- Comment on Bye, Copilot: Microsoft is making Copilot a hands-free experience on Windows 4 days ago:
If Copilot is permanently built into Windows with no way to remove it regardless of SKU, then bye Windows.
- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 5 days ago:
RPis have been pulling off Linux on ARM pretty well in terms of software support for a while now, but they’re also tinkering boards and not necessarily good for a daily driver.
- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 6 days ago:
Can’t say I’m surprised given how much Qualcomm has prioritized Windows over Linux support for years now.
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 1 week ago:
PeerTube and Odysee have been a thing for a while. Also, Floatplane and Nebula for premium content.
- Comment on Would you date someone that uses a hammer? 1 week ago:
Well, that leaves anyone in a trade out of the dating pool then because most of them, eg. in the carpentry field, use hammers of some kind and in some way.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 1 week ago:
Assuming most of Hollywood isn’t already Windows based given that OS still takes up 66% of the desktop market while Mac only takes up 14%.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 1 week ago:
Apple is killing the Mac Pro.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 1 week ago:
The Mac Classic was the first Mac to sell for under $1k, and the ‘LC’ acronym stood for ‘Low-cost Color,’ that said IIRC even back then there were PC clones that were cheaper than the at-the-time cheapest Macs.
Also, IIRC the Apple IIc was sold as a cheaper variant of the Apple II line.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 1 week ago:
Maya still has a Windows port so it’ll be fine, also, Blender proved itself viable on the professional stage with Flow.
- Comment on RIP Mac Pro, I guess. 1 week ago:
I thought there were already some M-series iPads that gave some actual workstation laptops a run for their money though.

- Comment on Sam Altman and husband reportedly working to genetically engineer babies from having hereditary disease 1 week ago:
Similarly, the type of things currently going on with AI, most notably Grok being in bed with the Military, are what Terminator warns about.
-sigh- Dystopian/post-apocalyptic fiction is not supposed to be an instruction manual, guys…

Oh hell no, don’t bring Jurassic Park to the real world, please.
(JP did this with dinos, but this is the exact thing that franchise warned about)
- Comment on iRobot’s revenue has tanked and it’s almost out of cash | "Roomba customers are understandably concerned about the impact these current financial troubles might have on their home cleaning robots." 1 week ago:
Sebo stuff is also built really well too, or it better be given it’s commonly abused in a commercial setting.

Just buy a normal vacuum since those can still be used without web connectivity. Avoid anything made by TTI if you want your shit to last though.
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 1 week ago:
Why not just move here permanently and kill your Reddit since they clearly demonstrated they don’t want you there?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
That won’t be of much good should Tor or I2P get taken down too, and a major Tor exit node operator recently getting arrested doesn’t spell anything good on that end.
- Comment on Looking for a selfhostable chat service that people on phone and computers can log onto 1 week ago:
Matrix, also PeerSuite if you don’t wanna leave a paper trail.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 2 weeks ago:
Maya’s had a Linux port for years now; problem is you need to be running RHEL to get support.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 2 weeks ago:
Given MS has been testing Windows on the Cloud in the enterprise space for a while now, I wouldn’t be shocked if future major Windows versions, ie. Win12, became cloud-based.

This is why I’m glad PCs aren’t locked down like phones and there’s nothing stopping you from running an alt OS on the desktop yet.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 2 weeks ago:
We need an alternative made without googles shitty hands in the mix. This forced duopoly between Apple and Google sucks.
That goes for MS and Apple on the desktop too, and allegedly Google is trying to enter that space as well for the umpteenth time.
At least as far as PCs are concerned, they’re still unlocked at the bootloader level, despite MS’ attempts to lock that down, and there’s nothing stopping you from installing Linux or BSD on your PC still. Mobile devices outside a handful which aren’t locked down, unfortunately don’t have that luxury.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 2 weeks ago:
Android is a thing on flip phones too now though.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 2 weeks ago:
Don’t consider this a win, guys, this is more of an ‘Oh shit, we’re screwed if we follow through with this right now’ moment, there’s nothing stopping them from walking this back at a later, less turbulent date when no one’s paying attention, and locking Android down anyways, as this directly reminds me of the situation which caused WEI to be scrapped.

Good luck age-gating the local copies of Wikipedia for anyone who downloaded it.
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 2 months ago:
They don’t own your PC (yet)
- MS pretty much owns the desktop PC space with Windows though, and even though there’s nothing stopping you from installing an alt OS on PC generally, Win11 not supporting anything older than Zen+ or Coffee Lake and flat-out refusing to run on anything older than Bulldozer or Nehalem even without support because everything before those arches lacks the POPCNT instruction, isn’t a good sign to say the least.
- Comment on ‘Blueskyism’, Political Violence, and Open Social Networks Under Authoritarianism 2 months ago:
Although similar to the Fediverse’s ActivityPub, ATProto is set up at least in theory to prevent that in that someone could set up their own ATProto PDS, plus third-party AppViews are a thing as well.
ActivityPub still beats it in that it’s fully self-hostable and you basically own your Fediverse instance where ATProto still has to associated with Bsky somehow.

That’s basically what LibreWolf does.

So is RHEL.
