The "error" is designed to boost engagement, which makes the post more visible on social media.
And it works.

‘IRL Fakes:’ Where People Pay for AI-Generated Porn of Normal People (www.404media.co)

A Telegram user who advertises their services on Twitter will create an AI-generated pornographic image of anyone in the world for as little as $10 if users send them pictures of that person. Like many other Telegram communities and users producing nonconsensual AI-generated sexual images, this user creates fake nude images of...

This, but unironically.

Debian is the only distro in my recent memory that crashed into an unbootable state right after a default installation.
Manual Arch installation is tedious and unnecessary if you've done it once, and the automated archinstall fails too often. Other than that, I've had literally zero issues with it.

KISSmyOS ,

Can I take the 20 dollars three times?

KISSmyOS ,

You pay for the convenience.
I don't often need to print something, but when I do, it's usually outside of the opening hours of a print shop and I'm in a hurry.
(95% of my printing are fantasy RPG floor plans that I've downloaded literally 5 minutes before the players show up.)

KISSmyOS ,

Call Microsoft about a bug and tell me how well their support works for you.

Pretty well, actually.

KISSmyOS ,

With the current Windows 11 installer this doesn't work anymore.
But you can download the ISO, use Rufus to create a USB boot stick and disable all the requirements (account, RAM, TPM, CPU generation) in Rufus' options. Also lets you auto-deny all telemetry options and create a user account without prompting.

KISSmyOS ,

Because Windows 10 Support runs out next year.

KISSmyOS ,

You got to do it 3 times.

Prevention is key:

My kitty is an evil tech wizard.
She crashed a newly installed default Debian Stable into an unbootable state, just by walking across the keyboard.

KISSmyOS ,

Forget about it and go to sleep for 16 hours. It will eventually stop screaming.

Prepare to be disappointed. This is how Linux disciples have sex (SFW).

Just a shot in the dark, but have you logged out and back in at any point?
Some settings can't be applied in a running session.

Yes, IMO. If you haven't bought the hardware yet, there's no reason to subject yourself to the headache of lacking Linux support, instead support companies that value open source.
AMD and Intel GPU's simply work out of the box with all features.

And it's not like on a laptop you need the highest of high end graphics acceleration anyway.

Microsoft is once again injecting pop-up ads into Google Chrome on Windows in a bid to get people to switch to Bing (www.theverge.com)

The software giant first introduced malware-like pop-up ads last year with a prompt that appeared over the top of other apps and windows. After pausing that notification to address “unintended behavior,” the pop-ups have returned again on Windows 10 and 11....

“We value providing our customers with choice, so there is an option to dismiss the notification.”

Thank you daddy Microsoft for still letting me click "no" on your invasive popup ad with a dark pattern to make me change my system settings.

"Or you can just purchase any of those features permanently"

This fact, hidden somewhere in the middle, makes the entire article pointless.

KISSmyOS ,

That's not what that word...you know what, fuck it. I give up. Enshittification now just means "becoming worse" and I won't be able to stop that.

KISSmyOS ,

If you read more than the headline, you'd know that you can simply purchase those options instead of subscribing, if you want.
Which makes the entire article pointless. But you'd need to read more than the headline to see that, which is too much to ask.

I prefer honey cause I'm no goddamn liberal hippie, so it's important to me that animals were killed for my food.

  1. There is no replacement that has exactly the same features, because that would be identical software
  2. There is no software that is bug/issue free

There are replacements that can do the same tasks and offer advantages over Microsoft Office (LibreOffice, Nextcloud Office, Collabora Office, Softmaker Office). Their main issue is that they aren't what everyone uses.
The other issue is that Microsoft Office itself respects neither the open document standard, nor their own published standard for the .docx format, so it's literally impossible for anyone outside Microsoft to make a 100% compatible program.

KISSmyOS ,

Nothing. They do nothing but sit at the feet of god's throne and worship him for all eternity.

Unfortunately, the Fediverse shows you everything by default rather than things that you more or less want to

Uh no, that's a good thing.

It already is, but it isn't mandatory, yet.

I'm sad that you have to throw out all the init scripts you've written in 30 years.
Maybe stick with Slackware? I'm pretty sure you'll fit in well there.

KISSmyOS ,

Arch is the least buggy distro I ever tried.

Except for Slackware maybe. Slackware has literally no bugs. If it doesn't behave like it should, it's your fault.

KISSmyOS ,

My Ubuntu broke literally every time I did a version upgrade. It's probably better now, but I'm not going back.
The last system that straight up broke for me was a default installation of Debian Stable, and that wasn't long ago.

I understand Arch isn't easy to use or maintain.
But in my opinion, if you use something wrong and it breaks, that doesn't mean it's unstable. And if you update Arch by simply hitting "pacman -Syu" every day, you're doing it wrong.

KISSmyOS ,

I always find it kinda weird when people criticize free software.
Like, the developers make something, give it to you for free, pay for server space so you can download it for free, and then you say "it sucks".
OK, just don't use it then.

KISSmyOS ,

I discovered yesterday that Windows has a command line package manager in Powershell that can install, uninstall and update basically every software you might ever want to install on a Windows PC.

I had a feeling this tool and its syntax was much too simple and elegant for it to be created by Microsoft.

I can't even tell anymore whether this meme is pro-Democrat or pro-Republican, anti-American, anti-Semitic, post-ironic or just cursed.

KISSmyOS ,

My stance on this conflict is:
"I'm German. I'm gonna sit my ass down and shut the fuck up before I accuse Jews of genocide."

KISSmyOS ,

Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit for everyone.

Ah yes, German unity and law for everyone. This sounds familiar...

KISSmyOS ,

How could it be anti-Semitic? Anti-American?

If I were a Russian propagandist tasked with eroding support for Biden and reducing US influence in the middle east, this wouldn't be a bad meme to post.

KISSmyOS OP ,

no, I don't.

KISSmyOS OP ,

Your opinion seems to be immutable.
But I'm not rolling over.

KISSmyOS ,

Will I get banned if I leave without posting?
