With the new login screen coming and the unified theming engine allegedly close, I hope the Discover app gets redone. I find it pretty slow and ugly, especially compared to the Gnome equivalent (whatever it’s called). It gives me constant errors about useless stuff as well, I often find an app in there and just download it in the command line.

Yep but I can take it off when I need to. It hurts sometimes when I have to lift something with round handles that squash my fingers together.

If I’d had a laptop in my classroom there’s no way I’d be paying attention to the lecturer.

Most of them seemed to be giving it a fair go but Linus himself seemed to be treating it more like a Cheap Car Challenge from Top Gear. He was cracking (bad) jokes about “just Linux things” before he’d even started and he gave up pretty much straight away. The problems he was having with Discord seemed more like Discord issues than Linux issues.

I game on Linux without issue. Literally 95% of games just work without issue. Deathloop never ran well and Routine (a UE game) for some reason kept want to install and uninstall a package each time I ran it (but it played fine). I don’t think I’ve found another game that doesn’t play and I recently bought ARC Raiders.

What’s wrong with this? I’ve found AI to be really helpful for debugging. It doesn’t mean humans aren’t doing it to but AI can spot this that people would miss.

I watched this film when I was like 14. I had to close my eyes at one point, I was so scared I started worrying I was going to die.

I kinda get it though. I think every single time in my life I’ve sent a document in the non-Microsoft format I’ve got a reply saying they couldn’t open it. That’s from LibreOffice and from Mac.

I’m not even backing up.

Endeavour’s probably a lot for someone new to Linux.

Now Barbie for grown ups.

They keep saying this is to keep kids safe online but when I’m teaching my kid about internet safety one of the most important points is to not share personal information.

All parents have the kit to stop their kids from getting to porn, they’re just not using it.

There’s these sort of crystal things you can use instead of deodorant. You rub them on your pits when they wet and they don’t produce any smell but block the bad ones. I used one for a while, it was good.

It was a weird time to like computers. Nobody had an antivirus, and if they didn’t it never got updated. You’d just take floppy disks around to your friend’s house and plug them in. Windows gave everything admin rights.

To be honest, I was using a computer for about five years before the internet happened and I never got a virus.

I think if Iran was as powerful as the US they’d be doing all that and more.

Why the fuck do people say stuff like this?

Sheep enclosure? You mean a field?

Remember when Photoshop demoed that magic eraser thing that would just remove things from a picture if you drew a circle around them? That seemed amazing at the time, now it’s obvious.

I’d wait to point blame over this, we have no idea what happened. The Iranians were murdering thousands of their own civilians just a few weeks ago, they’re hardly a reliable source of information. They’re obviously going to inflate the numbers and craft a story to whatever helps the regime.

If it’s filler then it’ll fade over time.

They could probably never actually do this. It seems that a trained model is some big mysterious thing that nobody really understands. They take some maths that’s so complicated barely anyone can understand it, feed it all the data they can possibly lay their hands on, then pump insane amounts of computational power through it. It’s the modern day equivalent of Frankenstein’s monster.
