Seriously, why the fsck would anyone care?! Maybe you should learn the language of the land you are visiting, or not be pissed that you have trouble communicating.

Russian oil chief Maganov dies in ‘fall from hospital window’ – BBC News

Fsck with the bear…

One of the most disingenuous motherfsckers in all the world. He trusts no […]

Indian troops join Russian military exercise

While nowhere near as offensive as China’s recent global behavior, I will not simply give a pass to India’s warming to Russian actions.

India has no loyalty. It is simply not something that one should expect from them. We gave India over $200,000,000 for Covid relief. In fact, we have given India over $65,000,000,000 since […]

The Plan

In the beginning, there was a plan, And then came the assumptions, And the assumptions were without form, And the plan without substance,

Windows Firewall Control

Recently found this application via Wilders Security forums. Windows Firewall Control is so good, Malwarebytes bought it and hired it’s creator!

Give it a good look, it is uber powerful. But be quick – Malwarebytes has promised to delete this one from the internet at some point:

Fatten Windows Boarders

What were the developers thinking back with WIndows 8? 1 Pixel window boarders are some kind of hell for everyone. It just goes to show how totally ignorant Microsoft developers are to real world use scenarios.
