  • I replaced my truck's rusted out muffler

    Jump

  • I have to replace mine soonish. One of the brackets on it has broken and I’ve never gotten round to replacing it, even though it’s only £100 for a new one. What’s with the angle grinder and drill? Aren’t they just bolted on?

  • Trump reportedly to back ceding of Ukrainian territory to Russia as part of peace deal

    Jump

  • This’ll be the second time they’ve taken territory from Ukraine and gotten away with it. They’ll probably take Belarus once that dictator dies, and they’ll eventually take Moldova since they already control part of it. They’ll keep trying to take all of Ukraine until it happens.

  • Court Blocks Expedited Subpoenas to Identify Digital Pirates, Dealing Blow to Copyright Holders

    Jump

  • The stupid dickheads beat piracy by making streaming so good that there was little point in it. Now they’ve got all greedy again, spreading the content between too many different platforms and shoving ads into services where people are already paying.

  • VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power

    Jump

  • How does this even work? It’s like they don’t realise they don’t own the car once it’s been sold. What’s to stop someone just hacking it and unlocking it?

  • What was your first distro?

    Jump

  • Corel Linux. It didn’t last long because it didn’t play my games.

  • What distro do you game on?

    Jump

  • I game on Fedora because it was just the OS I installed on my gaming PC when I moved to Linux. Everything is fine between Steam, Heroic, and Lutris. The NVIDIA drivers were easy to install from the App Store and the only game that doesn’t run well is Death Loop but there’s been some updates and I haven’t tried it in six months so it may be better now. There was a memory leak apparently but I think there were more problems.

  • British Gas owner buys £1.5bn gas terminal in big bet on fossil fuel reliance

    Jump

  • I expect that the plan to go full electric with cars in 5 years will get cancelled since that will basically mean handing over our vehicle production to China.

  • ‘A literal gut punch’: Missouri workers devastated by Republican repeal of paid sick leave

    Jump

  • Only 58% voted for it? Who would vote against this? Are 42% of the population corporate fat cats?

  • My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space

    Jump

  • I expect we’re eventually going to start seeing AI in more sensible places and these NPUs will prove useful. Hopefully soon the bubble will burst and we’ll stop seeing it crammed in everywhere, then it’ll start being used where it actually improves a product rather than wherever an LLM will fit.

  • It's the dream

    Jump

  • I never have dressing on my salad, I think a lot of people don’t. Salads are healthy, dressings are not.

  • Wikipedia loses challenge against Online Safety Act verification rules

    Jump

  • Thank God we’ve got the government here to protect us.

  • Accurate

    Jump

  • I honestly don’t know why you guys love shitting on AI so much. I flew into Munich, where I’d never been before, and had to hurry to a pub in the middle of town. ChatGPT managed to tell me exactly what train to go for, how to get to the platform in the airport, and even what the signs that I should be following looked like. It was literally like having local knowledge.

  • [UPDATE: Fake] They made his car "cease & desist"

    Jump

  • I find this one hard to believe.

  • Vibe check!

    Jump

  • BCDC

  • People who don't live alone, who does the cooking?

    Jump

  • Anyone but me. I’ll do the laundry, the dishwasher, cleaning, gardening, driving, etc. I just hate cooking.

  • Spotify to raise prices in September

    Jump

  • I don’t see why people hate Spotify so much. I used to go out and pay £10 for an album decades ago, multiple times a month sometimes. Now I can basically listen to anything for the price of an album a month. Plus, you can play Spotify on just about any device, even all the open source solutions that Netflix blocked like 15 years ago. On top of that it’s Swedish rather than American.

  • Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30

    Jump

  • Im genuinely curious as to what themes and DE you’re using that looks better. In Windows everything is slick and polished, stuff slides and bounces around, the colours are consistent and work together, it’s all pretty elegant. I’m using KDE right now and all that I get is the start menu thing changes shade when I hover the mouse over it. I also use Gnome and XFCE, Gnome is pretty good and XFCE is obviously really basic.

  • What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop?

    Jump

  • Reaction videos I guess, but a lot of people are doing that.

  • Microsoft no longer permits local Windows 10 accounts if you want Consumer Extended Security Updates — support beyond EOL requires a Microsoft Account link-up even if you pay $30

    Jump

  • I say this as a Linux user, Windows is still considerably easier to use and it certainly looks a lot slicker.
