  • When your entire desktop environment freezes, on Windows you'd have to do a hard shutdown, risking data loss or corruption.
    On Linux you switch to another TTY, kill the process that's locking up everything, and go back to work.

  • This isn't legally binding, but that won't stop the DOGE teenagers from walking into their office and start dismantling it.
    And the employees will stand by, muttering "this can't be legal" under their breath.
    Then a judge will rule that it wasn't legal, the ruling will be ignored, and by then 30 other things like this will have happened, too.

  • A fixed gear bicycle with wide, flat-resistant tires and a belt drive. Plus a hand pump, a set of tools and a box full of inner tubes.

    That should be enough to keep it running for a lifetime, offers actual utility, and it's understandable enough what it does so I'm hopefully not burnt at the stake, and people can build their own with what they have.

  • Hardly anyone takes photos with a flash anymore.
    Phones instead crank up the sensitivity and use AI to get rid of the noise (=draw an image that vaguely resembles what's in front of the camera).

  • I helped a friend move in with his girlfriend, and they stood in the door to the new apartment and started arguing about where the large wardrobe should go - while me and another guy were standing on the stairs, carrying it.
    When the argument turned to shouting, and they completely ignored us, we set the wardrobe down on the stairs and left.

  • Just tried setting no country, then ducked "wine".
    Results were definitely still from my country first.
    When I set display language to US English, results came up from the US, instead.
    When I set it to French, it shows French websites at the top.
    So the language you set affects what websites you are shown in the results. That sucks.

    But you can actually just turn off ads in the settings. That's pretty fucking neat!
