Agreed. 2026 was the year. The degradation of win 11 , forced win accounts everywhere. I switched to Linux Mint, and I haven't switched back. Missing out on a few random games that aren't supported yet, I decided it was time to ge

"Somebody said Aliens, she thought they said Illegal Aliens, sign up" Taking the whole UAP thing and turning it into a crusade against allegedly illegal immigrants is some top tier shitposting.

This is great. Nice work. The galaxy explorer/map in Elite: Dangerous is pretty good, I wish they would produce a stand-alone application of just the galaxy map, whether it's even close to correct or not, who knows, but it's

The fastest 1km I ever ran was around 3m20s, I felt like I was sprinting, and was fully cooked at the finish line. Afterwards I did some quick numbers and realised the average marathon runner was not only going a lot quicker than I was, but

Thanks for those, but I can't trust that a random post to a mailing list from a compromised email address, to provide backing to someone else's argument is proof of life

When did Satoshi make an appearance in 2015? I couldn't find the spot in the article where the author cites it. Everywhere I've read it states his last interactions were 2010, and his wallet hasn't been touched since then eit

I agree, but I'm sure Bazzite/CachySteamOS all have support for them on boot.

yeah, on install you select a window manager, I didn't bother trying any others, just opted to go to Debian instead

I tried cachy, but I decided I hate the kde plasma environment, I should have chosen some other window manager but wanted to try the recommended one there is also something to be said, negatively, for the number of distros now, cambrian exp

I feel like this commitment to Windows quality post is actually just copilot generated slop. Someone in the comments here said nobody loves Windows. I probably did love Windows 7. I felt that it was the best of all worlds, huge support for

And Turbo Pascal was CHEAP, I think in terms of what you got for your $50? I can't remember the original retail price, you couldn't beat it. Hell, if you kept your eye out you could get copies of Delphi, / Delphi 3 for the co

Mate I've got a project whose first lines of code were struck back in the 80s in Turbo pascal. Your "continuously deprecated" argument doesn't hold a lot of water from where I sit... In terms of actual language features&
