It brings me joy to know that corporations are trusting other corporations to not rip each other off. Wage theft is more lucrative than whatever product or service being sold. As if AI companies exists to help anyone other than themselves . The only way this works is if the largest paying companies work out some kind of kick back, pyramid, price fixing scheme. I really appreciate Claude for how it’s assisted me in fixing things but I know that someday AI will exist solely for the rich.

When I was a child teachers had us watch black and white footage of people fighting each other for loafes of bread, some anti communist propaganda. It was actually scary to watch, I never forgot about it. Now I’m actually scared that could happen here.

What’s odd is that id allow myself to catch on fire if it meant that the asshole billionaires burned with me. It would be so satisfying if all of their money became toilet paper. All those rich doomsday peppers would be executed by roaming gangs of ex military veterans. That’s my fever dream

I thought North and south bridges still existed. That architecture stopped in 2008… Wtf

Unfortunately robots are not able to think critically

Unless you can actually afford the ram prices, just play older games. There’s a ton of AAA games that I’ve never played.

Then there’s tons of remastered games too. I haven’t touched those. Older games are affordable and run on max settings with any modern computer.

We already have a life time of quality games and computer parts in circulation.

I think when we look back at this time we will see how new games are optimized and intended to run on lower end hardware rather than the “look how real it is” formula.

A good example is borderlands. Cell shading was created because it was aesthetically pleasing while also consuming the least amount of resources. When optimization and performance were no longer a problem, games like border lands used cell shading but still required all lot of resources.

There is a surprisingly good amount of free games and movies, it would actually save me time if they were to “ban vpns”

I have unlimited games that I’ve been meaning to play from the years 2004 to like 2018

They have been doing this for a long time. I had to reverse out the drive through in Sedona Arizona

If you get Microsoft office to install and function, let me know how you did

Microsoft office is still their best product but many words apps such as only office are becoming comparable. Microsoft Access and excels cross compatibility with other office apps is unmatched

Without reading the article I would add that most women aren’t into the whole “save the planet by breeding with genius alpha tech bro’s” fantasy. It might even be turn off.

I use an app called freetube

If your having issues with ad blockers then this might be worth a try

disroot.org is a worthy mention. From their faq: What services can I use with my Disroot account? Your account allows you to use the following services with the same username and password:

Email Cloud Akkoma Chat The rest of the services (Pads, PasteBin, Upload, Search, Audio, Calls, Translate) don’t require any registration. Some need the creation of a specific account (Forgejo, Cryptpad, Scribe).

It’s kinda hilarious that omarchy is just another cringey right wing safe space. As usual it’s a small group of individuals with a ton of dirty cash. The linux community is notoriously socialist in leanings. Any right wing linux users would feel isolated, because theyre fringe, they spend as much money as they want for advertising they still be alone.

I forgot about fedora. It runs really well. I forget that’s what I would use if Arch wasn’t around. I actually loved slackware, I just need them to update their kernel more than once a decade. When I was running old hardware it was fun. I don’t know why it’s so satisfying. I think it just feels like home…

I think the best way to counter this is to fix Ubuntu. It has what it needs to work as an introductory distro. I don’t know what made Ubuntu so bloated and buggy but I bet it’s salvageable. I’m not saying Ubuntu was ever the greatest but it was one of the first distro to be simple to use.

When I first came over from windows in 2013 Ubuntu detected all of my hardware and would install drivers by clicking a button. That seems like not a big deal now but then it felt like a miracle, it gave me a chance to learn about Linux while it was also functional.

If omarchy takes that new user crowd it might actually be a problem. Omarchy might fail if they don’t keep stealing from Arch development.

Maybe I’m out of touch because I have no idea what new linux users go to today. Steamos? What are the usual hurdles that new users face in 2026?

I don’t think that’s true. I’ve been bombarded with omarchy ads for months. I had no idea what is was about but it just kept popping up on my feeds. It’s good to talk about it because until now I just thought it was a new popular arch based distro.

My point is that I think a ton of the money is spent on spreading the word about the new and cool thing. It’s important to counter that campaign

It’s so frustrating that I can’t run office software. But why is adobe a problem?
