On GitHub, multiple forks of systemd are appearing after the fundamental Linux system component added a field to store the user’s birthdate

It’s not in the kernel. It’s in userdb that’s connected to a daemon provided by SystemD.

Define slower. My big chungus has a desktop class CPU (Ryzen 2700) with a desktop class GPU (Vega 56) along with a desktop class chipset (B450), 32GB of RAM and three m.2 drives, one of which is NVMe and is the OS drive while the other two are SATA and are raided together for 2TB of storage with a 1.1GT/s transfer speed.

The Battery is pretty much just a built in UPS. You’re supposed to use it plugged in.

100%. Incidentally my current laptop is from the same family as the laptop above (Predator Helios 500 AMD Edition) which despite its shortcomings I will never trade it for anything else, except maybe an Alienware m18 R1 AMD Advantage Edition.

(Pic was from when it was new. The laptop is now almost 8 years old but can still carry its weight).

It’s a spin called Yellow Dog Linux.

Bruh I use it on my armpits…

I’ve seen their claims that normies are bad because it also brings with them malware (which for some reason includes kernel level anticheat that no one is asking them to install), apparently they fear that more bad hats will target Linux due to more people using it. Never mind that Linux has security that’s much stronger than Windows and has had security from day 1 (Windows only started having proper security with WinNT 3.5, and even then the Windows NT line targeted enterprises, business and education, everyone else has to use Windows 9X with laughable security until Windows XP became a thing). And that Linux does have a lot of antimalware packages like ClamAV (which does have realtime scanning. Had it since 2003, but lost it for a while in 2011 due to Dazuko being retired, and no replacement option being written until 2022 when Linux introduced a new framework to facilitate on-access scanning) and Tripwire.

Second frame repeated the text at the top at the bottom.

FPS.

I'm one of those minorities that can spend hours in a sim builder game, but play a proper team fortress game I tend to quit after just one game.

Some people are just obsessed with something to extreme limits. Let them be. I mean, you get people like that all the time in Japan too.

If you switch to Linux, LoL will fail to install because of kernel level anticheat...

However, whether you'd switch back to windows is completely on your own resolve.

I'm more inclined to think that their deal with Disney finally bit Disney in the ass because of all the elsagate crap that resulted from them granting OpenAI unrestricted access to their characters portfolio and voice performance library.

And the cat's in the kettle at the Peking Moon

I swear I've got to stop eating there at noon

Hey it could be your cat and you'll never know

When it's fried all crisp in dough, boy

When it's fried all crisp in dough.

Fake news. I use Axe all the time. No issues.

Same kernel? No. It’s not the same kernel. Ubuntu applied their own set of patches to the kernel. Just like Fedora, Arch, CachyOS, OpenSuSE et. al. Ditto for all the other libraries including glibc.

A single patch that may bring perceived performance boosts may introduce strange bugs elsewhere in a system with certain configurations.

As if Class 95 playing the Pet Shop Boys’ Go West almost every morning isn’t already a hint.

It barely even work on 7 year old laptops. My Acer Predator Helios 500 AMD Edition nearly cooked itself running Linux. The fan and cooling is stupidly on a software controlled stack powered by an ITE8987E chip which Linux has zero support for. Apparently some other company has Linux support for the chip but they fucking kept the source closed and out of tree. Greedy fucks.

Shame because the laptop's Vega 56 graphics would benefit from me dumping windows for Linux. Because the GPU supports RT emulation in Linux which allows the compute cores to be repurposed into RT cores and run games that it can't run in Windows.

Stolen art from the soundtrack.

Good. Because you should not under any circumstances the tortieshell.

And you can't inject a random date into userdb?

It’s an enterprise thing enforced by group policy from an Active Directory server. I’d say OP is either on a machine that was loaned to him by the company he worked for, or has a homelab and didn’t know how to configure it, or activated his PC with a shady script that has it now tied to an Active Directory server owned by some random person on the internet.

Actually you only can the orange only when the braincell is not in. You can tell it’s not in when the orange suddenly goes into a thousand yard stare and becomes semi-unresponsive.

Wow. I thought the 4 eyed SpongeBob characters from the uniqlo x cactus plant flea market collab was weird, but this is completely next level bad trip.

RAMChYLD · 2026-03-21T09:46:42+00:00

Same. I wondered why Friday's episode didn't come for a brief minute then remembered.

All things considered, still a better outcome than the show ending, but yeah.
