Anything to keep those IPO numbers high so they can cash out and leave the market with the inflated bag 🫠

Nick Funk 🇨🇦 @nickfunk.com · 24/09/2026

I agree with your takes here. I do my darndest not to tell others how to live their lives or enjoy things. Looking at current society though, it seems like telling others what and how to do things is incredibly common and often enforced heavily. 🫠

I don’t know why anyone listens to AI bros… Alright “Nate”… how about instead of dumping $3 trillion into your AI gambit… we could… I dunno… - Wipe out student debt - End homelessness - Feed every child in North America - Fund every national park in the US And have enough for healthcare? 🤷‍♀️

Doesn’t she have a long career in agriculture and sustainability activism/policy-design though? I mean, I agree there are likely conflicts of interest there… She seems to have some serious cred based on a quick Wikipedia googling?

Software support has been great as well. Did y’all know 1Pass has a custom version just for Wayland desktops? It provides an always on UI that is more streamlined than on Windows/macOS for finding and searching passwords I thought I’d need a new MacBook, instead I’m using a $300 old Lenovo

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

Nick Funk 🇨🇦 @nickfunk.com · 02/09/2026

Ah, this is because Claude was used to do the port… that makes a bit more sense I do feel like the responses are pretty extreme for what happened though I’m not a fan of AI code either… but I don’t think I would have responded to you in that way Glad this wasn’t because of hate for Linux tho!

020

Nick Funk 🇨🇦 @nickfunk.com · 02/09/2026

What is with all this hate? I was so excited to hear this! I’ve used this on Windows for over a decade and just started using Kubuntu as a daily driver. I’ve been missing Paint.NET ever since. Please don’t let the haters stop this from happening! 🙏

Nick Funk 🇨🇦 @nickfunk.com · 28/08/2026

That costing only $75 is mind boggling to me… I’ve thrown my own pottery before and am intimately aware of how complex this is to sculpt and fire without it breaking Just wow!

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. 🤍🇨🇦

I will clarify, she got an electrical engineering degree, worked at Motorola designing semiconductors, raised my bro and me, and took evening classes for an MBA. All at the same time. Woman was a force of nature.

Nick Funk 🇨🇦 @nickfunk.com · 01/06/2026

My mom got an MBA after an electrical engineering degree. I liked how she describes it: “I took classes in the evenings online, had a nice ceremony in California, it’s nice to have the piece of paper so I can get hired for management” Her peers were intimidated. Engineering is no joke.

This is cool. I find myself feeling disheartened that it’s Nvidia. I think I’m just too frustrated with how their obsession with AI has inflated PC prices worldwide. This feels more like damage control than actually caring about consumers.

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.
