Huh! I had no idea. Thank you!

Could you elaborate on that? I’m not up to date on FOSS / open source licensing.

As somebody who once worked at an ISP: they absolutely do that, and it isn’t illegal. In fact, ISP’s host many of Ookla’s speedtest servers. The less infrastructure your test needs to go through, the better the results will be—there’s nothing faster than a network that’s communicating with itself.

I really wish they’d pick a better name. Ableism aside, it’s just a terrible name.

If I can’t type /pizza in EverQuest to get a pizza to wizard itself to my doorstep, I don’t even know what technology is trying to do anymore.

Sort of correct. Red Star OS has been in wide use for nearly 20 years now, but it is definitely not FOSS like actual Linux distributions.

Kathmandu is where we’re going to, baybeeeeeee!!

That was a very cool read. I’m not particularly technical—I can build a PC and install an OS, and that’s about it—and I understood most of it. I had no idea that cursors were such heavy pieces of crap!

Oh my gosh, that’s messed up. And you can’t even turn it off??!?

What? Where? I haven’t seen an ad in Firefox since Carter was president.

I don’t know anything about Linux, but I believe they merged with the Yutani Corporation in 2099.

Does incognito mode do anything that temporary containers don’t? In a world of 2FA key password managers, having to log in every session is super easy—barely an inconvenience.

I’m kind of a dumb guy about computers, but destroying everything every time seemed like a smart call.

I do. Windows 11 is just a bunch of bloatware and ads stuffed in a trenchcoat. I want to be able to use all those rams and GBs I downloaded, without half them being tied up in tracking.

I don’t understand anything that isn’t presented in pictures. Also I cannot read.

How the fresh fuck is this even a thing still? Even back in the 90’s I heard dudes making gags about “Uncle Ben Hot Rods”. You know. RICE IT UP!

GET IT? They’re shitty race cars made by a shitty race who only makes cheap stuff!
