I feel like shit, so I’m just going to moan on something tangentially related.

Everything has fucking temperature monitoring, jack shit has stuff to do anything about it, like fan management. My shit’s overheating when I’m playing fallout 3 and fucking balatro, on a “gaming laptop” from 2017

I think I owe them an apology because I installed it for about an hour before I got rid of it for debian

so unfortunate.

Who aré we expecting to counterattack the US? Because the Falklands blew up in the face of Argentina because the UK took them back

Yeah. I barely played NMS, despite pre-ordering it due to launch fallout. Still worth it, because the money was for “the joe danger guys want to proc-gen a fucking universe? I’ll kick in”.

I have not been initiated into any of this. I’d pronounce it like “aura” without the a, and a longer R

with back end gnome tweaks so you can have it look like KDE

you know what looks like KDE?

KDE.

Salem techsperts off YouTube is doing something similar, and offering Linux as an alternative (unfortunately mainly windows oses)

It seems like you’re too emotionally invested to have a normal conversation like a person.

My bad for having opinions. Sorry. /s

Health is an app you can delete. It’s not forcing you to do anything. You don’t even need iCloud for anything. You don’t even have to use their walled garden App Store. I know because I download and install shit from the internet all the time.

All lies.

OSX has several things going for it, primarily, it’s got the clowns at apple running the show, thus, it has a bunch of “natural” interface bullshit that only make sense if you intend to live like a caveman and not understand that computers can function differently to physical objects.

On top of that, they pushed themselves as an “alternative” to windows back when they were even more corporate than fucking Microsoft, while blaring out the ignorant ass ipod adverts whose goal was to make the user into consumers making computing choices based on fashion. The iphone and it’s money gated, walled garden BS was just the cherry on top.

If you wanted a fucking alternative to microsoft, linux has been there for you all along instead of the “worse but shinier” osx, which mac served to just overshadow with its increased advertising budget and psychotic CEO.

And I mean that literally, Steve Jobs was actually fucking insane and a horrible person. From firing people at random, to abandoning his kids, to stealing livers and trying to cure his cancer with smoothies.

Also, it’s basically open/free BSD with more propriety bullshit on it than you can shake a stick at.

I don’t know how anyone can use Windows after 7.

Yeah, windows 8 , 10 and 11 are toxic shitholes. You know what macs did before windows started begging you to log in and create microsoft accounts? Force you to have Icloud or whatever the fuck it is accounts. You know how I know? My work laptops suck ass and forces me to have mac accounts, and is complaining that it can’t sync HEALTH DATA. MY WORK LAPTOP WANTS TO SYNC HEALTH DATA.

Apple blew the doors off for enshittification. They primed the fucking pump, and now microsoft and google are following through the door, you guys are like “yeah, putting osx on a steam box would be cool” fucking no. Ew.

🤮

Doğukan Korkmaztürk of NVIDIA

why is it every time one of us turks ends up on the news, it’s because of some dumb bullshit? I miss the days of the Yerli brothers and Far Cry, and Muhammed Suiçmez of necrophagist. Even during the pandemic at least we had Uğur Şahin working on the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

You can install OSX on there /s

I didn’t want to come off pissed. I’m sorry if it was perceived like that

You did not come across that way, just that you assumed I put in Merkel when I deliberately avoided putting her in, so in terms of tone and whatnot, there’s no problems.

I guess people could interpret the decisions of Thatcher in multiple ways as well. Those people would be wrong though.

With thatcher it’s a bit more straightforward for some of the things she did and it’s wide ranging impacts. I don’t think Merkel decimated entire regions of germany the way thatcher did to britain, even though she made some people very rich.

Merkel may have made choices that had undesired impacts, but thatcher was really something else.

I purposely avoided putting her name in as she is a complex ruler who is largely average and debatable the same way most male leaders are and her decisions can be interpreted in multiple ways by multiple people…

unlike May, thatcher or kitchner.

The world would be so much better with women in charge.

The women in charge we end up with :

(nb : I’m not saying women are incapable of power, just that assuming women would be great leaders is a stupid idea. There are examples of great/not horrid female leaders like Jacinda Ardern, but thatcher, this woman, Kirchner, theresa may, the lettuce woman are all terrible)

install yakuake or other drop down terminal and make it open that.

PiHole DNS

that’s what I’m missing

the fucking intrusiveness on that webpage is what’s going give me heart failure jfc
