My computer at work runs windows. But I bought a cheap KVM switch and use my Linux laptop for all my personal web browsing and slacking off.

A friend in college was given a free CRT airport monitor. It was something close to 40" and weighed at least 500lbs. It took 4 of us to very angrily move it to his upstairs room.

Not all software available on Linux is open source. NVIDIA drivers for example. Hell, most of the games on Steam are closed source.

So, is it just a matter of principle on Valve and AMD’s part that they only want to ship with fully open source drivers?

I’m not technically knowledgeable enough to understand why you can’t just make the HDMI 2.1 part of the driver code closed source and the rest of the graphics drivers open?

Fake tree. Easier, safer, less messy. Yeah, it’s plastic, but it lasts as long as you want to keep using it. We just got a new one because we needed a skinny one for space reasons. But the old one we had for over a decade, and we sold it on to someone else.

My best guess is some local LLM AI bullshit running in terminal.

This article is seriously missing the point of pixelfed.

I use it for sharing art and photography and looking at art and photography. I do not want text posts on it. I have a separate mastodon account for that.

She is absolutely terrifying looking in that picture.

I put 200hrs into that game many years ago. Had a good time for a while, but it was one of those games where eventually a switch clicked in my brain and I felt like I was wasting my life away playing it. So I just stopped.

The last time I got interested in it again, I saw that the devs had basically abandoned it, or were relying on modders to do all the work to maintain it or something along those lines. I am glad to see people are keeping it alive and making it something more.

Firing squad. I’d wager you would have plenty of volunteer squad members.

You can thank Ghislaine Maxwell’s dad for that shit.

I’m far more bothered by them making Brave the built-in default browser, than I am by them charging for themes & tech support.

I by no means want to defend Microsoft. But I’m pretty sure that was said by an overzealous marketing person who didn’t understand correctly, and this was corrected by Microsoft soon after.

Or a stripper.

Yeah, I was pretty sure it’s a patent, copyright, or trademark thing.

Yet another ADHD meme that has me wondering if I have ADHD.

As a parent with a 4yr old boy, that whole read was terrifying and nauseating.

Hyundai is abusing labor in its US factories. Not exactly a morally superior choice. Lateral move at best.

God fucking dammit.

It was James Buchanan, not Van Buren that was a lifelong bachelor with a “roommate.”

I was just looking it up to make a comment about it. He was also a pro slavery president.

Lucky number 7.
