Good on them. The earlier they can shut down those coal plants, the better.

Can we get a regime change in the US?

The Dealmaker everyone.

Daily driven Mint, OpenSuse Tumbleweed and Fedora. They’re all great, with their own pros and cons.

Also Microsoft products have become enshitified beyond recognition.

It’s some sketchy pre-cracked Jack Sparrow edition I torrented to run exclusively offline in a VM and will never let it connect to the internet because I don’t trust it. I’m not too worried about getting security updates for it.

I exclusively use it to run Autodesk Inventor for making 3D printable objects. Once the STL is created I just drag and drop it out of the VM into my Linux machine. It’s the only communication with the outside world it will ever have.

I have a copy of Windows 10 LTSC that I have installed on a virtual machine just in case I need the one last program that I use that I cannot get to work on Linux.

Lately I upgraded my machine and had to reinstall everything. As I was installing Windows on my VM, it started demanding that I create an account and wouldn’t let me proceed without one, asked me to associate third party accounts to my OS and was generally being extremely intrusive and forceful in ways I didn’t remember it being before, like opening Edge and forcing me to click through an introduction that I didn’t want without giving me the option to close it. I then realized that I had forgotten to disable network access to my VM and that Windows had downloaded updates during the install.

I immediately destroyed that VM and started over again, this time without allowing it to connect to internet. Suddenly the experience was far better.

The moment I had let Windows connect to the internet it had thoroughly enshittified itself. It let me appreciate how badly Microsoft has enshittified Windows 10 over the years ever since its release. We are far away from the Windows 7 days.

Good news. Whoever still thought it was still possible to get some slack by kissing Trump’s ass are now fully caught up with the reality that he is an unreasonable prick.

Now the real decoupling of economies from the US can begin.

Competition at work. Finally.

A rare sight in the technology market nowadays.

He figured out he can just pardon himself. He doesn’t care how corrupt and amoral this makes him look. Shame is a distant, foreign concept to him.

Wait until we learn that India and Pakistan will have to cede territory to Russia somehow.

Being the convicted rapist that he is, Trump can’t take no for an answer.

Teams will die for Copilot somehow.

Imagine if he fails to be elected again in the partials

Hence why they very rarely include expandable storage as an option on their devices. Gotta overcharge the suckers for a laughably small increase in storage space. Or even better: Have them pay monthly fees for cloud storage.

“Wait a minute. Are we the baddies?”

Windows: “OK, I’ll keep asking every day just in case you change your mind. Then one day I’ll just do it without asking”

Trump picked a fight with the biggest kid in the school right after insulting and backstabbing all his friends. Now he’s crawling back begging his friends to come and help him.

If Trump wants the US’s ex-allies to help, he better step down from the presidency. It is the only way I see anyone willing to help the US right now.

Windows: “There is something wrong with that weird drive I’ve just found. Do you want me format it to ‘fix’ it?”

Me: “Alright Windows, your permission to exist on my computer has been revoked.”
