- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 1 week ago:
My late-aughts XPS is a gem - milled aluminum, edge-to-edge glass, and the best laptop keyboard ever since Ye Olde Thinkpads. The glory days of chasing Apple with a Windows box and almost getting there. *pours 40*
That said, their QE went to shit, they pulled that bullshit RTO to soft-layoff everyone, laid off everyone else directly, and spent a ton to hire non-US replacements who aren’t up to speed so they can leverage the exciting benefits of AI (lol).
I’ll never understand why they didn’t put huge effort into backing linux when micro$oft started making hardware. Well - I know why they didn’t. Because they make poor managerial decisions. C’est ça.
- Comment on Dell kills the XPS brand 1 week ago:
Ironically the people getting paid for this shit did come up with better names and they were all overturned by senior management who read a business book over the weekend. SSDD.

- Comment on Meta's Nick Clegg to step down, will be replaced by well-connected Republican 2 weeks ago:
Well they wouldn’t delete it when it was tracking everything and everyone they knew 24/7, they wouldn’t delete it when they jumped on the trump train in 2016, and they wouldn’t delete it when they kept Covid rolling in 2020, so why delete it now? Or Xitter? Embrace the evil! Lick it!
- Comment on FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court 2 weeks ago:
In its opinion, a three-judge panel pointed to a Supreme Court decision in June, known as Loper Bright, that overturned a 1984 legal precedent that gave deference to government agencies on regulations.
“Applying Loper Bright means we can end the F.C.C.’s vacillations,” the court ruled.
“Nyyeaahh nyyeaah nyyeaaaahh ppffthhhhthhth!!” they said.

- Comment on Wubuntu: The lovechild of Windows and Linux nobody asked for 1 month ago:
Oh man, I feel that pain. But here’s where I’m at: after so many decades of really trying, really trying to get them to learn what a file system is and how computers, y’know, work, I’m done.
Obviously I don’t do that work for pay, but when I did I went with the assumption that people were just ignorant, not stupid. Now I think they’re just incurious - which is a kind of stupidity. And since the vast majority of their lives are now controlled, monitored, or involve these systems they can’t be bothered to learn - yeah, sucks to be them.
- Comment on Wubuntu: The lovechild of Windows and Linux nobody asked for 1 month ago:
the developers have made a ton of questionable decisions.
Yeah, mimicking Windows being the first. The second is “pay $35 to ‘unlock the benefits’” is skeezy as hail.
- Comment on A surprise solar boom reveals a fatal flaw in our climate change projections 1 month ago:
The pattern is that Western energy forecasters are continually surprised by how much energy people in developing countries will consume. As countries like Pakistan grow wealthier, their people are going to demand the same energy-dependent conveniences that people in wealthy countries already do — and our energy forecasts must reflect that reality or we’re going to keep getting it wrong.
That seems like whoever’s doing the number crunching is an idiot.
