The slow consistent degeneration of file explorer, the primary core service for users in the entire OS, is truly a sign of the times at Msoft. This shit crashes all the time in our office workflow, hard restarting explorer process. USB issu

I found it incredibly stupidly easy to break bazzite trying to change something relatively simple that isn’t even a required step most of the time (automatically mount my second internal ssd). Copy and pasted some change in some file, save,

Bad writing examples here in separate comment, lots of recency bias with them, they’re almost all litrpgs, but they’re cheap! And bad is a strong word. It’s probably more fair to say they have notable faults to me. —— Bad prose with good id

This was my process. The outline is very long but fairly simple and hopefully it will at least give you some ideas. It also presumes you will not have an editor or friend that will give real critical feedback for at least 6 months. —— Write

I had a very similar experience that gave me permission to pursue hobby-level writing. I read a very long series of books (Defiance of the Fall) that starts with frankly terrible writing (sorry Jeff if you somehow read this) but also contai

Tangent because I do think you are asking a pretty clear question, but I find it’s much more helpful in these discussions to specify why(mechanical explanation) from why(elaborate on known info) from why(what is the human reason for an acti

Userbench is openly mega biased and fudges their own test scores against AMD, it’s so bad it shouldn’t even be listed in search results, There are also many criticisms against CPUbennchmark that are much more minor like its over simplified

If you expect it to be as good as peak google results, no. If you need something that’s very noticeably better than its competition, then yes. If you are okay with all of the terrible that comes with using LLM services as a search engine re

Somewhat related, Reddit has been broken for me in a very similar way for more than a year now. Whenever I scroll down to load more pages, it will populate with about 80% the same threads as it loaded on previous pages. Over and over, such

I don’t understand how so many gigantic corporations can focus on cutting costs over and over, firing people until every team is anemic. Then there’s Firefox, who very clearly just need a slim team focused on performance and maintaining sta

It’s so interesting to see the explosive fractal of the Internet collapse back into these singularity super apps in different cultures all over the world. Obviously many in this community see that as a generally bad thing(me included) but

If the curiosity dies, the entire thing crumbles. The second I stop being curious I stop finding new and exciting things to do, and I stop feeling fulfillment. It’s one of the biggest signs saying “it’s time to move on”. I feel so strongly
