TIL that people are apparently now calling a 3060 a potato???

that thing is like at worst 50% slower than a 5060 (3060 8GB vs 5060, not including DLSS, we're talking about actual horsepower here)

if that's a potato, then what is my RX 580? a single french fry?

[autumnvleaves]

taking a break from tumblr for a bit

bai for now

Enough with the "Linux makes you trans". Time to accept that Linux makes you kitty :3

recently saw a video of like a bare minimum version of Windows 7, like everything that's not a hard requirement for the graphical session is gone

can it make it to the desktop without a certain file? then that file is outta there

and it made me wonder

would it be possible to go even further? like hear me out, the idea is as follows:

take any version of Windows NT (or perhaps the latest nightly build of ReactOS if you don't want to deal with any potential legal issues)

strip out ALL the graphical components

create a DOS-like text-mode shell for the NT or ReactOS kernel (perhaps borrowing infrastructure from Command Prompt to make it easier, since Command Prompt is the closest thing Windows NT natively has to the old DOS shell afaik)

(optional) port a BASIC interpreter to this weird hybrid OS, because if it can't run BASIC, then it isn't a real computer

i wonder how much would be possible, since unlike the 9x kernel, NT was only ever meant to be part of a full, graphical operating system

(very offended) Oh you "ran" the numbers? That's terrible.

Well, I **walked** all my numbers and called them **all** good girls. Do better.

wanting to download linux to escape terminal commands is just. really fucking funny

[q4os-tde-official]

to be fair, in this specific case, stardew modding on linux doesn't require the terminal, so oop is right on this, and that's probably what they are referring to

the year is 2035

the new windows 14 update removes the ability to manually open apps and you now have to convince copilot to open whatever it is you want to open. roughly 45% of the time it will open microsoft edge instead and send out emails to everybody in your contacts that contain any combination of your ip address, microsoft account username and password, real home address, genetic code sequence, foot size, dick size if applicable, and entire search history on all devices including "deleted" and "incognito" searches, and then tries to make you buy a subscription for copilot that gives you the incredible privilege to type in prompts using your keyboard instead of microsoft's predictive text system for a small payment of $599.99 a year. it is still the world's most popular operating system

I will not be surprised

I do think AI as a bubble will pop first

But I will not be surprised

[rubylang-official]

It'd be really cool if there were a place that hosted a Minecraft server and a fedi instance and a matrix server and a tilde and it was all for linuxposting I think
