  Banks have fees? :neocat_confused: :blobcatthink: I guess that's why everybody loves credit unions.

  :ablobcatbongo: Fun fact: Despite its apparent over-abundance of options, KDE Plasma's System Settings provides NO WAY to: Enable an SSH serverEnable a grayscale "bedtime mode" like on AndroidChange the device's hostname Gnome Settings provides a way to do all of those things. :neocat_surprised: :neocat_confused: I thought KDE was supposed to be the more configurable one? Weird.

  🕺 And all the hits are saying the same thing There's only tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight And life is finite But that's all lies And "reasonable" people know better than you That cost in the long run but they don't know the short game So you will be badgered and taunted and told that you're missing a party that you'll never get over But that's all lies That's all lies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqq3BtGrpU8

  I have finally determined, once and for all, the ideal outlet orientation. :blobwizard: Some say "just change the electrical code." I say: Of course physical changes to plugs/outlets, and/or mandatory grounding would fix some of these issues, but good luck getting that to happen! :blobcatscience: Yes, there are some exceptions, but over all I believe neutral on top is the safest option:

  :blobcatbusiness: AerynOS is the best, most user-friendly distro that you shouldn't install. https://aerynos.com/ Don't install it. It will probably work great. But it's not ready yet. Still in Alpha. Top secret. Go use Solus or something. I said don't install it. Shush. You'll be ok not knowing the wonders of a fully custom atomic package manager. That's right, atomic, like nukes.

  :blobcatthink: I find it interesting that there isn't a translation layer to run MacOS on Linux.

  The more I look into different distros, the more I understand why Valve decided to take Arch (of all things) and make it immutable.

  :blobcatangery: I'M BORED! :blobcattableflip: #lazyweb does anyone know of a Linux distro where: Nothing is ever out of date by more than a few weeks, but things are tested so my system doesn't break.I can use a normal KDE Plasma desktop immediately upon install.It's not Solus. I use Solus. It's great, but I'M BORED. Thank you! :ablobcatnod:

  Why is openSUSE so unpopular? It seems like a genuinely good distro :blobcatthink:

  Wanna know a phrase I really don't like? :blobcatbusiness: I don't like when people say, "This [new technology] will change the world." Why? Technology does not change the world, it just changes how people interact with it. :ablobcatattention:

  Gosh I've been using KDE Plasma for a while and almost forgot just how far behind their UI design language is... :blobcatreading: Tried out Plasma Mobile, and comparing it directly to Android doesn't do it any favors, at least in my opinion. I mean it beats Windows in terms of consistency, but even Windows manages to look nicer in most situations.

  Apple's headphone adapter is the only headphone adapter OR jack that I've found which is low noise enough to work with my IEMs. Is that weird? I can't tell. :blobcat_thisisfine:

  If you want to run a local model with adequate performance, the highest cost I’ve heard was $8,750 a month per user to replace ChatGPT Pro, on GPUs rented from Amazon. You might bodge something together for less. But that puts the unsubsidised price at a maximum of 40× to 45× OpenAI’s subsidised price. from https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/05/18/github-copilot-ai-token-charges-to-go-up-10x-100x/ Doing the math: $8,750/month * 12 months = $105,000 Yup, that's right. You could give every single...

  Never have I seen someone so eloquently explain the biggest problem with AI-assisted development. This is what the AI-coding pitch never confronts. Yes, generate code faster, sure. But the catching — the eye that says no — comes from somewhere AI cannot reach. https://cekrem.github.io/posts/the-tacit-dimension/

  :blobcatthink: I know people are mad about #Blender taking Anthropic's money (https://www.blender.org/press/anthropic-joins-the-blender-development-fund-as-corporate-patron/), but I think it's worth taking a moment to read Blender's Funding Policy which may help avoid some panic: The Blender project sets its own strategic roadmap and yearly planning. This is done by the community of contributors together with the development and product leadership. When large donations come in, or w...
