Schrödinger's tech. It's both real and flimflam at the same time.

What's funny is anyone thinking Chinese government has anything to do with communism.

Funny how quickly free speech drops dead whenever right-wing snowflakes get involved.

On the subject of notable Hollywood documentaries, "Star Wars" shows how dangerous it is to your home planet to let raving lunatics run the government.

If you think about it, it kind of makes sense. Putin can't threaten to torture/imprison your friends and relatives if your friends and relatives are all sitting in a POW camp somewhere. There's nothing to stop these people from calling him out.

This video is kind of interesting

When that convicted rapist gets defeated in the election, you can rest assured that he'll resort to the same clumsy accusations of conspiracy and AI-generated this and that to try and deflect from the fact he'll be the one trying to steal the election AGAIN.

Maybe it's about damn time that convicted rapist was actually punished and not responded to as if anything he said or did was worthy of discussion.

As someone who uses Win 11, I can confirm that it sucks.

Not to mention Terraria and Don't Starve (and many more).

I just buy all my stuff on newegg. Decent 12 TB drives are going for around $250 to $300 right now.

12 TB drives are pretty cheap right now.

Game Pass is trash. I only play GoG games, at this point.

 

I just have to say, after having booted into Windows, that Linux is so much nicer than Windows when it comes to doing system "updates."

So, here I am, sitting in my chair for about 20 minutes looking at a mostly black screen and a highly dubious looking percentage number going up very slowly. It tells me that Windows is "updating" and that I should keep the computer turned on. Good thing I have the computer turned on or I wouldn't know that I shouldn't have it turned off, right?

Anyway, I start to think about how this experience goes in Linux. In my experience, I do "system" updates about once a month, and I can see each individual package being installed (if I glance away from my browser session, that is). In Windows, I have no choice but to sit here and wonder if the system will even work again.

Windows decides that it wants to update drivers, apparently (I honestly have no idea what it's doing, which is part of what pisses me off), because it reboots the computer. Then it reboots again. Then, eventually, everything goes back to the familiar Windows desktop. WTF?

How anyone could prefer Windows to Linux is truly a mystery to me.
