But – there’s always a “but” – before you get too excited, there’s a catch.

Both Frame and yserver were built using LLM bots.

I mean, yeah. Even X11’s own maintainers are sick of that mountain of spaghetti and are just keeping it on life support. Anything trying to replace X11 (besides XWayland) is effectively a throwaway project and shouldn’t be seriously used.

Yeah, same. The fact I can chill the fuck out and basically not have to worry about an enormous class of serious, hard-to-spot bugs makes it a lot more fun for lower-level programming.

Like, yeah, I still need to worry about obstacles like other drivers, animals, etc., but it’s a lot more fun driving on a road that isn’t completely teeming with potholes and black ice.

I mean they’re right. The problem with PornHub isn’t that it’s too vanilla or something (I really prefer vanilla) but that almost everything on it is hyperreality. It’s the kind of sex that you could, at age 13, imagine is really hot but then grow out of.

Watching it is just distracting and funny, like you’re watching a parody of sex. It’s hyperpalatable in the way a McDonald’s hamburger or a MrBeast video are – which is totally what some people are into.

I don’t need a deep, intimate connection with my porn, but I would like to feel like the humans in/creating it might actually be authentically enjoying themselves. That scarcely exists on sites like PH, so why would I waste my time trying to find it?

(I know it reinforces the meme, but bread is terrible for birds. It stunts their development, is totally empty calories to them, can get animals sick when if it gets left on the ground and becomes moldy, and, if it isn’t eaten, often runs off into the water to feed microbes. Please don’t feed the ducks bread.)

RAGGLE FRAGGLE!

Aaaaah! Somebody help meeee!

You completely debunk the idea that “I don’t think the growth in “unknown” is the primary factor of Window’s decline in market share.” in the same comment you said it? Because what you said makes absolutely no sense in the face of the actual numbers.

I expound on the two points because you can’t just rest your argument on them and then limply, vaguely disclaim that it’s terrible methodology.

Those “last two data points” are two months. For OS X, there’s some upward movement the last two months (about 3%, which isn’t a lot given it spiked late last year from 8.3% to 14.07% to 8.2% in a span of three points), while Linux is practically flatlined with a very light upward incline just the last month.

To the extent StatCounter is useful to begin with, the Linux point is functionally meaningless while the OS X increase of a few percentage points may or may not be significant; trying to divine a trend from twitches in those two points is reading noise. Look at the “unknown” line, meanwhile, and see how it begins mirroring Windows’ decline around mid–late 2025. It rose from 11.3% in September 2025 to 21.5% in June 2026. That represents actual, meaningful, lasting change.

Okay, but StatCounter’s graph (edit: here) clearly shows that “unknown” is what’s cannibalizing most of that – and this is specifically measuring web traffic.

“Lemmy celebrates the rise of bots polluting web traffic stats because they didn’t bother to read the article beyond a misleading headline that reaffirms their biases.”

This man looks like he was engineered in a lab to be the villain of an iCarly special.

Birdemic 4 lookin’ 🔥

It’s okay: I’m a commielinguist and can certify what I said.

Is mixing those together where “commie” comes from?

Bethesda is hit particularly hard by the layoffs, IGN understands, with staff across its many development studios

It’s talking about the publisher.

The independent journalist cooperative Bereg spoke with Vlad about what it was like to wait [39 hours] in that line [in Chita] and what it looks like to travel across the country during a fuel crisis. In his view, the authorities are to blame for what is happening — not because they started the war with Ukraine, but because they are not “responding harshly enough.”

Shame that he had to wait 39 hours. Let’s try for 48 next time. Or better yet, hope his piece of shit Lada craps out from all the sulfur in the gasoline.

This article is in-goddamn-sufferably long-winded for those who already know the drama (and even for those who don’t), so here’s the Windscribe post. Honestly did not need an article, but then TechRadar is a shitty content mill.

I accidentally had dairy for the first time in years the other day for a similar reason. Local café. Ordered some tofu and a mocha with oat milk. Nothing else. Get my order, and the mocha has dairy whipped cream (the only kind they have). Nowhere on the menu does it say it comes with whipped cream. No one making it stopped and wondered “huh”. I wasn’t even with anybody to pawn it off onto. And sending it back means it just goes in the trash.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

This is the greatest AP article I’ve ever read.
