Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) too
It's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks away

Wow, this person was like "fuck graphics APIs I'm going to render a triangle on-screen using only memory mapped GPU registers"
Buh. I wish my city had all night electronic dance clubs. 😭😭😭
The Solar System's Hidden Planet: The Sun harbors another planet that has been hidden from scientific detection, orbiting between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, and hosting an advanced civilization that uses it as a hub for interstellar communication or testing experimental technologies.

Coining the term "Info-baiting". Like "rage-bait", but for triggering info-dumps. 😈
Who needs podcasts when you can just interview any random nerd on their particular interests?

On the fediverse, posts rarely go viral. But at times, they will go "fungal", like mycelium quietly working its way through the substrate, popping up again like mushrooms every few months to make another quick round before going dormant again.

Resistance can be as simple as using certain terms:
"online video" instead of "YouTube video".
"online search" instead of "Google Search" (or "do a search" instead of "google it".)
"music playlist" instead of "Spotify playlist".
Do not give these company any free advertising by using their names.
Do not make them the default term for something.

@octade Just taking basic facts and pretending they're a Big Lie by NASA. Like the ISS is fake and all astronauts are staged with bungie cords.
@macdonst And according to some: not real
Nothing makes me lose faith in humanity faster than social media comments. Especially anything related to space. It's like people try their hardest to say the stupidest shit possible. Probably also the algorithm trying to ragebait me by surfacing them above reasonable comments.
@pry I mostly enjoy when he writes about non-human societies. It's also fun how much is focused on scientists figuring out problems by breaking them down. Also the gender stuff in Diaspora. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(novel)
@pry siiick. Have you read anything by Greg Egan? Been enjoying his stuff a lot lately.
