My TV controller has a dedicated Netflix button. Around 2 months ago I sat on it and it started playing a movie. Turns out “meh, it seems about right” is not a good way to check your credit card statements.

Don’t worry, we all went through that phase.

Don’t worry, buddy. You’ll get there.

It’s Ubuntu for people who think Ubuntu is for noobs. A little bit further ahead, you find Ubuntu again.

Ubuntu and Mint need to be repeated on the far right (the actual Sesame Street definition of “right”, not Nazis)

I can see it already:

() Just Google Play (safe)

() Verified apps (not recommended)

Advanced settings

click on Advanced settings

() All sources (Unsafe. Will probably kill your cat and burn down your house)

tick the box

Are you sure?

click yes

ARE YOU SURE?

click yes again

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SURE?

wait for the 30 seconds timer to count down

click yes

( ) I do not love my cat and want him to die.

tick the box

( ) I accept the very real risk of my house burning down

tick the box

Please wait 24 hours for the change to apply. You can reverse it at any time from this menu.

get spammed every hour for the next 24 hours with notifications asking me to fix my security settings

get a bigass ⚠️ every time I turn on the phone

every once in a while the change just straight up reverses and I have to do it all over again

And this is how I learned about the shutting down of NSW2U

Do you play games? If so, do you really not see the jaggies?

I’m guessing that’s why it’s weird

I highly doubt they can’t stop it and slightly suspect they don’t want to. You can install any version of Windows (even enterprise), use MASgrave, wipe the whole thing, reinstall it, and it’ll pass online activation as genuine. There’s just no way that’s an accident.

Is Linux desktop marketshare increasing or is desktop marketshare decreasing as a whole, though?

If you’re sitting on a Windows 10 machine that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, or if you’re tired of Apple’s walled garden, now’s the time to explore PureOS, a FSF endorsed GNU/Linux distribution.

God damn it. This is how you scare people away from Linux.

Figured it out! It’s not hard. It’s actually quite easy. It just gives zero fucks about letting you know the level of the enemies or the areas where they are. I got a quest to gather some flowers at level 5 and was told they could be found in the outskirts of the city so I went south out of chance. Turns out that’s 20ish level area. Perhaps the same happened to you.

Dragon’s Dogma. WTF? Why did nobody tell me it was good? Why do people describe it as “hack and slash”? It’s a proper ARPG. Also, do I just suck or is it actually this hard?

Come to think of it. Mint and Arch users do have that in common.

Whatever you want. Copyright was literally invented to steal from creators anyway.

3rd party stores count as verified.

They asked chatgpt 4 about chatgpt 5 power consumption.

This.

Side note: I find it hilarious that we’re paying for piracy. Gabe was right, it’s a service issue.

The team measured GPT-5’s power consumption by combining two key factors: how long the model took to respond to a given request, and the estimated average power draw of the hardware [they believe is] running it.

Congrats. Want a cookie?
