I don’t read my replies
Windows11 sucks so bad. I was so excited to learn that Explorer and Notepad were getting tabs & Paint was getting layers. Only to find out that these core features weren’t being updated for users, but in the process of adding slop to the OS. Explorer was the worst, my address bar became an ad. And everything was buggy and broken.
And I know this isn’t just the Linux fanboy line because Microslop themselves had to apologize and walk-back some of the Copilot obnoxiousness.
One positive of AI is that the ownership class is getting a lesson in just how complex, flexible, reliable, and capable “unskilled” workers are. You can watch them realize in real time that a model capable of running a dinner-rush drive-thru would be a trillion dollar quantum leap.
The no1 reason to self-build is to save money. Obviously, this thing isn’t going to appeal to that crowd. For a pre-built, this price isn’t crazy. And the performance is fine for 1080p/1440p gaming.
So if you’re the kind of person who knows the GPU nomenclature by heart, you probably won’t buy this, but I still expect the thing to sell-out by virtue of being Valve.
I’m rooting for Valve’s success because that means wider Linux adoption.
Maximum freedom to post any topic without restrictions
This does not exist. There are many “topics” that automatically exclude others. A sub that tolerates fascism automatically excludes people of moral conviction or rational thought for example.
If you just want somewhere you can act out without criticism, I would recommend a chatbot.
One of the biggest Windows habits I’ve had to break is using file explorer to open documents and files. This was because memorizing file paths is way faster than using search. Search in Windows has never been good, because it’s always been weighted toward what Microslop wants you to find. And the index goes to shit if a user does something unexpected like saving, moving, or deleting files.
Linux search just works. If I know the file name, there is no reason to open a file explorer at all. Just mash the power key and start typing.
This is clickbait. Having hibernation and writing 32GB of RAM to the SSD are not “Windows 11”, but standard behavior on any OS with hibernation.
In my experience, the fragility and unreliably of M.2 and SSD has been greatly overstated.
The loneliest I’ve ever been was in a relationship and living together. I’ve never felt that way when I was actually alone.
When financial publications are giving advice on how to trade inside a bubble, that’s a leading indicator that the bubble is about to pop.
See, conservatives do believe in redistribution of wealth.
Microslop is nervous now that Linux is popular enough to attack.
The only reason to make a robot humanoid is to fuck it. Every other use-case doesn’t need human limitations or complexity.
Why design hips, knees, ankles, coordination, and balance when wheels exist?
Humanoid robots are a scam.
People on the internet who complain about “censorship” only come in two varieties.
let’s hear the Nazi out
Please say the bad word, dog I’m begging you, just say it. Let me say it.
Came here to find out what P word was. Saw that this was England and knew immediately.
It’s comforting as an American to know that Europe is still in the running for who can be the most racist.
My experience is that any object dependent on an app is invariably worse than the manual/old version.
I saw a clip from an interview with a “looks maxing” influencer. He was explaining how a date wasn’t really worth it unless he could stream it. The interviewer asked him “what about just hanging out with the girl and getting to know her”?
“where is the ROI in that”? 😱
The article has instructions to do exactly that.
Users who regularly install AUR packages should take the following steps immediately:
Run pacman -Qm to list all foreign (AUR) packages installed on your system and cross-reference against the published list of compromised packages
Audit recent PKGBUILD history for any packages installed between June 10–12, 2026
Rotate all credentials — browser passwords, SSH keys, API tokens, and cloud access keys — if any flagged package was installed
Scan for suspicious processes masquerading as kernel threads using tools like rkhunter or chkrootkit
Consider using AUR helpers with PKGBUILD review prompts enabled by default.
they somehow detect willful deception, like people expect polygraphs to do, but with high accuracy
This technology is a fantasy. It relies on the false assumption that their are detectable, reliable, and measurable physiological differences between bodies that are lying and bodies that are telling the truth.
Polygraphs aren’t unreliable because the technology isn’t ready. They’re unreliable because the idea that you can physically measure a concept (lying) is logical fallacy. (reification).
This is a common experience. But before you listen to the gender war bullshit about how it’s just not fair to be a man, consider some of the other explanations.
I’ve been abandoned, and I’ve been the friend who chose the girl. And I’ve learned some important things.
it’s the couple who forces friends to choose. most people would keep both relationships, but people going through breakups are myopic and insist.
I chose to be friends with the girl because she was a better friend. Not because I was endorsing her grievances.
I can’t blame my friends for choosing my ex. I would have abandoned any of them for her.
Water consumption has been way overblown. Sure if you’re in the Colorado River basin, water is absolutely an issue. But if your concerned with wasted water usage, all data centers combined would be a rounding error compared to what we throw away on turf grass.
Kyle Hill and Hank Green have both made videos about this I’m not crazy.
