If the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie had been made in the US, Arthur Dent would've been played by Ben Stiller and Zaphod Beeblebrox would've been played by Owen Wilson. Trillian would still be played by Zooey Deschanel, though.

internet people love to make fun of the state of Linux audio, something I had basically no issues with during the last 17 years I'm using it as main OS, across a variety of trash hardware

The audio on this corporate Dell Windows 10 machine I'm cursed with at work, breaks every second day for no reason and no way to fix it other than rebooting.

Listen, I will always be nostalgic for Bejeweled 2, and Bejeweled 1 was good for what it was, but Bejeweled 3 is absolutely the best Bejeweled. It's got the classic and endless modes, lightning and diamond mine are absolutely fantastic timed modes, and the other modes are also quite fun. AND it doesn't have microtransactions. Oh, and it's got fantastic music. All for only $5 on Steam. Shame a better Bejeweled will likely never come out thanks to the fact PopCap is owned by EA nowadays. sigh

The IETF just pushed a draft notice asking to redefine Class A loopback from 127/8 to 127.0/16, presumably so IANA can distribute the rest of that /8 in the face of the IPv4 exhaustion crisis.

Oh dear LORD this is going to suck for everyone and everything.

The body we were born in is only a suggestion - and a poor one at that.

We reject our humanity and substitute *ourselves*.

This rule from the MISRA C specification is unreasonably funny to me. I love it.

So, I'm trying to find the OEMINFO and OEMLOGO for the Thinkpad X41 Tablet, and it's got me wondering, is there a repository of these files for various computers? If not, it'd be kinda cool to start one. I can't be the only one who thinks so, right?

(Incidentally, if you have the files I'm looking for, feel free to send them my way!)

And, yeah, sure, it's a 4th gen i7. There is no reason that should matter. A 4th gen i7 should still be a perfectly viable processor. If you think it isn't, maybe you shouldn't be working in technology.

I HAVE A CORE I7 AND 16 GIGS OF RAM! HOW THE FUCK IS YOUR SHITTY ASS WEBSITE USING 100% ON ALL 8 CORES AND WHY IS IT FUCKING EATING UP HALF MY FUCKING RAM?! THERE IS NO FUCKING EXCUSE FOR THIS SHIT!

Anywho, thanks for this bit of fun, Mozilla. I'll be deleting these now.

pol stuff, I guess 

If you're curious about those addons, they were both addons developed by the Washington Post in response to Trump stuff. RealDonaldContext was supposed to "add context to Trump tweets" and the other just adds a small amount to the price of things on Amazon and Walmart as a way of trying to demonstrate the effect of a proposed tariff. Neither are projects I'd even remotely stand by, and, well, judging by the last updated date, I haven't.

So, for years, Mozilla has emailed me at an email address I don't remember signing up for an account with because, according to them, I'm an addon developer. Today, I finally found out why: these two addons. They're Washington Post addons for Chrome that I can only assume I was trying to get working on Firefox after Web Extensions support was added. Loving that it remembered my old name even after having to make a new account with that email address.

pol, re: kink allusion (inflation) 

Incidentally, reading the article, it's kinda a load of tripe. Honestly, not buying it.

I can only assume Jon's about to explain why I should be plumbed in to an air tank. Honestly, no thanks.

Aah... Nothing like a nice mug of gamer girl juice in the morning! :blobcatcoffee:
