  Sounds like half of the process your average Windows debloater goes through every time they update?

  Well yeah but I also ate for the last time until I’ll eat again this evening, right?

  You can simply turn the last time into the not-last time at any point in the future

  I can cook, I love cooking in fact.

  I can’t afford to order food every day (price is usually about 10x that of a cheap home cooked meal here) but I totally get it.

  When I get home after a fucking annoying day at work, I hardly want to exist, much less exist and spend time and effort cooking dinner.

  But since I’m not rich I just eat bread or cook anyway lol

  I mean, there’s Scottish English (inb4 someone tells me about Glaswegian being different than $idk), American English etc, so Euro-English might be a tad broad but I’m sure it exists.

  And then there’s German English which a lot of my older coworkers seem to excel at… “Ja, also, as you see, ve have here not a problem anymore, ja, and ze dropped calls are removed from this node, okeh?” (real quote from a regional manager)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always your first reaction at work⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reality:

  Someone found some issue that needs fixed yesterday and there is some important customer complaining about it so I’ll be busy for the next three and a half weeks

  No thanks

  I know it’s not exactly the point of the article but for a lot of things, I reckon a good amount of ‘innovation’ was pretty pointless. I personally don’t think I ever needed anything that Office 2003 can’t do… (Of course I don’t use any MS office to begin with but you get the point)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OneUI means Samsung.

  Samsung means: can’t do shit in the US, limited shit outside of the US. AFAIK most custom ROMs, especially for higher end Samsung’s are OneUI based. They also make it difficult (or impossible?) to use VoLTE/VoNR with custom ROMs because of their own proprietary IMS stack

  Not quite.

  $16k to get closer to what they promised lol Probably won’t do that much considering the added weight

  I agree on the part that Musk sucks, OpenAI also sucks.

  And yup, open source (if you can really call them that, I’d say they’re more like openly available) locally hosted LLMs are cool and have gotten pretty efficient nowadays.

  My 5 year old M1 MacBook Pro runs models like Qwen3:14b at decent speeds and it’s quite capable (although I only ever use it for bullshitting lol).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even PewDiePie thinks you should install Linux on your computer after saying he was "tortured by Windows"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think the video was bad and I’m glad desktop Linux is getting a good amount of attention this way.

  But… I feel like he didn’t exactly show windows users what really expects them on Mint (which is a very similar but in many ways better and quite easy experience). This might be off putting to some unconvinced Windows users.

  His Hyprland setup looks cool if you’re into that sorta thing but it’s just not what users just switching to mint, fedora, whatever might be looking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can't beat the classics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well in some ways they are. It also depends a lot on the hardware you have of course. A normal 16GB GPU won’t fit huge LLMs.

  The smaller ones are getting impressively good at some things but a lot of them are still struggling when using non-English languages for example.

  Pretty sure £4 is below minimum wage, especially since you’re exposed to such hazardous materials?

  They should be getting way more for taking care of this monstrosity.
