"Recent academic studies have confirmed this, finding that these tools are not only unreliable but are significantly more likely to flag text written by non-native English speakers as AI-generated. (And, again, we’re going to get back to this.) The irony is maddening: You spend a lifetime […]

Fuck this lol

It is difficult to express how bad microsoft’s authentication system is. like it’s not just “bad” or “broken” or “buggy”, it is a world-historic interaction design catastrophe. no matter how bad you think it is, no, it’s worse than that actually.

I love WoW still but I really miss progression being the experience (rather than this push/rush to end game). Took a small break before Dragonflight patches and just came back- annoyed that I was too leveled to queue any of the remaining DF dungeons/raids (even in follower mode!)- being nudged […]

I know Blizzard gets a ton of shit and rightfully so, but holy cow I'm so glad cursor size is in the accessibility features for D4. More diablo-like games should allow big ass cursors.

On another attempt giving Path of Exile a shot, playing Witch on in a seasonal league. Finding the Witch to be the funnest class I've tried so far. #pathofexile #poe #linuxgaming #gamingonlinux

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@zaufanatrzeciastrona/115582689334400958 This is why digital sovereignty matters. I have relatives who have no clue what accounts they own or use. I live in a small island nation where all the local shops are collapsing because all the inhabitants order from […]

Thanks Cloudflare

Trying to get Dawn of War II to work with multiplayer co-op on Linux using the GOG version is an insane process. The closest I can get is having Galaxy services connected in game, but no way to get the overlay to work and show me invites from friends (and no ability to invite friends for same […]

Upgraded to v4.5.1 🫡

It's funny to read a Signal FUD blog post criticizing Signal for relying on AWS, and a peep into the DNS of the blog shows reliance on Google Cloud

Upgraded to v4.5.0 🫡 #mastodon

Dick Cheney was one of the most evil and destructive individuals that has ever existed. Good riddance.

Marques Brownlee has put up a video about a US$20,000 robot. The company behind it claims it can do a whole range of household tasks 'through the power of AI', and will be delivered next year. They even demonstrated a prototype to a journalist. And the entire demonstration was being remotely […]

Being unable to login to Darktide with a generic "backend error" the last few days is one reason online requirements for most games are fucking dumb. Why can't I just play offline with some AI teammates if I can't login?

Trump supporters really are the new "woke". They fully embody the stereotype of hyper online adult cry baby constantly engaged in culture war virtue signaling and performative bs. Full circle.

Upgrading work laptop to Fedora 43. *fingers crossed* #fedora #linux

Popular artists should be banned from Bandcamp Daily

I need like 50 duplicate pairs of keys or something because I'm tired of going days without being able to find my keys lol

1. Autechre was amazing and overwhelming. 2. I forgot how terrible White Castle is

Age verification is so fucking swiss cheese brained

If you want to get better at Linux, learn FreeBSD

Legit the most annoying thing about FreeBSD is wifi management when considering multiple hotspots. Gave up trying to add this cafe I'm at and switched to my Fedora machine. I'll try again next time 😤

Relibre is now in the AUR if you feel like playing around with it locally instead of on the website https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/relibre

The biggest issue getting people to join Matrix instead of Discord is that Matrix really sucks lol

Been absolutely obsessed with cali gari lately. Mostly just re-listening to 4, 5 and 8 over and over. Great albums. #music #visualkei #jrock

Real-name policies have existed for over a decade, but these problems have become exponentially harmful in today's world. It's time to fight back against this unsafe and discriminatory privacy-invasive practice. https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/10/15/real-name-policies/

just uninstalled sudo 👀

god bless ansible

I've been helping tutor a friend who is taking a Linux college course, and as someone who is self-taught my mind is blown at how they teach it (at least in this one specific class). What is the point of throwing 100s of new commands at people who have never used a terminal before, with no […]

Got FreeBSD running on a ThinkPad L14 Gen 1, with working wifi and sound (got lucky with the wifi I guess). Now I just need to figure out why GDM isnt working 😤 #freebsd #gnome #thinkpad

My current Arch build turned 838 days old today 🎂

I've never seen an ad that I wanted to see

not sure how I feel about replacing gnu core utils, especially since the potential replacement doesnt use the GPL. anyone who has tried ubuntu 25.10 have any thoughts? #gnu #ubuntu #linux

usb sucks

Thank you bros for stopping your DDoS on the AUR so I can upgrade my packages finally

One Battle After Another is a a film

Added dpkg/rpm counts from distrobox to my Arch fastfetch. It was slow at first calling from distrobox directly, so I run a user-systemd timer every 60s to cache the counts to ~/.cache/fastfetch/, and fastfetch reads those files instead. Now it’s […] [Original post on mastodon.circlewithadot.net]

Watching this old @BrodieOnLinux video about a user who installs *all* their apps with Distrobox, rarely touching their home system. Mind is blown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIVv5NjyYl0 #linux #distrobox

Mentality lately has been to rely as much as possible on packages available in Arch. Use Flatpak or AUR only if upstream or officially approved. Use distrobox for first-party PPAs when all of the above doesn't work out. Mostly got really paranoid about the AUR and Flathub the other day and […]

I'm in love with distrobox https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Distrobox #distrobox #arch #archlinux #linux

All social network sucks. But while the other platforms suck in a "this mcdonald's burger is tasteless and bad for my health, and someone gets filthy rich out of me eating it" way, the #fediverse sucks in a "I went to the local hackerspace, and in spite of everyone there being tech savvy, it […]

I think one of my favorite things about watching @garyhtech is that he publishes videos were he fails in the end and just says "whelp at least I tried. what can you do" Such a vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbRlGxsBt2U

Waiting on the next album to be released (sometime in winter). I think I got the first track done tonight for the album after that.

i use red star os btw
