I think it's time for some international observers, bitch!

Don't try Linux because some asshat on Fedi tells you to.

Try Linux because you have no friends, don't go out because you have anxiety, and want to pretend you are still capable of feeling, like a normal person.

Scarlett Johansson took on Disney. And won.

She beat the fucking mouse.

Does Sammy Simp really think he stands a chance in hell?

"Ideal for hobbyist/developer"

No hobbyist is going to pay €1600 excl. shipping for a paperweight. Retrocomputing has been entirely ruined, and all the fun has been sucked out of it, doubly so if you live in Europe, and triply so if you live in Arctic Europe.

Let me make it very clear that any American on my timeline who does not go out and vote for Biden in November (barring legitimate reasons like sickness etc.) will be instantly blocked. This includes people who don't vote, and people who vote third party or who do similar things that help fascist Trump get elected.

Anyone who does not vote for Biden is complicit in more dead Palestinians, more dead Ukrainians, more dead LGBTQ people, more dead pregnant women, more dead babies.

Imagine having such a sick and twisted parasocial relationship with an actress that you spend billions trying to make a chatbot that illicitly uses her voice.

Sam Altman is the world's horniest, saddest simp.

I see we're trotting out "the end of x86" again.

Alpha. SPARC. PowerPC. MIPS. PA-RISC. Itanium.

Only an absolute idiot would predict the end of x86 because a few ARM laptops have better battery life.

Holy smokes does this website bring Firefox on to its knees. Even two Xeons and Radeon Pro w5700 can't carry this.

Firefox removing PWA support is and forever will be one of the dumbest decisions Mozilla has ever made.

It's funny how LLMs and code generator "AI" is always trained on other people's content and code.

Citizen of Sweden with the nationality of a fascist state.

I never thought being Dutch was something I'd have to be ashamed about.

Anybody who claims Nintendo stands for quality has never:

  1. Held an original Switch after it's been used for a few years.
  2. Has never browsed the Switch eShop and its immense collection of paedophilia-adjacent porn games that litter the main list of games.

New Xeons are in. I really hate cleaning thermal paste.

Now I get to discover if my undocumented Chinese dual-X99 board even supports E5 V4 Xeons. Exciting! 🫠

Ah this Fedi meta is giving me flashbacks to that time several popular hachyderm.io people ganged up on me for defending the wrong kind of trans people.

Hachyderm.io cares about trans people - just not the expressive, non-conforming, lovingly weird ones.

If you're on hachyderm, consider moving to a better instance. It's shit.

@osnews, where Apple is just another company and not the hand that feeds me, where I treat Linux and BSD without the constant ignorant ridicule straight out of 2002 like the rest of the tech media, where I put quotation marks around "AI", and where I cover a wide variety of topics you won't find anywhere else, all with honesty and openness about my own limitations in understanding. Also sometimes with my weirdness on full display, but not too often.

To keep @osnews alive, consider supporting it through Patreon, Ko-Fi, Liberapay, or our merch store.
