You can have windows running on a literal super computer and you’ll still get slapped with the “This won’t take long” screen lol

Linux Mint if you want something nice and easy out of box.
Fedora if you feel like taking the plunge
Bazzite if you want Fedora’s advantages for gaming but don’t want to mess with a conventional Linux install (kinda more like Android, lots of guardrails)
Ubuntu and the like
Switch to a real distro like Fedora

Step 1: Just don’t pick Ubuntu
Step 2: Refer to Step 1
Optional step: Don’t pick GNOME for the Desktop Environment lol


Ted Ts’o being awoken by the “next gen fs” devs screaming outside his house



Let’s Encrypt has also started offering 7 day certs for people who are confident that they spent more than 5 minutes to setup their cert management lol.


Next year’s CES is gonna be every AI product from this year’s CES but with no progress on release date because they can’t even buy the consumer grade hardware to produce it since it all went into data centers lol.


Not to ruin people getting off of streaming, but the biggest bang for buck in storage will be regular old hard drives unless you need to backup like >500Tb of storage (then tape drives).
DVDs are cool but they only have a 4/8Gb capacity.
BluRay pushes it to 70/100/120gb which is great for one 4K movie lol.


Use our easy bash oneliner to install our software!
Looks inside script
if [ $(command -v apt-get) ]; then apt-get install app; else echo “Unsupported OS”
Still less annoying than trying to build something from source in which the dev claims has like 3 dependencies but in reality requires 500mb of random packages you’ve never even heard of, all while their build system doesn’t do any pre comp checking so the build fails after a solid hours of compilation.


Gamefreak used an additional hardcoded RSA public key auth in Pokémon Black/White because for some reason they didn’t trust OpenSSL to not fail for their HTTPS API connections, and yet here we are in 2026 with unauthenticated API endpoints.
Was ChatGPT unable to generate swagger docs they could have lazily plugged into an API scanner bruh
Or better yet notice the big fat “unathenticated” label when you look at the endpoint list.
Percy Jackson did this so much better by explaining only imperial gold or celestial bronze can be used to craft weapons that could harm powerful entities.
So naturally some dude loaded celestial bronze bullets into his warplane’s (probably .50 cal M2) machine guns lol


More annoying that AMC bought out basically every local theater and then shot themselves in the foot, so there’s not many alternatives.
Local theaters usually do community events and have a play theater for live productions that keeps the business going.
AFAIK AMC only does latest releases and sometimes reruns during low traffic.


I found a thread on reddit where some doofus was claiming the classic cube layout from Compiz is completly useless and nothing more than eye candy after someone was having trouble with setting up the cube on Wayfire.
It is objectively the best way to handle multiple workspaces.


I completely blame ChromeOS.
Even on AD snafu’d windows, the first thing we all did was figure out how to bypass any block and do what we wanted to.
Kids are growing up not knowing there are things you can do aside from accessing the internet and loading crappy webpages.

I forgot already but doesn’t he work for MSFT now?
I swear the moment he got a new job is when he came out with run0

Reddit and X are the two social media spaces where I legitimately don’t know how they’re making money lol.
I mean I guess reddit signed an AI deal for content scraping, but what’s the point if no useful new content is generated.
Even ignoring the fact that its probably the leading reason why Gemini sucks total crap.
