In 2025, we have so many OSes to choose from that don’t have to be de-bulked of tumors. Linux, BSD, Redox, OSX… nowhere to go but up from win11.

Ok. Now point at one of the AI datacenters for making titty pics and get back to us. Absolute corporate shilling / distraction.

Worship of the eternal steady-state. Whoever speaks against any intervention to preserve it is a heretic, and must be excommunicated. Whether it’s ML training, pentesting, or old-fashioned engineering, we have to throw the occasional curve

It is probably for the best that Alex Karp is kept in isolation.

It is all wishful thinking and beside the point. Pubkey auth and normies do not mix. They lose their keys, their identity, their history, then back to zuck or elon’s plantation where things can be administratively resolved.

Many medical preparations are oil rather than water soluble. Seed oils tend to be the cheapest choice, and probably still have trace amounts of pesticides/herbicides/fungicide--even after processing. Under such conditions, one m

Absolutely! Most of it is there to protect their moats from us, not us from “hackers”.

The post isn't the point. The point is that you have people abusing the flag mechanism. Maybe you should start ignoring their flags when they abuse it?

by krautburglar 10mo ago
Dude, your flag function is abused to no end, and you don't really do anything about it. One of the earliest comments I've made was one on semi-recent X11 history, and got flagged for it, because apparently everything is politica

Both X11 and Wayland need a coherent accessibility on-ramp first. I know AI can remedy many of the issues after-the-fact, but it is an embarrassment that we need to go that far when the text and the partitioning are already known at differ

Every time I hear the “ What about socialization? ” argument from some childless person on SSRIs, I am reminded how dishonest some people are. If they even liked (let alone cared for) children, they would have had their own.

Everyone is in a rush to digest the old web into proprietary models--from Google & Bing's AI summaries to Elon's Grokipedia--harvesting the work of others without credit or compensation. Why does XSLT even matter at that poin

This gives me the same vibe as OLPC. We had these places where people didn't even have electricity, running water, or public sanitation, yet some nerds at MIT thought (?) to themselves, " Hey, you know what these people need? La

I wish people would stop back-porting new features into vt terms, since those “features” gradually leak into terminal programs, which start spewing garbage in older terminals at the next update. Instead of having a standard, we get ESC[wha

Too much voodoo as Terry says. People are so lost and pinned-in—like a free-range prison. Riceing the computer helps take your mind off of it for a bit.

I don’t think that is necessarily true. Most of the work goes way back (1984), done by people who have been retired for a long time now. Then in the late ‘00s redhat’s x11 maintainers (i.e. young people who were hired to fix bugs, not o

I think polyglot causes more problems than it solves. It is gross how many different toolchains and package managers it now takes to build a distro. One person wants python, another wants node, another wants go, and now this. with node w
