Who reads this anyway? Nobody, that’s…. Oh wait. Some people actually do. I guess I should put something worth reading in here then. Err... Let's go with lorem impsum for the time being.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam eu libero vitae augue pretium sollicitudin.......

  • That number is just an example of a specific category of absurd humor. It’s rare to see that sort of thing applied to numbers though. In other situations, we’ve all seen it. Just repeat any dumb thing a hundred times and suddenly it becomes funny. You could look at pretty much any TV comedy. Pick any decade, like 60’s, 70’s, 90’s or whatever. The rule is very simple: Just repeat it and it becomes funny at some point.

    You could also say that the seeds of brain rot are older than we dare to admit. The 2020s just distilled it to its purest form yet.

  • Seriously though, the density of rhetoric devices, such as contrastive reframing and hyperbole, was pretty high for a science article. Vanilla copilot leans towards an even more dramatic tone, but this wasn’t far behind.

    Fuck prime numbers

  • Same with the 7 day week. Try doing something every other day, every 3 days or whatever. Doesn’t work, because 7 is a prime number.

  • Forbidden juice…

  • I think so too. It makes sense to start with making it run on the hardware you have. Making it run nicely on other computers would require more time and money. Doing so can still make sense in the long run, but first you need to launch this new product, so better focus on short term goals.

  • I currently have two Wayland-running computers: one with Intel graphics and the other with Nvidia. While both work, one has some odd quirks. For instance, right-click window scaling doesn’t work at all and context menus vanish instantly unless I hold the mouse button down. Sometimes, the right-click menu simply doesn’t appear at all.

    Incidentally, I’m currently looking for a used AMD graphics card. Can you guess which computer will get that card.

  • That would help with selling games, for sure. If that really is the main goal, SteamOS should receive some compatibility updates soon. We’ll see if that’s how they really operate.

  • Yes, but what’s the reason why SteamOS was designed to be that picky? My guess is, Valve wants everyone to buy their hardware. Making your OS run on anything isn’t really helping with that.

  • Year of the Linux desktop?

  • As long as their software is compatible with their hardware, Valve likely doesn’t see much value in improving SteamOS at this point. Dev time is expensive, so it’s understandable they prioritise other things. However, I still hope SteamOS receives the resources it needs to become a serious competitor to Windows in gaming PCs.

  • Steam made Linux gaming more well known. People tried SteamOS, but switched to Bazzite. Since Bazzite is based on Fedora, it could have resulted in Fedora getting more attention. Is that what’s really happening here?

  • Yikes! That's some serious horror movie stuff right there.

  • Fine by me.

    As a side note, there are people who genuinely look like that because they have something seriously wrong with their metabolism. Maybe muscles just refuse to grow, maybe nutrients don't absorb or whatever. Lots of things can lead to a similar outcome.

  • That’s a good point! Didn’t think of that one.

  • Privacy is valuable, but its violation is free. If you want plenty of free cloud storage, you’ll get zero privacy. Some companies offer a free demo so you can test the product before purchasing. The storage space is just big enough for testing, not for storing your entire video collection.

    If you’re short on cash, consider building a home NAS out of second hand hardware.

  • Looks like some serious health condition.

  • Problem solved. Never visit USA.

  • If you’ve already done a bit of programming, you can think of the terminal as a place that executes code. Just look at some bash scripts, and you’ll probably find it somewhat familiar.

    Just like you can load new libraries, you can also install new commands on your system. You can think of each program as a function in some programming language such as Python.

  • GlancesIt shows you all the usual stuff, but as a bonus, you’ll also get disk I/O and temperature sensors.

    If you’re maxing out your CPU, you’ll know which application is doing it and how hot the CPU is.
