This is anecdotal but I don't think I've run a high-end Windows game yet on Linux/Proton that didn't run better than it did on Windows. It's kind of silly.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I think https://endeavouros.com/ probably has the best OS installer ever. Obviously I haven't tried every installer for every OS, but I don't know what could beat a ~6 minute total time from Boot from USB -> Choose settings (lang/kb layout/timezone/partitions/desktop environment) -> Wipe Disk + rank mirrors + download and install all base packages -> reboot into OS.

Hearing that Recall is exclusive to Copilot+ machines with NPUs is a an extremely good reason to never buy a Copilot+ machine with NPU

> With Recall, locating files in a large download pileup or revisiting your browser history is easy. You can give commands to Recall in natural language, eliminating the need to type precise commands.

I'm sorry, but AI is mostly just doing simple things, incredibly inefficiently, in the most creepy way.

2. Ok, can't use Linux, then I can use Parsec to connect to the windows pcs in the office and use those, great.
3. Parsec only has a deb file for Linux. I don't use a debian based distro. It's annoying but it's actually fine because I can just extract the package with dpkg, and the deb literally just has a single exe with some desktop fluff, and I apparently already have all required packages installed so running the binary works fine, great.

Had one of those "maybe I should start checking out job opportunities" meetings today. Fun times.

"I talked to GPT-4 to find as many of the different.."

Really looking forward to more trash issues/PRs that have this kind of stuff in them.

Does Musk send thugs to pummel writers who write "on Twitter" instead of "on X, formerly Twitter" or something? Like, everyone knows what Twitter is...just say Twitter, no one but Musk cares about X. Plus it maybe helps their word count.

I usually dev on my home machine which runs Fedora, and literally ever time I use my laptop running PopOS it's a jarring experience due to how outdated apt packages are. For example, I need to use --set-upstream when pushing a new branch because apt has git 2.34, which is...2 years old. Might have to just change apt to use unstable packages, but, ugh.

The tragedy of Europe is every restaurant with an outdoor patio is the exclusive domain of smokers.

There is a lot to love about this place, but the smoking everywhere is a turd in the punchbowl.
