I’m really rooting for SteamOS :D

More OS competition the better. As both a windows and Linux user I can tell you 100% Microsoft has been prioritizing data collection over productivity, ease of use and hardware longevity.

Their OS has become more cluttered and awkward than ever

It takes days to clear out all the pop-ups and disable all the things you don’t want. I find the ways of configuring networks and hardware is becoming more convoluted yet no more capable than window XP; nor any simpler.

To disable copilot AI assistant it took IT over a day to figure out. In our business we are legally not permitted to share client data with third parties for any reason. It required doing some obscure command line situation not documented outside of a forum post on Microsoft’s support forums. Same with installing without a Microsoft account and disabling one drive.

Unfortunately we also need to be able to use commercial software that isn’t supported under Linux and sometimes need more obscure software that is Windows only, so we are a bit stuck.

At home I use a couple Linux OSes on my workstation and servers. They are genuinely programmed to operate in as efficient and clean way as possible and I can build from there. It runs just as reliably on 15 year old hardware as it does on my latest rig. I also have a MacBook that runs really well, works seamlessly with my servers, offers the same terminal experience I have on my *nix workstations and never crashes.

*Nixes are more straight-forward, better documented and starts with most addons turned off. If you want, you can install an AI assistant. You certainly won’t have to choose to waste a day figuring out how to disable a pre-installed AI assistant or paying someone hundreds of dollars to disable it.

And I shouldn’t even start on how much a pain in the ass drive letters and fucking backslashes that need to be escaped/unescaped and translated to/from OS-X/*nix paths in data stores… And what the fuck they can’t get a proper sym-link implementation going?

They shoulda done what Apple did with OSX. Recognize OS-9 was saddled with too much complicated under-structure and start over with a clean, mature, standardized, optimized and extensible *nix. NT was a huge improvement over the OG windows, but it’s time for another refresh and what they got cooking with power Shell, Linux subsystem and their obsession with data collection and forcefeeding one cloud/copilot/accounts is not good.

Ah hell, you got me going. I’m ramblin again.

Point is, I’ve daily driven Win, OSX and *nix for decades. Hell, I started with MS-DOS 'cause Windows took too much space on my state-of-the-art 286 with 1 meg of RAM and have been a windows user for the majority of my life. Windows is the most convoluted and bloated and least secure of all the OSes. They’ve only kept their dominance through educating a generation of engineers on .net/direct-x, locking companies in with Office/outlook and promising corporations to spy on employees…

…The end.

Dude! 256 colors!

Wonder if anyone’s given effort to synthesize it. Name like snake oil would fly off shelves like liquid death and emergen-c combined

Hell yeah! It’ll be super satisfying to give your system a good cleaning and upgrade. Enjoy!

When does Bolton’s tenure end? I’ve seen this guys named on so many shit shows for a really, really long time… Warhawk temper-tantrum weirdo

Oh just looked it up in wikipedia. He’s held some office during Regan, George HW, George W and Donald’s presidency… Doing shit show work all along the way. His tenure is ended, if we vote accordingly

Plz vote; kthx!

Yeah, looks like the bot needs a little attention from the devs

I second this.

I have a nextcloud instance on pi4 for personal use and love it.

It’s not good for live transcoding of video, but works great for calendars, file sharing, photo sharing and music streaming.

I have a 500 gig SSD for most stuff and a 6TB HDD for backups and archiving.

I use docker compose to map a folder called archive in my instance to the HDD.

In theory this should be cheaper to manufacture as it eliminates making and assembling the anode and it is made of much cheaper and abundant materials compared to standard lithium ion batteries.

Even if it’s the super amazing thing with no caveats, I suspect it will take at least 5years to get to market and probably 10 to really get to scale.

Dr. Meng is the real deal. With her name on it, it’s definitely not not to be written off as vaporware. This is super exciting :)

I thin there should be a proper study and maybe proposal to Legalize and lightly-regulate class-A drugs so the Cartel loses their main revenue stream, black market drugs.

I am pulling this out my butt, but Im betting the main source of capital in the cartel’s economy is wealthy people buying drugs. Poor people too, but Im betting the wealthy addicts with jobs and clean records contribute more.

If we rerouted those funds to actual tax-revenue-generating jobs the Cartel mightlosee somepowera and our economy wouldn’t be leaking so much money to the illegal drug trade.

Srsly, fashion takes time and money and thought.

If any of those in short supply ya jes wear what you got

sudo apt install python3 didnt do it?

Holy hell I’d given up all hope on this… Can we get more plz?

King James stable

Ah yes. They are but pumpkins with wich we can be I Dunno, Smashing Pumkins Into Small Pieces Of Putrid Debris.

Woah… Teh wallz is le flickering as like teh video buffrz

Doom the comic book.

Heres a lovely retrospective of this very important cultural masterpiece

As a happy cis person I’ll tell you.

Corporations are making some ads aimed at not me.

Some media programs are being made where I’m not the only target audience.

Also some cis writers and performers found they can’t hate on trans people without being told some people dont want to hear it and wont give them money or attention anymore.

If I have a child that says they are trans I can’t beat them without the potential consequences that come with beating your child for any reason.

It’s rough out there /s

Im so unsubscribing right now.

Oh yeah and don’t go calling it a restraunt, cause thats fucking expensive too.
