Although I don’t know much about Sandy, it has been nice casually scrolling and seeing that she is doing well.

This is exactly what some of my extended family uses because there’s literally no other option. Not even cellular.

This isn’t even up in the mountains or something. This is just rural Alabama where kids are struggling to do homework because they just don’t have access, and it all but guarantees that their technology skills will remain woefully outdated.

I remember when they had DSL not that long ago and I would turn off updates on everything because it was a complete waste of time to attempt.

Pathetic. Take off your masks, pussies. I wanna see the faces of the people who kidnap my friends.

I ask AI to avoid all the AI slop search results I’d have to sift through when I could get my slop delivered directly.

I’m afraid this may not be enough. One who is so deep in their delusions isn’t so easily brought back to reality, if they ever can be.

We don’t have windows, so we had to make do with this interdimensional portal.

Good point. Maybe it depends on what I want to happen when that load spike comes.

I was promised 15 years ago that cloud computing would avoid unexpected bills and provide consistent expenses that project managers love so much.

When you learn as a space explorer that the dark forest hypothesis was correct.

Perhaps I’m making a wrong assumption that Microsoft is trying to build some sort of PC compatible gaming store around the device that I see as an inevitable failure. Maybe it will be something completely different and open.

And of course, just because I fail to understand the goal of this device doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have one with merit. It still got half the year to build up hype targeting a 2025 holiday season release.

We already have Windows handhelds. There’s some comparisons here with Windows phone and the smart phone OS industry. If it is to be successful that’s quite the uphill battle being late to the game.

Interesting, although I wonder if they’re going to fall into the trap that everyone else has. It’s not good enough to just make a handheld. You need to have a great ecosystem surrounding it, and Steam is one of the very best for gaming that actually seems to respect its users.

How do you plan to be better than Steam? This is the question that this product fails to answer. If it doesn’t come up with a truly impressive answer soon, it’s dead on arrival.

My money is on no one remembering this device after six months.

You may underestimate user dedication. I love my instance and totally would come back after a few months away temporarily.

You got me on the communities though.

Fediverse is designed to handle servers with less than stellar reliability.

Not knowing yourself; it’s a lot like dating in that there’s big dreams and ideas but the reality of what is needed on the daily often doesn’t mesh. I find it helps to talk to other employees and ask about their job and roles to get an envelope of what the company actually needs vs. what they say they need.

Can’t really so that with dating though!

Deaths! I guessed the Pokémon!

AI is not healthy. Our mental health is nowhere near good enough to handle even this level of machine intelligence.

Even the cheapest most under-powered home router these days uses a multicore processor from the last decade. Uniprocessor definitely seems like the special case.

The title for this article could be much better. It should mention that SMP support code is soon becoming a mandatory kernel feature and will be included even for kernels running on truly uniprocessor systems. Kernel developers feel it’s just not worth maintaining special cases for uniprocessors.

I don’t want to fight my software being actively designed to do what some third party wants it to do. I rather it break for technical reasons rather than political ones.

I have such a shitty BIOS. It is pain, because the option ought to be there, but the software is so incredibly basic that it exposes virtually no useful settings outside of time and date + boot order.

Interesting, but I wonder who’s using F2FS. I believe some Android vendors tried it and reverted due to long term performance concerns. Much like with BTRFS, it’s going to be difficult to shake those earlier impressions.

Great move for Facebook. It’ll let them claim they’re doing something to curb horrid content on the platform without actually doing anything.
