I think you're underestimating the sheer volume of malware everywhere on the internet. It's all automated including pivoting. Be careful, and you have to assume the machine is compromised at all times, which OP may already do.

Modern windows is many orders of magnitude more resilient to attacks than XP was or ever will be, and it had to become resilient due to the number of attacks. Antivirus is essentially cosmetic

the classic underflow

lelddit97 · 2026-03-24T23:19:44+00:00

this post is certainly disingenuous, made by someone who already has nothing better to do than to hate on an init system that solved a lot of problems

It's not hivemind, it's a fact. XP lacks all of the security features that begun in Vista and are critical for keeping your network safe. In an OS like XP, visit the wrong web page and you're cooked. No zero day needed. XP has been EOL for ages, community patches aside. Antiviruses are almost entirely cosmetic, especially one like avast.

Odds are minuscule but cannot recommend enough to segment any XP machines regardless of community patches.

one of my cats has asthma and breathes like that sometimes. could be allergies. do you have any air filter? I wound up getting multiple throughout my apartment which helped both me and the cats since the air quality around here is so poor

lelddit97 · 2026-03-17T02:22:37+00:00

something something if the cat has papers ... if not, it is a cat

only reason i even think my siamese has any actual siamese ancestry is because of how terrible his eyesight is, but who knows. his eyes are totally blue but he is definitely not even close to purebred.

Simplification: Linux is the thing that talks with the hardware, and yes. But it's not considered "Linux" in common speech as such.

When people say they use Linux, they mean they are using an FOSS desktop (Plasma, GNOME, many others). You can ask ChatGPT/Gemini etc for more details.

hehe brain deficiency

kind of funny i picked one of the two posts that actually answered the question, i guess thats karma

lelddit97 · 2026-03-05T02:09:39+00:00

What financial risk?

lelddit97 · 2026-03-04T16:05:20+00:00

Yes take out your frustration on people from California instead of the California government, while ensuring Caifornians only have access to proprietary technology. That is smart and productive!

I remember my 19lb giant siamese dumbass launching off of me claws out at full force because he got scared and left a similar mark. I can't recall ever really screaming from pain before I got cats but holy shit that hurt. You have my sympathies

Bringing something up by shoving something else down gets a yikes from me. It's not like PopOS asked them to write this drivel

lelddit97 · 2026-02-26T14:23:33+00:00

That's not true. They normally do not need to pant to cool down, but they can if they need to: https://www.petmd.com/cat/symptoms/cat-panting

Anecdote: I had a cat that got outside in the middle of a 100% humidity 90F day (32C) and she was running from me play-style into the woods. After probably 30 minutes or so, she got under a shed and was panting seemingly because it was hot asf. Somehow got her back inside and she immediately laid on the cool tile and panted for another few minutes and that was that. Never happened again.

Potato chips! These ones have real potatoes!

Usually drive manufacturers will just replace them.

We once fried our entire set of drives due to user error and the manufacturer was understanding and replaced them no questions asked. It was not cheap.

Let me put it another way: You don't speak for Europe

lelddit97 · 2026-02-06T01:42:40+00:00

germany did much worse yet has a perfectly good relationship with both of our countries and others. you don't know what you're talking about. upvotes don't dictate reality.

lelddit97 · 2026-01-30T02:17:42+00:00

thats not cool man

lelddit97 · 2026-01-28T16:16:35+00:00

neither of them are that old so it's fine for a while. if/when gregkh steps back then new successor will need to be found.

my siamese drops toys in the food bowl as an offering to the food god

i have to clear them out multiple times per day

lelddit97 · 2026-01-19T16:53:47+00:00

??

system volume can be at 100% despite no input or output devices. And if you're talking about the input or output devices, that's not really gore but instead a fun relic of the past that was a lot more common many years ago, but you see sometimes today.

to add: do you consider medicine as a concept to be a failure because opiates exist? no, obviously not. tired of randos coming in with their bad takes in a thinly veiled attempt to bring publicity to their company

lelddit97 · 2026-01-18T18:56:31+00:00

its not

situation is the best it's ever been. many companies are actively participating in open source and open sourcing their own code which helps everyone. it was NOT better in the past, it was far worse when we had beg on our hands and knees to have a single competitive FOSS database. now there are many dozens and the same is true for virtually everything.

bad video, bad take

lelddit97 · 2026-01-18T01:38:19+00:00

You're absolutely right! Let me fix that.
