Personally, I felt like Win8 was an over correction in favor of touch screens vs Win7. Win8.1 was kind of the sweet spot for getting touch screen functionality into Windows while maintaining a consistent UI between tablets, laptops, and desktops. So much so that I would consider it to be separate point on the chart between 8 and 10.

Win10 did improve the UI a bit over that, but was so much of a step backwards in basically every other regard that I do consider that the point at which Windows started trending consistently downwards. As in, Win10 should be lower then Win7 on that curve, with Win11 lower than that, and no real hope that any future updates or versions will ever improve anything.

That is generally what I use in my homelab. Though I’ve found that Fedora works a bit better for a general purpose daily workstation OS.

Did you even read the wiki? It’s so easy! Totally beginner friendly provided a basic level of literacy.

/s, hopefully obviously. Arch is a fragile house of cards.

I think you mean here.

GrapheneOS has the option for a scheduled reboot if the phone hasn’t been unlocked for a configurable amount of time.

You would cause climate change in the form of nuclear winter with the press of a button.

I like it cold, press the button.

To be fair to Meta, they did tell you they might do that. They didn’t lie. They just told you in the find print of an already convoluted and arcane legal document that they know most people would never read, fewer would understand, and no one could do anything to change.

So unlike Tesla, where they did lie about FSD’s capabilities, and that is at best false advertising but probably actually fraud, Meta at least had a thin veneer of plausible deniability against accusations of being liars when they sold your data to unknown third-parties because they did tell you about it, you just needed a law degree to understand what they were telling you.

No redundancy? No high availability? No clustering? What are you even doing man? One server? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta bump those numbers up.

/s, obviously. You do you, and whatever works for your needs/budget.

Yeah, setting up qBittorrent plus an RSS feed and VPN takes very little time and effort. Not much harder than signing up for a subscription service. Then maintaining it is as simple as updating your RSS feed with new anime you want to watch at the start of the season or when you find something you’d like to see.

Plex can be a bit of pain to setup to properly scrape anime, but there are some good guides out there. Jellyfin is easier, but setting it up for remote access is more difficult.

All in all, it’s a bit more up front effort for an overall better experience than having to juggle several monthly subscriptions every anime season just to watch everything you want to watch.

If you want to support the creators, buy the blu-rays when they come out.

I think he meant the Ur-Dick, the primordial penis, the first phallus, the archetypal dong all men strive for.

I thought I had too much to drink. Turns out MC Escher decided to make a surrealist dachshund.

I love it, but it doesn’t pair well with soju.

I know it’s a typo, but the image of Lobo, DC’s heavy metal space biker, reading books to someone while they lie in bed is hilarious.

Use Solaris. You can’t have mental health issues if your brain is on the wall.

The changed the driver model and broke compatibility with any device that didn’t get updated drivers. Which created a fuck-load of ewaste and unnecessary expenditure as people had to replace otherwise functional devices.

It also ran like absolute dog-shit even on PC’s that exceeded the recommended requirements by fairly significant margins.

And until Vista SP2 came out, it remained a buggy, broken, mess of an OS.

Also, given the promises Microsoft made about Project Longhorn (Vista’s cancelled predecessor) and the several years worth of delays Vista had Microsoft had no excuse for releasing an OS that was buggy, poorly optimized, and incompatible with most hardware more than two years old. Vista was supposed to release in 2003, it came out in 2007.

Windows 7 was what Vista should have been and what Windows should have stayed.

If you’re in a country that typically drives on the left, and you’re driving in the far right lane on a three or more lane road, you’re still doing it wrong. That lane is for merging and exiting. The far left is for passing and the center lanes are for cruising. There might also be turn only lanes, which unless you’re turning can be safely ignored, because the only valid reason to be in a turn lane is if you’re turning.

That just sounds like they need better NSFW tagging and enforcement of NSFW tags.

Give nothin’ back

Aperture Science, we do what we must because we can.

Well, mine doubles as a convenient place to store my grilled cheese

I’d recommend it, can’t say why I’d recommend it, I just remember really enjoying Legion.

From what little I do remember, I think starting over would be a good idea.
