If you don't use Bing with Edge, Microsoft will tell you your computer needs repairing.

They are not wrong.

To mend your machine:

  1. Ditch Windows
  2. Install Plasma
  3. Your computer is ready.

@kde @kde I'd like to use Plasma, but the last time I tried it, it didn't run very well on my PC.

@analog @qaz This was not even a year ago. I'll stick with XFCE for now.

@qaz No. I use XFCE. I tried Plasma not even a year ago. Moving windows around made the low frame rate obvious.

I am half way through watching the interview of @pfefferle by @deadsuperhero & it is really good!

@pfefferle @darnell @deadsuperhero @photomatt @wedistributemedia @hello You tell me. Iโ€™m not a dev. All I know is that every time Iโ€™ve tried to make a blog with it, it was an awful, confusing, complicated, messy experience. And everyone always suggests it, like it the obvious, default choice. Itโ€™s one of the reasons I gave up trying to have my own website. Iโ€™m not a fan.

I should hate this. The stupid Adidas tracksuits, the silly cringy kicks from the guitarist who looks like someone's drunken uncle stumbled onto a music video set. The bassist guy with the mullet and porn-stache looks like the other drunken uncle is suffering a hangover. But dammit, this song kicks ass. The same goes for their other videos. Watching them, I want to facepalm through the back of my head, but the music rocks.

Well, I tried to accept #AI and view it as simply a new tool in the #artist arsenal. It's not. It's tฬถeฬถcฬถhฬถnฬถoฬถlฬถoฬถgฬถyฬถ #capitalists exploiting technology to turn us into drones with no creative outlet. AI will break #society. It will be worse than the #WorldWideWeb. Despite sci-fi literature and movies speculating on how AI might affect the world, it will be far more catastrophic than anyone could imagine. #Capitalism assures the worst possible outcome. The #singularity is supercharged capitalism.

    Listen, all you Anglophone leftists who think about the world in post-colonial terms:
    Palestinians are not "indigenous". There are no indigenous people in the Jordan valley, the regionhas been colonised again and again by one empire after another for thousands of years, dating back to the late Stone Age. Jews and Palestinians are close cousins, you can see in their genetic markers that today's Jews aren't very different from other inhabitants of that region.

    @LordCaramac I'm 53 and my entire life I've heard nothing good come out of the Middle East and Isreal. It's an endless stream of violence and bullshit. The only reason the rest of world cares is oil. This includes Isreal. If there was no oil in the region, Isreal would be S.O.L.

    What does "Voidkind" mean? DVNE's new album is called Voidkind, but I could not find any translation.

    Is the word made up? What could be the meaning of it?

    @thomas Iโ€™m pretty sure they just made it up because it sounds cool.

    I didn't used to be a "militant" user, but I've been bitten too many times by companies with . For example, DAW, - both companies that decided to say fuck you to perpetual licenses. Now, I try to avoid any proprietary application. I recently went looking for a good notes app and everyone loves . As soon as I saw it was closed source, I noped out and settled on . These companies will eventually fuck over customers so I won't waste my time.

    I'm rewatching and it's even funnier the second time. While it clearly has very specific Australian cultural touchstones, if you're from any small town in the Western world, it still feels very familiar. You've known people like this. The clash of modern sensibilities and conservative small town mentality will resonate with people, even if they aren't from Australia. It's also a great with clever twists and turns. I hope a second series happens.

    @thomas I'd like to think that it's for security. But we know it's about getting more people to sign up for their service. I'll still use them for the time being as they're the cheapest service.
