What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days?
  • All the good stuff from Ubuntu has mostly been upstreamed into Debian. And Debian's rekease cycle is much faster these days than it was back then. So, just run Debian.

  • What good thing just happened in your life?
  • Lovely animals, but they smell terribly 😆

  • ‘Your body, my choice’: what misogynistic Trump supporters feel about sexual power
  • ...even less Americans could be arsed to vote for a sane person. You can't blame the backwards electoral vote system this time.

  • Four Passengers Die in Burning Tesla After Electronic Doors Seemingly Won't Open
  • Anyone who owns a car should install a life hammer. Doesn't matter if it's a Tesla or an old clunker.

  • I am food and the internet is a gastrointestinal tract.
  • ...and then you come out at the ass end of the internet (a.k.a. 4chan)

  • Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November 10th
  • I've just finished the story mode of Green Hell. Now working on the Spirits of Amazonia mode. I hope I can build a more permanent base there instead of having to move every few hours.

  • Ubisoft Facing Lawsuit Over Shutting Down Always-Online Game ["Two people in California have filed a lawsuit against Ubisoft after the company turned off servers for 2014's The Crew"]
  • As long as it hurts Ubisoft enough that next time they make an offline patch before pulling the plug on a game.

  • Palworld Developer Reveals The PokĂ©mon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating
  • Depends on the exact wording of the patent, and the jurisdiction (U.S. or Japan)

  • Palworld Developer Reveals The PokĂ©mon Patents Nintendo Claims It's Violating
  • No, the sneaky thing is that they are older patents that were amended/updated after Palworld was released. But the initial patents are older than Palworld.

    In a sane world, the case should be decided by the original text of the patents, not the updated one.

    What am I saying, in a sane world these patents should not exist.

  • TIL what a fatberg is
  • They come from your sink, not your toilet

  • Sysadmin shock as Windows Server 2025 installs itself
  • Have you seen the state of the US? A "clown world capitalist dictatorship" is a pretty apt description

  • Sysadmin shock as Windows Server 2025 installs itself
  • Since MS forced the upgrade, you should get 2025 for free. That would probably be really easy to argue in court

  • Steam to remove support for legacy (international) family sharing
  • Nah, the new family sharing is way better. With the new vetsion, I can play games from my wife's library even if she is playing a different steam game at the same time.

  • How do I quit smoking?
  • Yes, I recommend the book as well. Don't ask me why though. I tried quitting smoking many times using many different methods but always failed. On a whim I got the Alan Carr book and read it. I read it in bursts over a month or two. There was nothing interesting in there. Nothing I didn't already know. I finished it and quit smoking. The next day I relapsed and smoked again. I reread the last few chapters and quit again, this time using nicotine patches. I quit the patches within a day because they made me feel sick. I never smoked again. It's been 7-ish years and I haven't had any inclination to smoke again. It went from one of the hardest things to one of the easiest things to do. I don't care if people smoke around me, it doesn't bother me anymore. I still don't know why the book works, but it did for me.

  • What is the first graphics card you got?
  • I got that exact one too! It was way better than the Voodoo 3DFX cards.

  • Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages
  • They will be gone with time, but not because anything that Valve does. Microsoft is locking down the kernel after the CrowdStrike debacle. In a few years it will be impossible to run any custom kernel code.
