July 4, 2025 @ 17:53 (!) Good evening – almost – family & friends❣️ I just got Don’s Guest Post posted [chia.owly.net/guest-post-from-…] and What I Eat [chiachow.net/what-i-eat] and Gloria’s pages updated [chia.owly.net/gloria]. Also of course is today video sharecast…but my head hurts and I am inexplicably sleepy after a long sleep last night and a long nap this afternoon so it’s time to shut down and I will see you in the morning. If you are into that sort of thing, enjoy the fireworks tonight and stay safe…see you in the morning❣️🙏🤕🌛💤

A little bit about me -

57-year-old high school IT Teacher who’s been “eastbound and down” the information superhighway since punch cards were cutting edge. I was born with a “special purpose”—teaching teenagers that the internet existed before TikTok.

When students ask why I’m so passionate about computer science, I tell them, “I am a righteous dude” who discovered the magic of Memes and never looked back. My downloading ... geeknerdcarp.blog/2025/07/04/a…

#VivaldiBrowser team has just released a new desktop update, Vivaldi 7.5

I personally love the new smooth way of interacting with Speed Dials and Dashboard elements (Widgets), the new Mail and Calendar look, as well as the new Ad Blocker supported rules (badfilter, strict3p, and strict1p).

P.S. Related to the **real bugs** hotel: vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-de…. Does anyone know where I can find the #drill in the photo? I like it. It must be as powerful as #VivaldiBrowser. Maybe it even has a button to change its colour 😀
Please, do you know where to get it from? Possibly on the Vivaldi Store? TY!🙏

BRICS has expanded to 20 countries – 10 members and 10 partners – after adding Vietnam. BRICS+ now makes up 44% of world GDP (PPP) and 56% of the global population. The US failed to divide China and Vietnam in its Second Cold War.

I never said it wasn't political, every trade agreement is political. What I said is #BRICS is not a military or political alliance it is an alternative system of multi polar trading free of interference from the current US hegemony system where international trade requires trading in US dollars.

For example, New Zealand, which is not even a #BRICS member country, has a FTA with its biggest trading partner China that means NZ and China can freely trade with each other in their own currencies.

I have no idea what argument David is trying to make. His initial comment was that BRICS doesn’t appear to be a unified bloc pointing to the relationship between India and China. Which is why I pointed out the fact BRICS is not a political or military alliance but a cooperative economic system of trade.

USA’s 3 largest trading partners are Mexico, Canada, and China. It would be ridiculous to assume this makes these countries a unified political bloc.

Ironically, since Trump introduced his tariffs India, Japan, South Korea and the ASEAN member nations have all agreed to increase their economic and political cooperation with China.

The unexplained death of a top Russian oilexecutive on July 4 is fueling renewed scrutiny over the rising number of high-profile Russian officials and businessmen who have died under mysterious circumstances -- specifically, have fallen out of windows.
Andrei Badalov, vice president of Transneft, Russia's largest state-controlled pipeline transport company, died after falling from the window of his apartment in Moscow.
Russian state news agency TASS, citing law enforcement sources, claimed the preliminary cause of death was suicide.
While Russian authorities often label these falls as suicides or accidents, others suggest something more deliberate may be at play

How brutal is Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’? The answer is in the charts:

📉 Millions lose Medicaid
💸 Student debt payments spike
🌍 Climate investment gutted
📈 $3T deficit explosion
All to shower billionaires in tax cuts. One big, draconian mess 👇 #press

That Big Bullshit bill, among other horrors, bloats the ICE gestapo budget to a genocidal degree. And here’s why….the first is a history is truly horrible, starting with the vile activities of COINTELPRO.

There is finally a genuine counter-culture push against this, described adroitly here. The BBC is a complete load of crap.

And Chris lays out the vile profiteers who will be behind the coming genocide against the American people. Because genocide is profitable. And bonus! Cruelty is the point for many of these shits. IBM, MIT, Microsoft, Palantir, BP, Chevron, Blackrock, Amazon, “Alphabet” (google), so on ad nauseam.

Nunca digas que has sido hacker


Nunca digas que has sido hacker, la gente no te preguntará por tus conocimientos o tus hazañas, en vez de eso todo cambiará, te mirarán con desconfianza y te tendrán miedo, te echarán la culpa de los fallos de sus sistemas, y creerán que con el roce de un teclado sabrás su contraseña y que puedes destruir satélites o provocar un caos global, y si eres desarrollador nunca probarán tus aplicaciones por miedo a ser infectados con el virus más sofisticado que puedas imaginar. Entiendo el miedo de la gente que no entiende, pero la vida no es una película, o sí? 🎥
