Would a VM not work? Seems like the perfect use case for a VM.

I am not looking for software alternatives.

Then just use Windows or a Mac.

How so? The Arch wikis are considered some of the best documentation of any software. So the “Highs of Knowledge” is fitting.

Ok, next question: what’s an apu and a cute lil pepe on 4chan?

What’s a “froggo” on 4chan? Is it some kind of cred for hackers? But seriously, what’s a froggo?

The OS vendor gets to run classification on all of your pictures, documents, and software.

Not on Linux

A new age of hyper-optimisation would be so awesome.

No, just basic and regular optimization. There are plenty of talented devs with YouTube channels that have shown that most AAA games are horrendously optimized, and in some cases can see 2x or even 3x+ performance gains with proper optimization.

2 sticks of RAM should do it

Well, then Microsoft should stop shoving AI slop into all its products. Windows Agentic AI Slop is something no one asked for.

It’s a Federal Presidential Republic

Can an LLM play golf? Thought not

Well that sounds “fun”

I don’t know about that. Most of the world isn’t happy with the US right now. They may have been the case 10 or 15 years ago.

Japan has openly vowed to defend Taiwan if China invades.

This is an explanation on why it never gets fixed.

The technical debt would be the additional damage being done to the rest of the house each time it rains.

Even on an 8gb or 16gb system Windows uses over 4gb on a fresh boot. At 4gb it’s going to be swapping to fish non-stop. The disk will be thrashed and be dead in a year of use.

Pretty much. It seems to be the way a lot of these grifters go.

Even Tucker Carlson. I’m Canadian, so I knew nothing about Carlson when I first saw some clips about him (like 8 years ago now). And in those clips he said some innocuous and fairly reasonable things. Then YouTube’s algorithm did what it does best (you watch one new type of video and then that’s all it shows you for recommendations) and then I started to see the “real” Tucker Carlson and was grossed out.

Seems to be a common formula.

I watched a video of his a few years ago, and thought “interesting take”. Then I saw another video of his recently and thought “this guy’s nuts. Prob a flat earther too”

that primary system figures out how to align its own “clock” by connecting to other parts of the brain like the nerve paths of the eyes.

I’ve always wondered if blind people have offset rhythms for sleep.

pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads.

Let’s be very clear, they are not and never were “subsidised by ads”. Ads just became a new way to extract more money from customers.
