  • New York Post accidentally campaigns for Zohran

    Jump

  • More than half of these people are over 30. None are younger than 25.

    All of the founding fathers save for Adams and Washington were younger than this when the declaration of independence was signed.

  • Hundreds of struggling Arkansas farmers ask federal government to save them

    Jump

  • What's the over/under that Arkansas farmers actually learn from this and stop voting Republican?

  • Mint is so much more usable than the last time I tried and I'm in love

    Jump

  • Regarding Kubuntu, I don't like snaps and don't want to have to worry about disabling them after every major update

    Regarding Fedora, I really like aptitude and don't want to give it up

  • I just want a KDE variant without having to manually install it

  • Visitors dropped for a 6th straight month in Las Vegas as head of tourism insists Sin City isn't dead

    Jump

  • Vegas used to be a pretty cheap destination for a vacation that saw a ton of profit from the sheer amount of people that funneled there.

    It used to be that you would sometimes get buffet and drinks comped if you spent enough time gambling, and that incentive would keep you in that casino continuing to gamble instead of going to a different place. The cost of a buffet meal and a couple highballs was a small price to pay to keep someone at the tables for another couple hours.

    Now(within the last 15 years), Vegas is leaning away from being the worldwide gambling destination and leaning more into fine dining and live shows. This has changed the entire economy there and everything is crazy expensive if you're anywhere near the strip.

    This is all to say nothing about the drop in tourism in general because you might just get assaulted when you enter the country by some twat from ICE if your skin is darker than a hotel towel.

  • [minor spoilers] Promise Mascot Agency

    Jump

  • I bounced off of this game initially because I didn't care for the mascot management aspect. I think I need to revisit it with adjusted expectations as most people love it so I must be missing something.

    I much preferred their prior game, Paradise Killer.

  • It Took Many Years And Billions Of Dollars, But Microsoft Finally Invented A Calculator That Is Wrong Sometimes

    Jump

  • Yeah, no doubt.

    Having access to visual basic is dangerous enough, let alone Python

  • Blue No Matter Who?: Jeffries Slammed for 'Gutless' Refusal to Endorse Zohran Mamdani

    Jump

  • "no you stupid leftist, 'blue no matter who' only applies when you're voting for milquetoast neolibs"

  • Under the hood (not de's or gui) what REALLY separates linux from windows?

    Jump

  • At a super basic level, MacOS, Linux, and Windows all use different kernels.

    From a very basic viewpoint. The kernel is basically the piece of software that gives each piece of hardware their instructions.

    At the absolute most basic level, assuming equal hardware, all the kernels are working with same set of instructions(store this value in this register, move to this location in the stack, read this value, etc) but they issue those instructions in different orders to achieve very different results.

    The NT kernel that windows uses does basically everything in a different way than the Linux kernel. To the point that their only real similarities are that they speak the same language to the bare metal hardware.

  • Techrights — Internet Relay Chat and Gemini Protocol Help Us Relive the Net of the Dial-Up Era

    Jump

  • Discord circa 2018 was pretty much everything I'd want in a modern IRC.

    If they can just bring that set of features, I'd switch back to IRC in a heartbeat.

  • Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery

    Jump

  • The pathological need to find something to use LLMs for is so bizzare.

    Venture capital dumped so much money into the tech without understanding the full scope of what it was capable of. Now they're so in so deep that they desperately NEED to find something profitable it can do, otherwise they'll lose the farm.

  • She ate a poppy seed salad. Child services took her baby.

    Jump

  • Honestly at this point we should stop offering Poppy seeds in normal goods. drug testing people in most cases.

    It just reenforces the notion that drug use is a moral failing.

  • what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?

    Jump
    • Chrono Trigger
    • Link to the Past
    • Super Mario RPG

  • A popular Japanese anime flag has become a symbol of resistance

    Jump

  • "There are some people who are participating in this trend … and haven't read One Piece from the start," he said.

    Wow, anime fans really haven't changed in the last 40 years, huh

  • What problems does Linux have to overcome to get more users

    Jump

  • Yeah, this is pretty much it.

    Microsoft took over the computing world because they built a really good enterprise management toolset. Say what you will about their shitty business practices both in history and today, both AD and GPO are fucking incredible pieces of software. Microsoft Office and Exchange email are also pretty much the only game in town unless you want to jump to Google which is objectively worse.

    Those tools meant that workplaces adopted Windows instead of Mac and Linux and slowly transitioned their Unix servers to Windows. Then people started getting PCs at home, and they didn't want to learn a whole new OS. Guess what, Windows is also available for home use and does all the same things that your office PC does.

    Now that Microsoft has the vast majority of the install base on PCs, it's not economically viable to develop or troubleshoot software for the other platforms, as you're putting in a ton of extra time for about 5% of users.

    Until Linux can promise ~90% compatibility with all software and they can put out some kind of real competition to AD and GPO, people are going to take the path of least resistance and just get Windows.

  • Should I eat it and jump to win11?

    Jump

  • As most people suggest, I'd also recommend going with Windows 11 for this use case, but with the caveat that you should get a Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC license if you can find it.

    It's the best version of the OS. It only pushes security updates, no new features ( this means xbox and candy crush won't magically show up in your start menu after major updates) and it comes with all the AI and Microsoft Store stuff stripped out.

    Theoretically, this OS was designed for things like kiosk computers and control systems that need to maintain a stable environment, but it can do everything the pro version does with no hassle.

    The downside is that it's hard to find. Microsoft won't sell it outside of volume license keys under enterprise agreements, but it is available through grey-market key sellers, and can be activated using the MAS if the high seas are an option.

  • Next BioShock Game Suffers From More Development Hell After Failing an Executive Review

    Jump

  • The game’s narrative was identified as an area that was particularly in need of improvement and will be revamped in the coming months

    I really don't trust executives to be the arbiters of what is considered good narrative. I hope they didn't just kneecap the writing because it wouldn't appeal to as many people as possible.

  • Canada plans to recognize Palestinian state in September, Carney says

    Jump

  • By the way, I'm not throwing shade towards Canada specifically.

    Please throw shade towards us. Our lack of action here was largely because we wanted to stay on good terms with the US, who made their position abundantly clear.

    Our government calculated that there would be harm done to our country if the US decided to twist some economic screws. But then Trump was elected and it happened anyway and we look like patsies.
