Go fuck yourself Wired. This used to be a cool magazine written by people in the know, now it’s Murdoch-grade fearmongering.

I thought I liked it and that it had enough users, thank you for setting me straight.

Pretty please, fuck off with the AI. It’s really not something I need from a browser, don’t inflate your download size for a screen reader, just MAKE IT OPTIONAL in every way.

That ship has sailed, I thoroughly nuked an account that almost could have drunk in the us and I’d be fucked if I make another after the assholes restored my comments as by [deleted] or some shit and now they’re training fucking electronic snoids to parrot my wisdom and humor to obsolete me. It’s the principle I object to, I piss in this pot here knowing full well there’s runoff across the fediverse and I’d never be able to sponge back all the piss, but those assholes lie and steal.

Pretty please fuck off Mozilla, I always click on this bullshit in trepidation it’s another mandatory pocket or something, I am actually happy these days when it’s just this milquetoast corporate rolplaying

It’s just rtorrent in a detached tmux window.

The only reason I’m still using Canonical’s bullshit after they tried to kill Unity, tried to force Snap on me and put ads in the shell is because of Rudra Saraswat. His Ubuntu Unity flavor is really good once you remove snapd.

Well, no wonder, they took the Northern Boys off Spotify.

I still wouldn’t use it, but Elon should buy it so he can more convincingly posture a saviour of independent social media. Just drop the tracking, sell square ads on the sidebar based on content only, open up api for all sorts of uses and make rif is ridiculous fun for reddit the official client. Give it to five geeks to maintain and call it a public service. What’s a bit more down the drain? It’s all gonna go Midas anyways. At least that would be a win for the internets

I don’t upgrade Ubuntu, just unmount home, tar the configs for reference and install the new one. I’ve lost more time in the past to hunting gremlins on an upgrade than doing a clean install and applying my configs.

I like Flatpak and despise Snap (on a personal computer, it’s tolerable on a server) enough to sudo apt remove and purge snapd from a new installation. The startup time is slow and I hate having snaps as mountpoints. It doesn’t help that Firefox is by default a Snap on Ubuntu - it feels as if you’re starting it on a mechanical HD with a Core2Duo processor and you can really appreciate how stupid having such a core app as a browser is as Snap when you add the PPA and install it as a deb package. Don’t even get me started on the asinine “we update when we want to” that makes you restart your browser at most inopportune times. I hate Snap so much it’s unreal.
