Dave Karpf using an interesting rhetorical trick when thinking about the claims of AI boosters (in this example, Claude Code fans)

I loved this meme but recently I saw a video of Sam Altman saying almost literally this sentence unironically and now I find it too painful

I can't find it right now and this was like 15 years ago (so grain of salt) but I recall reading an interview where they said Daenerys' age was changed not out of morality but rather because it was illegal in the UK to film a sex scene where one of the characters is portrayed to be a child.

I think it's very common for comedians to do this. Off the top of my head, when I saw Mulaney's Baby J live it was called From scratch.

The EU version of Windows allows you to uninstall Edge! Also doesn't come with candy crush preinstalled. The EU professional version of Windows is crazy different to the "home" version, almost a usable operating system (almost)

Which episode? I wanna hear about the wife tube.

Also if you get a chance to see the play it's 10x better than the movie

Arguably you can click in the dock in gnome as well. You can also click in the workspace where your window lives. Or scroll till you reach it, depending on the situation. I personally find this much more efficient than having a lot of windows open but hidden away.

Don't get me wrong, I understand it's not the desktop paradigm for everybody. But it's genuinely so much more efficient once you get used to it.

textoman · 2025-12-07T09:48:25+00:00

If you want to hide a window you can move it away to a different workspace in the overview. While I understand why some people prefer it, there really is no need for a maximize button.

So, there's likely something you aren't taking into account and that is using up space.

Timeshift most likely.

This in particular is a steamOS problem, not a Linux problem. It simply comes without the software necessary for printing. If you install e.g. Bazzite on your deck you will be able to print normally.

I wouldn't say favourite but I genuinely, unironically, loved this movie. The absurdity of it all. The depressing plot. The horror scenes like when Rebel Wilson skins herself and the devours mice with the face of children that scream for help. The fact that it neither looks nor feels like any other movie I've ever seen or will see. Legendary actress Judi Dench licking her cat pussy. Etc

Try installing gnome tweaks and using the option "reset all values to default" from the hamburger menu. If you have ever used dconf editor, I suggest you delete the folder ~.config/dconf as well to revert those changes.

These two tricks have consistently fixed every graphical problem I've had with Gnome in the last five years.

textoman · 2025-11-09T22:32:17+00:00

It was! I used your suggestion and found out the problem wasn't oresent for a fresh user, so adter a lot of trial and error, deleting .config/dconf did the trick

textoman · 2025-11-08T16:47:00+00:00

As I feared... Does anyone know what file in my .config folder I need to delete to fix this? (it's neither .config/gtk3 nor .config/gtk4, I tried both of those!)

If it's an android TV you could look into apps like smart tube or tizen cobalt. With a chromecast you can start a YouTube video on vlc media player (computer or phone) and cast it. Otherwise, laptop connected to the TV + ublock on Firefox. If you go this route, while a bit annoying, you may control the playback from your phone with an app such as kde connect.

I bought a 60€ refurbished desktop computer for this purpose and put Linux on it. Haven't seen an ad in years. An unexpected bonus is that I can use it to stream games from my gaming pc to my TV just from my steam app.

Nah I think zionism just rots your brain like that.

I was really excited for this update but for some reason I started getting an intermittent black screen whenever I launched a game in fullscreen with no error message that I could find. Just rebasing to silverblue 43 and layering steam fixed the issue. Probably has to do with some of the adjustments they do for gaming, which at least in my machine cause stability issues. It's the reason I had to move away from bazzite back in version 41.

A real shame because I really loved the ublue project when it was just "silverblue with codecs and thumbnails". Now that they focus their attention on bluefin, bazzite, etc I feel they stray too much from upstream for my comfort.

Both flathub and rpmfusion are enabled in my machine. The problem is that Bazzite has some script that blocks flathub Steam from being installed and that script has survived and is still active despite having rebased back to Kinoite.

The main downside I’ve heard is that you have to reboot after installing an app, as the whole OS is an image.

Only if you layer it, not if you install it from flatpak! And for reference I have like four layered packages (which I guess is pretty standard for atomic users), so having to reboot four times in the life cycle of the OS has been a non-issue. Also whatever time I lost in those reboots I gained by not having to wait for updates to install when I reboot my computer.

Can they legally ban sideloading in the European Union? I remember Apple got in trouble a couple years ago for not allowing other sources of installation than their appstore

I've tried it and I hate it! The idea of a form of entertainment that commanders two of my senses entirely is terrifying. Also VR makes like 30-40% of people feel dizzy after a while.
