hey psssst

anybody here want to block AI slop?

AiSList & AiBlock - Block AI Slop on YouTube

A community-maintained blocklist of AI slop channels, and the free Firefox and Chrome extension that strips them out of your YouTube feed.

While I can't say anything about the extension itself, I personally wouldn't trust any "Anti AI" extension with a clearly AI generated website, so let me add to the post by dropping this website filter list for uBlock as well:

GitHub - laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist: A huge blocklist of manually curated sites that contain AI generated imagery for uBlock O

why do people hate systemd other than "ive heard hating it is the cool and rebellious and smart thing to do" like whats actually wrong with it

[wayfire-official]

It's a monolithic system, the creator just straight up stated that he thinks the Unix philosophy is bad, he's a generally disliked on the internet.

But most importantly, you're kinda forced to use it. There are only few distros without systemd, and there's a surprising amount of packages that depend on it specifically.

People, especially ones interested in free software, really don't like it when they're forced to use something.

Personally i think it's a reasonably fine piece of software, but I still think the lack of init system freedom sucks, and is generally unhealthy for the Linux ecosystem

This is your sign to take that sad windows user and turn her into a Linux girlie. It's just better for her and she'll be so much happier.

genuinely we need to start executing the people who decided to make chromebooks the new thing

[femcelfootjob]

-cheap shitty laptop, locked into running only google services

-directed towards children/schools because of the control it allows teachers over what children can do

-leads to the loss of any computer education other than how to use google drive

[femcelfootjob]

it is truly unacceptable that chromebooks led to the dissolving of computer classes. when i was in elementary school I was taught how to browse files, verify if downloads or websites are trustworthy, install and modify programs, and even to use the windows 7 command line.

Not a single kid is getting this education now because google wanted to milk profits out of schools being underfunded and prioritizing internet censorship over practical education.

Something about thinkpads, their journey is a lot like ours

You take this rugged and worn business machine, designed to do its job

And you have it let go

It lets go of Windows, growing wings and becoming free

It lets go of its professionalism, having stickers on its back

It lets go of what other people care about...

And lands on some trans girl's lap, submissive as can be

And it becomes molded perfectly to that wonderful girl's tastes and style, and shows the girl love with every step

The laptop, you see, is trans too

[minix-official]

Update on my thinkpad. The bios chip isn't spi after all and I need to make some kind of custom program to dump the bios. I even had to desolder the eeprom to find this out.

Ok yes you should switch to linux for the lack of ads, spyware, bloatware, copilot, and general microslop bullshit but also!! You should switch to linux for the fun and the joyous and the whimsy because you get to do all forms of computer shenanigans and customize and make your computer as silly as you want :3
