Happy to report some positive results for daily driving Linux desktop I have confirmed that a used Lenovo from 2020 gets 2 more hours of coding done on Kubuntu than on Win 11 Gaming is also interesting. When running Baldur’s Gate 1, it runs for 4-5 hours in Linux but only gets 2 hours in Windows

Canada's best game in World Cup history with a hat trick ⚽️ by Jonathan David. & Canada's worst game in World Cup history with a brutal broken leg for Ismaël Koné. ❤️‍🩹 The team played in a state of shock for 50 brutal mins & won 6-0 after seeing their teammate's leg break. 🤍🇨🇦

Nathan-Dylan Saliba holds up Kone's jersey after substituting him after he broke his leg - and immediately scoring a goal in his honor

ChatGPT was never Google’s biggest threat; it was always its own hubris. With Search now being sacrificed on the altar of AI dominance, the time has come for users to get serious about moving off Google services. It’s not only destroying its products; it’s trying to further degrade the web itself.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

Turns out poor people spent a lot of money on tea and sugar *because they were poor* and that was their inadequate replacement for unaffordable things like cooking fuel, food with actual nutritional content, and enough calories to slave away over a loom for 12 hours.

The West can recognize it was a mistake for Ukraine to give up its nuclear weapons because it left the door open to the invasion from Russia, but will not accept that countries like Iran and North Korea desire them to stop Western meddling and attacks.

This is it, right here, right now. The whole game. All his voter suppression, gerrymandering, and other election cheating has led to this. If Trump takes over elections, it’s game over for democracy in the United States. If the people aren’t willing to shut down the country over this, it’s over.
