The only thing making this guy less scary than Trump is the fact he's not running for president... For now.

I finally upgraded from a 3rd gen i7 to a 6th gen i7. There was no actual performance difference besides my gpu vram getting hotter, I just did it because the motherboard wasn't as shit. I'm sure the difference between a 6th gen i7 and an 8th gen i7 is equally unnoticeable. I didn't want to ever boot Windows again anyway.

Edit: huh, I'm intrigued by the downvotes. Is it because I used the wording "no actual performance difference" rather than providing benchmarks and proof? Is it because computer technology isn't improving at the rate it used to and people are in denial and/or easily triggered about it? Or maybe because I'm "probably a troll" based on my username?

This. Fucking this. Wobbling windows were around in the early days of Ubuntu's existence which was a long ass time ago and it was probably possible to get them even before that. Surely they've figured out a good way to make them work without fucking up your entire system by now.

Edit: oh, turns out KDE already has that option on my system.

Edit 2: Shit. How do you unfuck KDE? Asking for a friend.

I know a guy who had someone randomly place an empty dumpster on his property at night and leave it there. The police are completely stumped and no one knows where it came from.

I think it's a 4 barrel shotgun with a grenade launcher. Looks like 12 guage probably.

This is some quality content

Cum will win

Sometimes I say [brand name] over and over just to see if my phone serves me relevant ads or spam emails afterwards. If it doesnt give me [brand name] ads, that means my privacy module settings are tuned correctly. Sometimes if I receive a remotely "relevant" spam email, I get suspicious of whatever thing I most recently downloaded.

It may be a futile endeavor to make it so that no one can steal to my information but I'll make damn sure acquiring my information is too expensive to be profitable. Make them hire better/actual hackers instead of using an automatic script.

When the government starts taking away unlocked bootloader phones, I will be switching to ham radio instead of getting a locked down phone. Fuck the system.

Hmm there doesn't seem to be a section for "how do I prevent zoneminder from getting fucked and when I spend a month fucking with source code, databases, permissions, config files and everything else I can possibly think of, I can finally get it to work except the android app can't playback events but it works through browser and no one on the forums knows shit" but thanks.

There probably will someday be a push to prevent common normal people from having access to computer systems that offer the user root or superuser access. "ThE aVeRaGe PeRsOn DoEsNt NeEd AdMiN pErMiSsIoNs" or "think of the children". Ipads and surface pros will be allowed but something like a socket 1155 motherboard won't.

Eh, updates still break things on Debian just like on Arch. It may happen less often but when you do run into problems, you're completely screwed. I updated to Debian 12 like a year ago and still haven't fixed all the issues because it's a server and reinstalling the entire OS is completely out of the question and a beyond reasonable amount of work. On Arch, stuff breaks more often but the saving grace is that everything breaks often enough that you can count on there being an up to date wiki page for whatever problems you run into. On Debian if something semi obscure breaks, that feature is gone for good if you hate format and reinstalls.

Tbf, I did eventually get everything except zoneminder (and the ability to automatically reconnect to wifi when it loses connection WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION) working again on my Debian server but the fact is it 100% worked before the update.

Definitely not the IT people keeping their ai servers running, that's for sure.

Some poor people are able to get cost reduced healthcare in the US and to these wannabe dictators that's 100% unacceptable. A hospital visit needs to be a life ruining financial ordeal otherwise it's communism.

Security camera stuff is really lacking. The only good one is zoneminder. It mostly works but it breaks a lot.

The tech world is going downhill fast. Anything that isn't currently obtainable through only foss means isn't going to be attainable by the average person for much longer.

The tech things most people currently enjoy will soon become entirely unaffordable to anyone not made of money. Anything that you aren't willing to switch to an open source alternative for, prepare to learn to live without it.

I even self host my own music streaming. I never had a streaming service, not even in 2012 when Netflix was all the rage. I don't even own a windows compatible pc. I don't even know what modern ms office looks like. I use my home network more than I use the actual internet just about.

It's all fun and games until someone brings their mom's tentacle dildo to school.

Life is too short to play that stupid game. It's bullshit for everyone involved. I'm happy to be single.
