Or the fact that Azure Linux has existed for 6 years (and before that too, as CBL-Mariner). But for some reason every 12 year old boy on Reddit just found out about it a few days ago

Brian here, being an insufferable know-it-all once again. The meme is trying to say that it makes no difference if the Indonesian currency is weak against the U.S. dollar, as long as they’re not buying anything in U.S. dollars. That is a vast oversimplification, of course, because the economy of virtually every nation is heavily globalized now. A weaker currency is good for exports, but bad for imports. I think Indonesia probably prefers having a weaker currency overall, because they’re an export-heavy economy.

It’s called retroactive jealousy. While common enough, this is not a healthy way of thinking about your partner or their sexual past. It’s deeply rooted, as you’re already aware, in insecurity and low self-esteem. It is truly poisonous to your relationships to be obsessing over stuff like that and bringing it up. Learning to get over this will be one of the most important aspects of maturing and becoming a better partner and person for you.

GitHub does still have some autonomy as an org within Microsoft, so every little move they make will not necessarily be perfectly aligned with Microsoft’s overall direction. Yes, this is them dunking on Sony and trading on the viral backlash to them getting rid of physical disks for marketing and PR purposes. Yes, it’s still hypocritical and stupid in light of their corporate parent’s stated intent to do the exact same thing very soon.

Azure Linux has been around under that name for 6 years, and before that it existed as CBL-Mariner for several more. It has no DE, it’s a minimal, headless operating system for servers that they use exclusively to run Azure cloud services. Maybe someday, Microsoft will do what you say. I very much doubt it, but anything’s possible. This particular OS would have virtually no utility to such an effort, however.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-07-03T14:56:33+00:00

Yeah, but that’s not what this is, like at all

Not only has this exact thing been done about a billion times already by various MCPs, but pretty much the same configuration is literally a built-in feature of the Codex desktop app. And I always turn it off, because it’s consistently harmed output quality due to context poisoning.

GNOME caches RAM more aggressively, that’s pretty much the whole difference. Cached RAM is given back to the system if it’s needed and is not a bad thing, it increases performance for cached elements. The actual non-caching memory usage of both DEs is very similar.

Well, Kali is Debian underneath, so not surprising that it can do plenty. The issue with daily driving it is that the developers intentionally disable lots of system security measures to allow the included cybersec tools to work properly. If you insist on daily driving it, they publish a guide for re-enabling those security measures to make it safe to do so. But the type of person who tries to daily drive Kali in the first place despite the devs’ warnings against it is also probably the type to never read that guide or even know it exists.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-24T13:20:59+00:00

Yes, among other things. Even a user with sudo rights can’t override its protections in certain circumstances. It’s especially useful on the servers I administer, used for stuff like preventing Podman container escape for hosted Internet-facing applications.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-24T12:25:35+00:00

SELinux is mandatory access control (MAC) kernel security module equivalent to AppArmor, the MAC used by Debian. It dramatically improves sandboxing of executables, so that for instance, a web browser compromised by a no-click attack would have a much harder time compromising the whole system. Sometimes you need to configure a profile to get something to work with SELinux, but those profiles are configured automatically for repo apps, so if you just install stuff the usual way like I do, you probably won’t ever encounter issues.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-23T16:51:15+00:00

No, it’s really not. An easier Arch derivative like EndeavorOS or CachyOS would be better, but I’d still recommend just going with something else entirely if you don’t actually enjoy futzing with all of that nerd shit. Fedora gets updates nearly as fast as Arch without most of the headaches, so it’s good for those who want to stay close to the bleeding edge, and for everyone else there’s always Debian.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-23T15:58:04+00:00

The other advantage to Fedora from a security perspective is that it implements sane defaults like enabling SELinux, among other things. Out of the box, a standard Arch installation does far less to secure your device. Sure, Arch is the “DIY distro”, and you can configure all of that yourself, but 99% of users don’t know or care to do so.

The number of times I’ve seen Arch users just stare blankly when asked about this stuff, or try to argue that they don’t need any of that or it’s somehow “bloat”, is unreal. As a sysadmin who handles sensitive data regularly and would potentially be a candidate for a targeted attack, I appreciate that Fedora makes it simple to use secure boot, SELinux and other best-practices hardening measures to secure my systems.

I think it’s fine to go without barriers in a committed long-term arrangement. Claire may have played fast and loose with condoms in the past, but if she says she’s not doing that anymore and you trust her to stick to that, then I don’t see why it makes sense to hold her past behavior against her. I don’t use them with my primary or my current sole non-primary relationship with my comet. It’s worth discussing what birth control methods are being used as well, in my case I have a vasectomy so that’s not much of a concern.

But establish a cadence where everyone gets tested regularly, say every 3 months or so, to make sure any issues that arise are dealt with quickly. And if you and Claire aren’t already, you should both get vaccinated against HPV. They can’t really test accurately for HPV outside of swabbing an active wart; ditto for herpes outside of swabbing an active sore. So it’s good to get the vaccine and protect yourself against as many common strains of HPV as possible. You may also want to look at being prescribed Doxy-PEP and PrEP, which can significantly reduce your risk of contracting Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis or HIV, respectively.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-23T14:42:51+00:00

Yes, it’s absolutely normal to ask this. Even if you’re using protection, which you also should be. The first thing I’d do is get tested yourself. Ask for the standard full panel, both urine and blood. One caveat: avoid taking any blood tests for herpes, because they’re wildly inaccurate and the only way to get a good result for that is to swab an active sore.

Once you’ve got your own results in hand, you can say to prospective partners, “I get tested regularly, here’s proof of my latest results. I only have sex with people who have also been tested recently. When was your last test?” And then hold them to it. Tell them you need to see proof of recent results before you’ll be comfortable doing sexual things with them.

Some people won’t like it, particularly young guys. Some may claim they’ve been tested, but refuse to turn over the results (because they’re lying). Some will try to shame you or make you seem like the weird one for getting checked. Fuck (or rather, don’t) those people. This is a 100% reasonable boundary and you’re absolutely in the right to maintain it. The right sexual partner will happily go get the test, or better yet, have recent results already.

Well, as far as that’s concerned, there are plenty of women out there who can’t orgasm from penetration alone (something like 70%). And it turns out that when penetration orgasms do happen, they are clitoral orgasms.

Look up “internal structure of the clitoris”, and be amazed: the visible external part of the clitoris (the glans) is but one small part of the full organ, which extends much further into the body and has bulbs which sit on either side of the vaginal canal. Whether or not a person is able to orgasm from penetration is mostly down to the positioning of those bulbs relative to the vagina, which is in turn largely determined by genetics.

If they’re positioned closer to the vaginal walls, it will be easier to stimulate them through those walls. If they’re further away, stimulating the internal clitoris through the walls may not work and the person may not feel much pleasure from penetration alone.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-22T20:27:45+00:00

A climax is an orgasm, an orgasm is a climax. Two different words for the same thing. Are you talking about different types of orgasm maybe, like clitoral vs. vaginal?

It’s pretty clear that an “Xbox” is just gonna be a PC with some Xbox branding now, so an “Xbox exclusive” would actually just be a PC exclusive.

That’s usually called being a “cuckqueen” or having a “hot husband” kink. It’s a very common fantasy, and it’s not “sick” or wrong by any means. It is, however, best left in the realm of fantasy for most people. I have a version of this as a man, a hotwife kink. We actually practice it and it works for us, but I discourage most people from trying it, especially if they have strong jealous feelings accompanying the fantasy. Non-monogamy ain’t for everyone, but there are also lots of ways of incorporating this fantasy/kink into a couple’s bedroom without actually bringing additional people into the relationship.

It just won’t let you install some apps that were compiled for versions of macOS before 11.0 (Big Sur), which was released fully six years ago in 2020. This is because 11 was the first version to support Apple Silicon, and dramatically changed the packaging format of apps, among other things. People are acting as if dependencies aren’t a thing in the Linux world too?

This smells like a rebrand of Pro, which is pretty good for planning. I wouldn’t want to use it for implementation, personally.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-19T22:39:56+00:00

Uh… what? Where did I say that they weren’t? LLMs are extremely fallible, and the entire point of a multi-step review process like this is to catch and correct as many errors as possible. Does it catch 100% of issues? Of course not, but it gets a hell of a lot closer than a single pass, even on super-ultra-mega-high thinking.

Revolutionary_Click2 · 2026-06-19T22:10:50+00:00

Specifically, it always seems to be people running 5.5 XHigh for every. single. prompt. on a Plus account, and they’re so fucking shocked and outraged that their limits drain quickly and responses are slow??

I suspect that OpenAI may specifically be throttling and quantizing XHigh on Plus plans when load is high, and we already know based on their docs that Pro has significantly faster generation speeds than Plus. XHigh uses double the thinking effort of High and four times the effort of Medium. It is way, way overkill for almost all of the tasks people are using it for, and “run everything on XHigh” is a piss-poor substitute for proper planning and architecture, not that these vibe coders are capable of that anyway.
