Comment What Does It Mean (Score 4, Insightful) 96

What does it mean when four articles(blogs) post glowing reviews of an OS that you've never ever heard of, despite having been neck deep in Linux for decades?

It means that CachyOS is spamming the fuck out of the blogs in an attempt at guerrilla marketing.

ll I can say is, stop trying to make CashyOS happen. It's not going to happen.

P.S. That shit looks like Windows XP, the Fisher Price OS FFS.

Comment PRICE Motherfuckers! (Score 1) 131

Plain cheese "large" is $15-20 depending on on where you get it and when. And, I'm talking the major chains, not the absurdly overpriced "boutique" hipster horseshit. You want toppings? That will run the price up in a flash.

One pie is too small for four people so you're looking at two pies. Boom you're at $30-40. Or more! It's too fucking high and we haven't even touched on delivery and tipping.

I've just discovered that Papa John's is running a 3 topping large for $10, as an attempt to avoid bankruptcy. $10 for multiple toppings is a good price. And if they can apparently still make a profit on it then that tells us beyond any doubt that he $20+ pie is WAY too fucking expensive.

PRICE motherfuckers! You're too damn high!

P.S. Since the article mentioned McDonald's, they are way too fucking high as well.

Was able to reduce my food budget by 45% by consuming the food and snacks in the break room fridge over the last 12 months. Huge success.

employees must also outline actions they plan to take to continue growing at the company.

Continuing as before, but increasing my consumption and reducing my exertion, I expect to grow in the coming year.

Wish me luck.

8k isn't supported by most content

That's what was said when 4K hit the market. Today. there is 4K content, and even 4K streaming services. Provided you're willing to pay for it. But, cable and OTA broadcasts are still 1080p by and large.

So you're right. Most of today's 4K TVs are just pushing 1080p and 8K is an even bigger waste, except for a very niche and tiny market.

Comment Fact Free Clickbait (Score 1) 40

From the article:

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

The FT cited a person familiar with the campaign as saying it was unclear whether the attackers had accessed lawmakers' emails in the intrusions

So the reality of these articles is, they don't know if anyone had access to emails and they don't know who "anyone" is.

The headline is utter horseshit.

Comment I'll Never Smart TV Again (Score 4, Insightful) 52

I'll never use the smarts of a Smart TV again. I got pulled in at the beginning and was left high and dry when, they not only discontinued support, they deleted my perfectly functional apps and features.

Now, I require a display panel. It will not be directly connected to the internet. I use a PC or 3rd party box(Apple TV, Roku, Firestick) when I want those services and display them on my neutered TV display panel.

You want to spy on me and fuck up my experience, you've got my phone. But, my display panel(TV) is mine alone.

Comment Dell Deserves Pain (Score 5, Interesting) 48

The last year has seen Dell take an anti-partner position and an ant-consumer position.

First they cut off partners and VARs forcing them all to pay a distributor middleman a higher price with even less margins. They also made the quote process MUCH slower and more difficult, with more middlemen in the mix.

Then they rebranded and confused everyone, including consumers. They also increased prices quite significantly. Cuz tariffs. Cuz shortages. Cuz "Fuck You", that's why. Desktops cost 30-40% more than they did a year ago. Servers are costing as much as 400% as much as they did just a few short years earlier.

And for all this Dell got what they deserved. Lower sales volumes in what should have been a boom year mandated by Microsoft's Windows 11 forced upgrades. It should have been a record year for Dell. Instead buyers said, fuck that.

Dell deserves pain. Lots of pain.

Comment RTFM! (Score 1) 38

The biggest problem there is no effective way to decipher crazies from normal people. The karma system is a joke. Most of the crazies (overly aggressive, angry, know-it-all, echo chamber weirdos) are the high karmas. Almost the opposite of what karma is supposed to be used for. This might be ok, but this same sort of fanatacism carries over to the mods. You go to some relatively normal sounding subreddit, and read some posts. Cool, so you respond to some posts. Ask innocent questions. Uh oh - the echo chamber jumps you with tons of downvotes.

This sounds a lot like Slashdot to me.

I remember when comments asked innocent Linux questions on Slashdot and the immediate response was RTFM you filthy fucking n00b!

I do feel nostalgic for penis bird and Goat.se Rick Roll comments, though.
