#linux is worse than #windows in every regard

the main two problems in computing are off by one errors and dns. unless you use linux in which case you get a third problem no other operating system has invented yet which is denying you file permissions even if all chown and chmods are perfectly correct just to piss you off

steve jobs' open letter on flash is to computers what "reagan elected president" is as a temporal data point in socioeconomical graphs

sometime after steve jobs killed flash computing as a whole lost all its whimsy

when is the last time you've seen a funny screensaver

ludonarrative pissonance or whatever

it's a little funny to me how certain people will with the same breath demonize windows because "the NT kernel is evil" and also say that ARM and RISC-V will never be serious competitors to x86

begging for photoshop tutorials that are not videos

society if drawing programs allowed you to undo strokes, create a new layer and then redo those strokes

i search for a way to list all programs that currently have indicator applets registered. i get no relevant results. i conclude there is not one person in the world who knows exactly how desktop linux fully works

i press prtsc. flameshot comes up and lets me crop the area i want to screen shot. this is a good thing. there is now a flameshot indicator applet where there wasn't before. this is ok. the muted volume indicator applet has changed from gray to red and become off-center. this is perplexing

linux is a very good operating system for a headless server that turns into a very bad operating system once you plug a monitor into it and install a desktop environment

the only reason this laptop runs linux is that it's a centrino duo from 2008. linux is lightweight, but that's at the expense of not really being very good

using linux always makes me miss windows, every single time.

coming back to a linux laptop i haven't used in a year or so. i look up at the indicator applet tray in my MATE desktop. there is a prohibited symbol. i click on it. an empty box appears. i right click on it. i get the helpful about box that this is an indicator applet panel. i do not know what the prohibited sign means. i cannot get rid of it without getting rid of all the other applets. this is the reality of using a linux desktop

i apparently don't use many things that rely on us-east-1

bring back megas xlr
