The joke is that 99% of the other stalls are also Linux lmao

Thanks to the XFCE development proceeding at couch potato speeds, I’ve been on this funny number version for a year and a half lol.

Is anyone actually using Gemini directly?

It sucks total bum compared to even some quality mid tier models on huggingface. Even the joke about ChatGPT was that it performs better than Google’s equally bum SEO’d search engine.

I feel like Google is suffering much less at throwing it into all of their apps than MSFT doing the same with copilot.

I already said it a month ago, but I’m pretty sure the main contention over the agreement has been getting Israel to play along.

Trump can’t actually say that he’s on Netanyahu’s leash because that would mean his supposed authority is non-existent. Iran also knows that Israel will never agree to anything, so they naturally opted to skip straight to negotiating directly with the US and having them “pull the leash” on Israel.

Regardless if it goes through or not, it ends in a fight between whether the US owns Israel or Israel owns the US.

I like how whenever there’s an exception to Betteridge’s law of headlines, it always seems to involve Israel.

Nah they screwed up the performance eith telemetry and took a dump on the NT kernel and Win32 with PWA.

My disk usage went from 20% idle in 7 to 100% usage in 8, which made running on HDDs painful to use.

Ah okay, is it because of Bitlocker?

Aside from the clownshow that is Gemini, I’ve found my own ye olde reddit threads fill the AI search result with useless information I wrote years ago lol.

If ti weren’t for the fact that they’ve ruined everything with AI, it would still be funny seeing it present meme logic as the authentic truth.

They are trialing it with Rocket League which they updated to use EAC without dropping linux support.

I just hope the Linux growth doesn’t stagnate due to the insane PC market right now and the potentially DoA steam machine, otherwise alot of this development could go to waste.

Fingers crossed they aren’t trying to develop a linux kernel module anticheat because I will never load that crap on anyone’s machine.

Even right now, the last standing proprietary blob in my way is Nvidia, which they finally open sourced their kernel driver so if the userspace blob bothers you, you can switch to the upcoming Nova driver from RedHat.

The kernel needs to stay clean. They can do whatever they’d like in userspace.

Except for the whole “now I have 6TB of SSDs that I can’t figure out how to get rhe data off them without buying new hardware”

Do you mean reading the data or deleting the data?

Linux actually can mount Bitlocker drives, even automatically, but you need the key which is usually stored in the TPM which I’m pretty sure you need to boot with secure boot to get working in Linux.

If you still have Windows, it’s way easier to just set a secondary key and use that instead.

On a related note, I would actually recommend weighing the benefit of using LUKS because even with AES-256 hardware acceleration, it can significantly reduce your performance depending on your CPU.

Windows 10 only exists because of how much Windows 8 sucked.

Windows 7 also only exists because of how much Windows Vista sucked lol.

XP and 7 was Microsoft at their best. They’ll never reach those heights ever again.

As someone else already mentioned, these do exist but you don’t see them on the road because it usually easier to just get a bigger truck without all the quirks.

The most optimal route would be a cyberattack that causes all of the satellites to de-orbit, but that would honestly be a bigger challenge than STUXNET lol.

Tbf I think the cheapest matches I saw were around ~$200, but even those were outliers for being cheap.

My favorite systemd moment was when Lennart and Kay shouted “systemdeez nutz!” in the kernel mailing list and then proceeded to systemd all over the place.

Its gonna be a 180 on Ivermectin and they’ll switch to bleach lol

Save your breath, this guy reposts his ingenious solution on every post so often that I gave him a user tag a long time ago:

There’s so much fault in the logic that you can pick apart at practically every piece. Even just the idea that modern nations fight over land control and not resources antiquates the actual UN.

Not tryna dox myself but I was able to get a ticket to the Argentina vs Iceland warm up match held 2 days ago in Auburn because Auburn University sold the tickets directly for $78, and they still didn’t sell out the stadium, so you could buy tickets for as low as $40 from resellers.

And they played Messi too so its not like it was some B squad match, they all actually showed up.

If Auburn couldn’t sell out the stadium for such a game, there’s no way FIFA is filling any of the world cup matches except for maybe semis and finals.
