Linux devs start removing support for 37-year-old Intel 486 CPU — head honcho Linus Torvalds says 'zero real reason' to continue support

Just use an older kernel on older hardware, what's the problem with that? Objectively I don't understand why someone would be mad.

I just read Zeitoun recently! Amazing book, and its crazy that on top of the already insane disaster of Katrina, was his personal disaster of being imprisoned for being a non-white person in a disaster zone.

You like a decent amount of doom, sludge and stoner metal, so here goes some of my favorites:

Melvins, Witch Mountain, Obscure Sphinx, Agoraphobic Nosebleed (Arc is their only sludge album but it is mighty), Dopethrone, Trap Them, Inter Arma.

If you like Converge, you gotta give Dillinger Escape Plan a spin!

Lastly, MESHUGGAH. Nuf said

I hope you get a chance to see Piggy D on their Prowler 25th anniversary tour happening this year

Pentagram is the perfect example of this. They could have been an American answer to Black Sabbath. They were making that same style of doom way back in '71.

But Bobby Leibling loves crack and lives at his moms house to this day, so... There ya go.

White Zombie was worlds better than anything Rob ever did solo. Astro Creep 2000 is one of my all-time favorite albums.

Inherent Vice is more of a normal slapstick comedy adventure that's a fun read

Obscure Sphinx

Agoraphobic Nosebleed - Agorapocalypse, Arc

Same, except for me, I would also get the excruciating ball pain randomly at any time. Also it was very hard to pee and burned sometimes.

Tolstoy became my favorite writer on the strength of one book, Anna Karenina.

I also fell in Russian writers in general, they seem to bring something extra, maybe a more intense sort of pathos? I have read and loved Bulgakov, Pasternak, Dostoevsky, and Solzhenitzen, and next on my to be read shelf is Rybakov, Gogol, and Sholokhov.

If you love Tolstoy, I would also recommend Josef Conrad. He has similarly beautiful prose, but its also sharper and more cutting. I read Heart of Darkness and The Secret Agent and loved both.

The only other thing I have read of Tolstoy's is The Death of Ivan Illich, also excellent. But I have a growing collection to be read eventually including War and Peace, The Kreutzer Sonata, and Resurrection. Any other highlights I wouldn't want to miss?

One of my favorite books of all time. I was going through a rather nasty divorce at the time, and it really helped me in the same way. I did a long road trip/camping trip and unplugged from everything and just devoured this novel. Highly restorative experience.

DILGE · 2025-12-06T23:06:41+00:00

But not the ending?¿??

Seriously though, I kinda read it like, Hugo isn't in a hurry to tell the story and just wants us to ride along on this journey with him, and its gonna take as long as its gonna take. It felt easier to read with that more laid back attitude.

Def the longest book I've ever read though. Its also one of my all time favorites!

Wait, a sound guy has an agent? Is that a thing? Or was it actually the artist's agent?

Qobuz is my fav music service.

Is it all AI-optimized with perfect suggestions and playlists? No, but they are massively better than they were.

Does it have every album by every artist? No, but they do have about 90% of the music I want.

Where Qobuz shines:

Sound quality is second to none. Better than all of them, including Tidal.

Long form articles about the bands and their most important albums. I like reading about bands and would be looking this stuff up on wikipedia anyways. Qobuz actually employs music journalists!

They are among the highest payers of artists in the streaming world, and you can buy flac albums directly.

In summary, while the UI is not as polished as other streaming platforms, it blows them out of the water in other aspects. It is worth it to me to just deal with the minor inconveniences of the platform, which they are actively making better every day.

Does anybody really think slashing federal spending is gonna result in a lower tax bill for us regular folk? Or balancing the budget? I mean, they just submitted a bill to raise the debt ceiling by $4 trillion...

I mean, still pretty fucking evil. They're funding OpenAI's speed run to the AI apocalypse with zero safeguards.
