It has just never occurred to me that what I need while surfing the arch wiki at 3am are some thigh high socks.

So yeah, it’s me not society. Society can go fuck itself though, and if I had to wear them in solidarity with my linux fam, I probably would, just not as a regular thing.

(and i have some hairy legs, I refuse to shave them so I don’t imagine them looking that great on me either ahah)

fedora, debian and arch linux user here, and no, as a man, I ain’t rocking thigh-high socks, but if I was a woman, hell yeah I would.

giving AI the power to do things on your PC will lead to cases like:

Google’s Agentic AI wipes user’s entire HDD without permission in catastrophic failure

I love doing this.

And Carcentriphobia hasn’t gone far enough!

I like how Dell has all this data, and still somehow believe that AI will help sell Windows 11, and also seem to think that Apple’s affordable products are the only alternative option for those holding out on updating to windows 11.

Oh wait, look at this headline from 3 weeks ago, “Microsoft signs $9.7 billion cloud deal with IREN as AI demand swells”.

AI-server maker Dell was also up about 1%, as it would provide IREN with Nvidia’s GB300 chips and other equipment that Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab will use for about $5.8 billion.

Oh wait, they only care about their corporate customers, what’s new? Water is wet?

I downvoted because not understanding the hate for windows 11 is really just due to ignorance at this point. I mean, not everyone is a power user, but windows has been on the steady decline for at least 10 years now. Enshittification isn’t some new concept.

hmm, I started playing it a few months back, firs time playing bloodborne, and the experience was ruined as soon as I got to the unseen village, with those huge “things” everywhere, my FPS went from a cool 50 -75 to barely scraping 20. Sucks, had to stop playing, I will test this later and report!

Just my 2 cents, but I would think abiding by international standards, which cover the environmental concerns of the entire Earth, so to speak, seems a bit much, no? Wouldn’t the environmental concerns differ substantially by country? Not saying that how we treat the environment, people and businesses alike, isn’t similar country to country, but things like % contribution to global carbon emissions might change what a country like India needs to do over what Canada does, right?

appears to be from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Surprised I haven’t read that yet, but yeah. That passage seems to be about relationships and status that you’d gain with freedom and choice.

I guess I just fear making a good thing into something tiresome, like how when I use one of my favourite songs as an alarm, I eventually start hating the song I once loved. But then again, I guess finding new ways to see things could prevent this, maybe.

I would imagine a clean install, over just an update from x11 to wayland, might work better, since applications might still expect x11, and fail to render or work properly.

I used gnome with wayland and an Nvidia gpu maybe a couple years back, and it worked pretty well. I’d give it another go. mutter, gnome’s wayland compositor is actually pretty good compared to most others.

Linux is about freedom and community. Sucks that there’s this stupid beef with people who ultimately love the same thing, maybe one just likes a trusted solution and the other likes the successor that’s far from perfect, but at the end of the day, it’s your system! You are the master of your machine, fuck what anyone likes, just do you!

it might be over an hour long, Linus S. said, so it might take some time.

Yeah, I somewhat feel sorry for some people, but for the vast majority, it’s a vice that’s easy to avoid. Money isn’t a game to me, and I find it weird how so many people like to parade around talking about their winnings, but never disclose how much they lost.

Maybe some of the music I produce, but then again, i do enjoy not having the demands of a huge fanbase or other public pressure to create. So, theres pros and cons

welp, I caved and started letting my kid play roblox, where I would check in every now and then to make sure they weren’t chatting and just playing games.

But I might just roll back on this, and let other parents know what’s up too. Some parents are completely out of the loop with anything tech related, even in this day and age.

I mean, they need us! Why the fuck are we all putting up with their shit???

Because, many people are stupid, and will put up with shit because they only care about the game, and nothing else.

But I do agree, the industry would benefit from a more informed audience, but who are we kidding, name a single industry of media where the lowest common denominator isn’t the mass majority of it’s consumers.

has anyone seen proof from the discord server in question that the 200 or so people who were fired, out of the 500+ members of the discord server were specifically talking about forming a union, or did they just fire a bunch of people incidentally?

I think Rockstar is just too big to fail, at this point. Not saying they aren’t capable of anything shady or unjust, but where’s the proof of anything, and how many people are really going to boycott a game that will likely break records in the gaming industry save for some catastrophic world event, like another pandemic or world war?

Same, I had to double check the article lol. Rust next to the word developer was a sort of short-sighted phrasing.

RIP to all the music we lost due to unintended carelessness 🫡

Yeah, I pretty much had a similar linux pathway, started with kubuntu -> ubuntu -> arch (manjaro, then endevour os) -> Nobara. I was afraid of NixOS so I avoided it, might try it one day if I’m feeling spicy.

I’ve yeeted entire boot partitions and learned the hard way not to mess with what I can’t handle haha.

what music client do you use? I’m using mpd + rmpc right now, finally found something that’s customizable and powerful.
