Agreed. 2026 was the year. The degradation of win 11 , forced win accounts everywhere. I switched to Linux Mint, and I haven't switched back. Missing out on a few random games that…

"Somebody said Aliens, she thought they said Illegal Aliens, sign up" Taking the whole UAP thing and turning it into a crusade against allegedly illegal immigrants is some top tier…

This is great. Nice work. The galaxy explorer/map in Elite: Dangerous is pretty good, I wish they would produce a stand-alone application of just the galaxy map, whether it's even …

Here's a podcast deep diving into what it was he did. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J1JQaIrxRU

I love that Sarah Fitzpatrick has absolutely doubled down on this, gets sued, drops another article, "come at me bro"

Also no way to account for the variation of LCD displays. The same "colour" can look different on two different panels

The fastest 1km I ever ran was around 3m20s, I felt like I was sprinting, and was fully cooked at the finish line. Afterwards I did some quick numbers and realised the average mara…

Thanks for those, but I can't trust that a random post to a mailing list from a compromised email address, to provide backing to someone else's argument is proof of life

When did Satoshi make an appearance in 2015? I couldn't find the spot in the article where the author cites it. Everywhere I've read it states his last interactions were 2010, and …

dude, the whole Linus sticking his finger up at nvidia meme? Its still real in 2026. The opensource ABI whatever the fuck they call it is trash. I'm absolutely ready to purchase an…

yeah, sorry

yeah, I've heard this too.. and I'd rather my rig just works rather than try and stuff around making it work under linux + I know iracing is cooked anyway, and I've spent enough mo…

I agree, but I'm sure Bazzite/CachySteamOS all have support for them on boot.

yeah, on install you select a window manager, I didn't bother trying any others, just opted to go to Debian instead

I tried cachy, but I decided I hate the kde plasma environment, I should have chosen some other window manager but wanted to try the recommended one there is also something to be s…

to give you a single data point, I've finally committed to linux on my desktop machine at home (I posted in another comment on this thread regarding my sim setup, thats another iss…

On my wife's laptop, I've uninstalled MS AI 3 times. I'm just about to lose my mind. I'd have already wiped the machine and moved it to mint but the data in her one drive, bookmark…

findstr is an underappreciated command line tool. I use it a lot

Conspiratorial thought - did OpenAI shut down Sora because one of their models started attaching it's weights to all the output videos, and some how escaped the farm? Not an origin…

For email, I've been using migadu for a number of years now. Very happy with the service/support I get for the amount I pay per year

I feel like this commitment to Windows quality post is actually just copilot generated slop. Someone in the comments here said nobody loves Windows. I probably did love Windows 7. …

InterBBS BRE is still one of my favourite turn based "online" strategy experiences, working together to defeat other BBS's, so good

> or find developers to work in the system It's an interesting issue, personally I wouldn't look at someones employment history, and working with legacy tools/environments, as a bl…

And Turbo Pascal was CHEAP, I think in terms of what you got for your $50? I can't remember the original retail price, you couldn't beat it. Hell, if you kept your eye out you coul…

For Delphi it is a combo of the Indy project (IdHttp), and superobject (probably other json parsers too but superobject is quick and fairly solid). However, given I've yet to find …
