That Cyber Thread
If it wasn't obvious, it should have been. Windows 8 was the first OS that was clearly and unambiguously designed to benefit Microsoft, not the end user. It's been nothing but the same in years since. Switched OSs many, many, many years ago at this point and couldn't be happier. No regrets. Perhaps the biggest crime of all is how embedded Microsoft has become in all layers of our society. Government, primary school, college, business, etc. It's unconscionable that the government uses a single-source end-user OS. Going forward it would be far better if the government mandated that different OS's be used by different agencies to break Microsoft's soft monopoly - ala Burger King vs McDonald's on USAF vs Navy bases.

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
I was reliably told years ago that Putin was on the cusp of a total and complete victory. What's going on here?

Russian Ukraine shenanigans
Russia's industrial base getting hammered. Sea of Azov Russian shipping getting hammered. No gas/oil/supplies getting to Crimea. Starting to get sporty.

Closer to Putin thinking about using nukes.

That Cyber Thread
Microsoft caught yet again not informing users about the massive amount of tracking they do. Tracking that 3-letter agencies can use to target any individual using a windows based platform. They, like all tech companies, aren't interested in consumer protections, privacy, or capitalism: fair competition, better product, etc. I'll leave the political rant there, but I will not be using Windows 11 at home. Once Windows 10 dies (Oct 2027) I'm going to another platform, either Apple or Linux. I have a Apple Air laptop right now and it's just lovely. Fuck the guy that got caught in this article. He and his crew have caused a lot of turmoil and pain. I'm constantly surprised that this Administration hasn't declared these crews as either terrorist orgs, or as dangers to national security (economic/critical infrastructure). https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/07/10/you-cant-fully-disable-microsofts-gdid-windows-11-tracker-but-these-settings-limit-what-it-captures/

Lighten Up Francis!

Beyond this there are reports the Ukrainians tapped two felons on the ground. Russia only has about 20, losing 10% of your fleet to a drone attack should be a sobering warning to all.- The Next President is...
Clearly and I don't think the nuance is grasped by most. Protesting on the steps is prohibited...(odd given the 1st amendment, redressing your grievances with the government and a traditional public forum, but lawmakers pass whatever bullcrap they want to save themselves). There are two different issues here. First, the issue of breaking the law and protesting on the steps. That SHOULD be dealt with by the DC folks (but likely they will surrender jurisdiction to the military like most local governments do to save costs). Second, is a VERY clear violation of article 88. He is going to get bent over...I think he would justifiably by any administration but Pete rules with an iron fist and I would not be surprised if this dude gets some prison time, followed by reduction in rank, forfeiture of all pay and a dishonorable discharge.- 2027 ACTIVE DUTY UFT BOARD
Just keep pestering medical and your leadership to pester medical. Hope it comes through for you soon. I put Sheppard, Vance, Columbus, Laughlin and Fort Rucker- The Next President is...
Even Buttigieg? The most normal of that lot. Local politics, so it's even worse.- The Next President is...
The worst part is everyone will probably have to do a new CBT annually because of this dude.- Yesterday

Hopefully they don't make a martyr out of the guy. Just give him an lor and make him serve as long as you possibly can.- The Next President is...
'Nuff said. Case closed- The Next President is...
Looked mostly peaceful to me.- The Next President is...
After standing on the steps for approximately three minutes, Capitol Police arrested Air Force Maj Jason Watson under Washington, D.C., code 22-1307 Crowding, Obstructing and Incommoding because he was demonstrating on the steps without a member of Congress to accompany him. The best part... "Jessica Denson, founder of the Removal Coalition, was optimistic that after his arrest, Watson would be momentarily released from the courthouse, given that the D.C. attorney’s office dropped their charges against him. But that feeling was short-lived. “He was never released from custody, he was whisked away from the courthouse directly into Air Force custody,” Denson said." 🤣🤣🤣 FAFO!- The Next President is...

Let’s go!! Best of luck man. Nothing from my wing yet but hoping it’ll be about same deadline to get this medical secured. What base preferences do you guys have?- The Next President is...
What did he do/say?- The Next President is...
And DC Police don't arrest for UCMJ violations. My point is not about the man, his military affiliation, or his uniform, its about what he did/said and the resulting arrest.- The Next President is...
Article 88 - Officers Article 134 - Enlisted- The Next President is...
Good thing I’m enlisted 😎 F*** the president and the establishment! Totally kidding, I mostly like the guy’s work and it’s been a HELL of a lot better in the military since Biden and that dipshit secretary of defense left. Pete isn’t perfect tho. - Russian Ukraine shenanigans
