  • What X-mas themed things do people who hate X‐mas like?

    Jump

  • This lovely Christmas tune by those wonderful lads, Blink-182. Simply delightful.

  • Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?

    Jump

  • You are deluding yourself if you think that books are immune to AI slop.

    Enshittification is coming for all things. It'll take a lot of careful human curation to keep finding the value among the deluge of crap.

  • Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI

    Jump

  • I was expecting Comic Sans.

  • What makes you happy?

    Jump

  • Stargate SG1, a beer, some nachos and nobody else home.

  • What is the purpose of your life?

    Jump

  • To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women!

  • ChatGPT down again

    Jump

  • Just checked, my local llama.cpp instance is still up. No, you can't use it.

  • What entertainer consistently performs drunk or otherwise intoxicated?

    Jump

  • Legendary. Bear in mind that a lot of The Pogues' lyrics are about getting hammered.

  • Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy

    Jump

  • I see what you mean, and I have that (old PC with a bunch of 2.5" HDDs formatted as ZFS).

    For me power consumption is more important than performance, so I'm looking for a lower power solution for photo sharing, music collection and backups.

  • What’s Hiding Inside Haribo’s Power Bank and Headphones?

    Jump

  • Just another reason not to buy earbuds. You are sticking a fairly large amount of power inside your ear.

  • How much do you care about music?

    Jump

  • I care enough that the words "I care a lot" trigger a song from Faith No More to start playing in my head.

  • Aluminium OS will be Google’s take on Android for PC

    Jump

  • At your age, what surprises you the most about yourself?

    Jump

  • I'm surprised at how much more methodic and organized I've become. Taking notes to get thoughts out of my head helps me reduce brain clutter.

    Turning chores into pleasurable activities (podcasts while cleaning or cooking) also helped.

    I've also grown more patient with other people's actions. People don't usually act with malice, more often it is just plain inability.

    Also, very little fucks remain to be given.

    Jump

  • Thank you, that was a good read.

  • Someone At YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled

    Jump

  • My opinion is that YouTube became an unusable mess, and I avoid it as much as possible. I guess that's enshittification at work.

  • xkcd: Fifteen Years

    Jump

  • Go fight for the health system you deserve instead.

    If third world countries can have decent basic universal health systems, why is it so hard for you guys?

  • Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

    Jump

  • That's how you level up in Linux. You break things, learn what you did wrong and do better next time. Linux won't hold your hand, you can and will shoot yourself in the foot.

    You are doing it right by having backups and playing it safe. You'll be ok.

    Why is socialization so hard in the 2020s?

    Jump

  • I'll bring wine.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

    Jump

  • Feels like you bought into the MSCE religion of the early 2000's and are annoyed at all the infidels that didn't.

  • Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken

    Jump

  • True, I've experienced that bug.

    The big different is that, depending on how knowledgeable you are, you can either report the bug, you can diagnose it (check the logs, trace and profile the calls), dig in the code, patch it or try a patch someone developed for the bug, or simply ignore it and use a different file browser. That freedom is priceless.

    With Windows you're stuck waiting for the next upgrade that may or may not break something else and brings new and exciting AI and telemetry shoved into it.
