  The fact that it sold out proves that no one wants it?

  I can see that bodybuilders are not attractive to most people, but how are their bodies ‘fake’? Getting to look like that is hard work, and not just a matter of money, makeup and plastic surgery.

  What about tikz?

  Ever heard of a cloaka?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows is just not quite there yet for desktop use. Give them a few years to clean up their sharp edges and clunky UX and add some long overdue features, then maybe it’ll be a real alternative.

  With the 10G NIC upgrade, I would see some use in this if it ran Linux

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grr Windows⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe this is due to my flake setup, but the way I currently update (nix flake update, then nixos-rebuild) I can only update everything at once. At times, this can feel clunky compared to e.g. arch which lets me update individual packages. Do you have any suggestions on how to do partial updates?

  Damn, he really has his shit together

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have also encountered games that needed tweaking (like changing settings in an .ini file that weren’t visible in the game’s menu) to run in an acceptable way on windows. Does this mean that Windows is ‘not quite there yet’, or is the game to blame?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but which drivers do you have in mind? You can install Linux on almost any machine, and if there are driver issues the culprits are usually nvidia, realtek, etc. for which Microsoft is hardly responsible.

  The big Windows 10 problem is that it is Windows.

  But 8% and 13% are both below 10

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hmmmm⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In high school, I used to be frustrated by this as well. But now, I’ve come to appreciate being able to get a reminder for a definition or a famous result just by googling and clicking on the resulting wikipedia page. Way better than having to find and dig through a badly-scanned pdf of a paper from the 70s which presented the definition that everyone in the field now uses.

  Not familiar with iphones, can’t you just use plain wireguard?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Is ‘Thinking Through’ How to Make the Pixel Watch Repairable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like something you would think about while, you know, designign a product? And not after its release?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mornings⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My condolences.
