Why do Linux live USBs ship a broken version of memtest86+ to this day?

this still doesn't explain why steam specifically started having a memory read issue

or why it STOPPED happening

but at least i can come down from the anger rush of this laptop being fucking faulty

after reseating all ram, reseating and REPASTING the CPU(!!!!) memtest STILL FAILS no matter what but now steam starts, i guess

fuck me whatever

K memtest locks up consistently in the very same place no matter what ram is in what slot whether it's one or both of them. Cool i have a dead laptop

You should commission @mavica_again for a pixel portrait! It did TWO of me (CGA-style and Macintosh System 7 style) and.. it JUST occurred to me that they are basically the only stylized images of my human self that I like seeing. maple.pet/commissions

i personally think blindly copying and sharing blocklists is still cringe because it's trivially easy for that sort of mindset to be hijacked for the harassment of vulnerable people. of course, that's not to say that it's a bad idea to look at what other servers people block and to consider blocking them if you agree with the reasoning; just only do it if they're actually providing good evidence for why you should block that person
remember: you don't have to block an entire server all the time. if a single person is annoying you can just mute them for yourself
