Yet another article that skips over a decade of European tech history to start with the iPhone...

I really loath segmented enemies in #warframe, as hitting invulnerable parts just straight up nulls any AOE damage the hit may have done around it.

Really wish all those mad hatters trying to turn Linux into Windows would instead direct their efforts towards ReactOS.

When one consider that W95 UI worked even in grayscale, one feel that webdev has rotted the "UX" brain.

Why is it so hard for people to see that RMS is not just about freedom in the present, but about ensuring that said freedom can't be taken away at some future time.

Computex 2026: AI and products you can't afford because of AI...

atter en "mat i norge er dritt" tråd på Reddit, hvor INGEN tar en titt på ett kart som viser terreng og befolkningsdistribusjon.

Again and again the systemd defenders drag out sysv as the end all be all of init alternatives. Yet for some reason systemd adopted ini files as its config format of choice, a file format that originated on Windows(?!).

I wonder if i tired of scifi once it dawned on me that they usually ignored/handwaved some part of basic physics to make a story function.

Computing is no longer personal...

SoMe feels drowned in shallow "ironic" memes these days.

So the next #warframe update will be yet another hub with a syndicate grind attached? Also, Wukong 2.0 incoming.

In the end it is all about fab capacity...

"Indie" devs are getting lazy, to the point that they release a "reskin" of Zelda 2 as a new game.

Looks like Intel is pulling one of their classics. Every OEM is about to launch handhelds featuring Intel's Arc G3 that looks oddly similar, likely because Intel handed them a complete design that they just needed to run assembly on.

It is utterly horrid to see how Linux gets consumed by the special interests of large data centers.

If EU wants to be serious about ewaste they should demand that phones have driver details published at end of support alongside bootloader unlock, so that phones can be maintained and repurposed by third parties.

Funny how #warframe and #soulframe both land on the high 20s as the comfortable risk-reward level for enemies. Below that the do not have the payout, and above that they turn into health tanks that can one shot no matter what.

Ugh, even after a decade+ playing i still aim with the gun and not the sight in #warframe. Perhaps because the sight is so easily obscured with all the FX going on, but also because it sits to the right of the gun model rather than on top of it.

Good grief, the language surrounding LLMs sound more and more like the early days of web searching. While the hardware side reminds me of a rerun of the crypto rush. when that hype curve crests, it will be a long way down.
