon Emulator
H Atari isn’t an online emulator, this is just an online build of it.
Glandalf··on Show HN: HackerNows – Native iOS HN Client
Is it vibe coded? Sorry I ask this about ALL software now.
Glandalf··on No Systemd
systemd will never be done, it’s a scam designed to make Linux UN maintainable and incompatible and force businesses to buy service contracts from IBM.
Glandalf··on Supreme Court takes sledgehammer to federal regulatory structure
Long Marchers spent like a half century wasting their lives, it turns out. Ahhhhh well, they’re nothing if not persistent.
Glandalf··on Old Computer Challenge
It’s Reddit coded. I agree.
Glandalf··on Feds Tracked Down an Anti-ICE Dad in NYC Hotel, but How?
WTF is an Anti-ICE Dad? Cutesy liberal-leftie term to disarm the reader?
Glandalf··on Help Keep Thunderbird Alive
Mozilla gets like 500 trillion a year from Google, no, I will not give money.
