If you want a repairable phone that doesn't spy on you and is made with better supply chains, the @murena Fairphone 4 is $50 off in the US: murena.com/america/shop/smartpโ€ฆ (This is what I use. I got mine free as an early tester. I love it, though the camera is not the best.)

Great news! In general NVidia is taking up speed. Not as good as AMD, mind you, but I think when this year comes to an end we're talking about Wayland problems and not NVidia-Wayland-problems anymore.

that could mean that NVIDIA might be moving towards open source but given their history it's hard to say for sure

That's another good reason. I read Thomas Malthus's essay on population growth when I was 17 and saw what was coming (and I was right). Since then, I have found many other reasons to not breed.


People outside the US really have no concept of what it's like inside that country. They haven't for decades.
I try to keep this in mind whenever I read about events in another country. We always see such a tiny slice of the situation.


ZINGER! Yes, thank you!

Clap or AI Gets It


"Like the threat behind cryptoโ€™s โ€œhave fun staying poorโ€ slogan, AI needs the rest of us to believe in its unstoppable ascendancy because that belief is basically all it has. AI products arenโ€™t about whether anyone wants or needs AI products. Theyโ€™re about how people could want or need those products, eventually, if everyone stays the course and also keeps pumping money into AI companies."

University of Oslo chose Nextcloud to set up an on-premises research platform, allowing users to share and collaborate on data and text files securely!

Now, researchers can work with files without their data going to commercial cloud providers.
Here's how they did it:

Its an offer. A suggestion. Its a gift. Its not required to be on linux. You may need the OS for a proprietary app, you might fear disobedience and registry corruption, you may love the Joy of Tidying Up that defragging for 8 hours brings. Its ok, cool people use windows, some of them because they want to. You are not judged for using windows.

When people offer linux its a damp towel for hair on fire, not finger pointing.

The spread of MS Malware was coerced, no blame.

I'm always fine with a game release being pushed back because it needs more work. If a developer can afford the delay, it's the best way to handle it.

This only proves what I always suspected.

World Of Goo is actually a AAA game that just masquerades as an indie game. It's no wonder that the game is so good! ๐Ÿ˜„

So uh, I recently re-made a Reddit account, purely because I wanted to follow a few specific things.

A post from /r/steamdeck showed up, complaining about how bad the sub is full of nonsense posts.

I commented...and got permanently banned. Lmao. Don't ever dare to comment about the state of the sub.
