Windows 13 rumored to "suck your dick clean off", per sources close to Microsoft.

it’s never getting more updates, it’s deprecated (and could be removed at any point) on macOS, some newer opengl drivers are simply built on top of Vulkan and are pretty dumb (and perform poorly because of it)

just bring back opengl. it got the job done. frankly bring back the fixed function pipeline as well while you’re at it.

due to my horrible doomscrolling addiction, i have made a script to slowly fade in a horse over my entire browser over the course of a minute that you cannot remove unless you refresh the page making it so i cant use twitter for more than 2 minutes

i totally agree with this in principal, but it would make me sad if they removed the marketplace.

I’m sitting at a table on the Fox 32 debate stage holding my hand high in the air. My opponents, Daniel Biss and Laura Fine, are talking to each other. The chyron reads, β€œSUPPORT FOR PALESTINE”

don't kill me, but i kind of like the terrible 60hz+ motion smoothing on tvs.

i see the artifacts, they do look ugly, but i just enjoy watching the tv more with it on.

today is the first time there was a big KDE update since I switched to Linux and it's so nice to see a changelist that isn't "we shoved AI into something that didn't need it" πŸŽ‰

the 45,000 gun deaths we suffer each year are just the price we pay to live in a society made safe from government tyranny by an armed populace

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Apple Music's algorithmic playlists are honestly really really good. I've been listening to their "Focus" playlist while working and it is really varied and nice.

If only the web ui wasn't hot garbage (at least on Linux in Firefox it is). If anyone has an alternative client recommendation hmu)

If you want to try Linux for whatever reason I have to recommend EndeavourOS + KDE Plasma. You can select it on the install screen. It’s not scary to use and feels familiar and intuitive.
