“Go edit the source” is starting to look like the new “let them eat cake”.

How quickly you trivialize the work of the experienced kde devs that some pedestrian can wander in and mod a large project without fear.

Dear Systemd: get back in your tiny lane you bloated mess.

The rumours suggest China is harvesting organs from uighar prisoners. What’s to stop them from using them to test various chemicals?

Fedora

Any RPM-based system has exemplary validation and, as long as we don’t throw it out with flatsnappimages, it presents a very clean and maintainable install.

Extra points for PCLinuxOS which has avoided lennart’s cancer.

No points for SuSE as they continue to exist as the over engineered bastard child of slackware and RPM, like slackware met 73deJeff on a trip and let the tequila do the talking. Mamma mia!

Now do WoW on an Intel HD530 !

Do low-end laptops come with 1660Ti chips?

I thought houses would look drastically different in the future

I’m only impressed to learn that the houses for sale in this area for 1.8m are 110 years old and 110x as expensive as when built.

I’m supposed to wade through all the log files in /var/log myself??

You configured your logging. You could have made them all one file.

predictable and consistent.

Or none of those.

Oh. My NIC didn’t ‘start’ because systemd and network manager are fighting again? Neet.

But why?

I a world where we can’t really be sure what’s in an upgrade, a super-clean start that burns any ephemeral data is about the best way to ensure a consistent start.

And consistency gives reliability, as much as we can get without validation (validation is “compare to what’s correct”, but consistency is “try to repeat whatever it was”).

Before t9, this could save time. After t9, it was needless and tired. In my circle, now, we call that kid-pidgin.

T9 was a mid-'90s thing. We are now closer to a 3c warming target than we are to pre-T9 texting.

breakeven

Not a word, my dude.

Former OS security here (I worked at an OS vendor who sold an OS or two and my job involved keeping it secure).

Fuck no.

Sorry if that makes you downvote, but it doesn’t make them safer.

seen a “homeless” guy beg for money, with a cardboard sign. Then goes and gets into his sports car and drives off.

This isn’t new: 20-20 used to do exposés on this kind of thing, and profiled (tailed) a beggar on the tonnele off-ramp and circle as he walked to his car, put his over-costume in his trunk, and drove off. This was in like 1999. On interviewing him, he admitted he made decent coin.

Support your food banks. They need cash.

lionshare

Lion’s hare? That’s weird.

Did you mean “lion’s share”, but couldn’t write?

30 years ago we called this Beepilepsy. You fail History.

able to open their browser and look something up without immediately getting distracted by the 6 tabs

That’s the methylphenidate talking.

anymore money.

1. any more money
2. money anymore

You can’t straddle the lanes: you have to pick one.

Instantly distrust.

2024

New building code for rentals stipulates one room must be capable of cooling to 26c or lower. This building was built to that code.

So we have AC. It’s fantastic.
