Reminder that you don’t have to do anything at all in life, and these who day otherwise are wrong.

For most of these you don’t need AI, just basic Photoshop skills.

Sure, but remember that there’s sometimes a scientific term used incorrectly, but it’s so widespread it has non-scientific definition in dictionary. Although thinking that insects are not animals is indeed stupid.

- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 1 month ago:
Exactly. And Spotify for example is horrendous. I don’t understand how people can use an app that is so slow and buggy.
- Comment on Linux boots in 4.76 days on the Intel 4004 1 month ago:
Now it takes 12 second for a single character to appear on the screen.
(Pressing Turbo button actually slowed down the CPU AFAIK).

- Comment on [rant] I want computers to become personal again 1 month ago:
My personal solution was to just drop computers/tech as an major interest, and find some other hobby. I found language learning to be a good alternative, because:
-
You may be able to use it professionally.
-
It might be useful when traveling.
-
You can meet interesting people from various parts of the world and very often for free (language exchanges (online or not), playing video games, etc.).
-
You are able to absorb other people’s massive culture, that might not be popular in your part of the world.
-
You might impress some people with language skills, if you care about that.
-
It is good for your brain.
-
It is fun.

That would be Minix 3, I think, because it runs in (yes, in) all modern Intel CPU’s.

- Comment on Typing these four characters could crash your iPhone | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
Stuff likes this me think that modern technology is glued together random shit that somehow works, or at least as long as you are using your phone like a zoomer or a normie which only scrolls Facebook. The moment you do something that is not done by >90% of users, you will only encounter random fucking bugs and freezes (although these also happen when normally using an app, see YouTube Music in which it takes forever to load the library while offline completely making downloading songs completely useless).
I have a moderately new mid (mid-high?) range phone (from 2021) and it’s crazy how often software freezes or just glitches the fuck up, despite of running on a device that’s probably millions times faster than a computer used to launch people to the fucking moon. In no period of history the technology was so unresponsive as nowadays.
- Comment on it's just that simple. Don't forget to exercise out of depression... 2 months ago:
I mean… it somewhat works? It won’t fix all your issues, but you will feel better, and it’s a good first part to get out of the depression. Although, I guess most people won’t be able to do that without some prescribed medication.
Speaking from my experience I mostly defeated my depression just by myself, even though I still feel depressed from time to time. But it is also a part of my character to not seek help from others, because in my childhood and in later years, no one really helped me in any major year, so I learned to force getting myself into be better shape, just because at some time in my life it felt like the only rational thing to do.
- Comment on Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s what I actually did on my secondary computer (laptop), where I dual booted Windows 10 and openSUSE Tumbleweed, before switching entirely to openSUSE.
I am planning to do the same for my main PC, but instead of doing different partitions for each OS, I will most likely give Linux (probably openSUSE as well, but I might try Fedora Atomic this time) an entire SSD for it’s use.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
That’s fine, I also pretty much prefer standard Unix tools, due to how efficient they are, but you can’t just say made up stuff with no valid explanation, because Powershell has still nothing to do with bash.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Powershell has a completely different approach of working with commands than traditional Unix shells. You pretty much don’t know what you are talking about.
- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Powershell at first seems to be weird and clunky, but after you get used to its syntax you can quickly look up and use its commands without much guessing.

- Comment on SanDisk introduces the first 8TB SD and 4TB microSD cards - Liliputing 2 months ago:
What would anybody even use 4 TB SD card for? Storing a shit-ton of pirated movies that you can watch on your phone? Aside from that I have no idea. 256 gigs is probably more than enough for anything a normal user would do on a phone.

A new episode looks sick! It’s an amazing what they do with a freakin’ 30-year old game! I love seeing stuff like this.
- Comment on I definitely never unsubscribed from a YouTube channel just for that... 3 months ago:
While theory and hypothesis are not the same if you are talking about science, in general everyday use theory is used a synonym.

- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 3 months ago:
Except that if you connect your phone to a computer using USB, it will transfer files using MTP and it’s pain in the ass, as it’s slow and unreliable. Sending files over Bluetooth is better (but not much) over using USB connection.
- Comment on Trump Airpods 3 months ago:
Are there bluetooth earphones that are connected by wire and share the same battery for both pieces?
- Comment on DVDs are dying right as streaming has made them appealing again 4 months ago:
Huh. I had a vague memory that my DVD player allowed regular movie files to be played, but maybe my memory is just bad.
