The law says you’re responsible for the snow on sidewalks. Why?
There is a thing that bothers me in “civilized countries”: if someone breaks their neck while on a public sidewalk that you don't own, you're the guilty one if the…
Two Debian developers’ ignominious fight with AI
There are a lot of things generative AI can be blamed for, but some people seem to take this issue personally. It also seems to me that people are not…
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS should be renamed Idiocracy Linux
I said it before: the adoption of GNOME 3 as “the” desktop was a severe betrayal of Ubuntu’s user base. But now Canonical goes even further in insulting the intelligence…
A Big Beautiful Bullshit List
There are still Luddites on Earth, which is good news! Unfortunately, they have no power, and the overcomplexification of everything is going to continue. But yesterday I was stunned to…
On browser wars and stupid people
After having read this comment about Firefox on 9to5Linux (it starts with “Firefox has been making a history of bad decisions”), I was reminded that I can’t use only one…
Microsoft + snaps: music to my ears!
I'm not fiercely hating snaps—I’m only annoyed by them. A lot, but once they’re there, and Canonical doesn’t seem to give up (snaps won't share the fate of upstart, Mir,…
Iar îmi desființez contul eMag
Nu am scris pe blog când mi-am desființat prima oară contul eMag. Am scris doar despre cum vând ei falsuri ordinare nederanjați de nimeni. Dar povestea e că mi-am desființat…
The usual mental retard in Linux
Nothing special, just the same old. Some “error while loading shared libraries” crap. Out of curiosity, I wanted to try 4K Video Downloader Plus under Debian 13. The download page…
Flopzilla is retarded
Yesterday, all of a sudden, Firefox 147.0.2 (64-bit) became fucked up under Windows 11. It wouldn't open certain sites, which Edge would open on the same laptop. The same version…
Neamul românesc suge pula
Nu mai suport să citesc „presă” românească online. Sau „influențări”. Îmi vine să mă cațăr pe pereți când văd scris cu diacritice incorecte, recte „ş” turcesc cu sedilă și „ţ”…
Românii habar n-au cum vine gazul pe fir
Dacă prețul carburantului (benzină sau motorină) în România este printre cele mai mari din Europa (depășind prețurile din Austria și Suedia), vina aparține în exclusivitate politicilor premierului Bolojan, în speță…
Debian has its retards too: they plan to kill GTK2!
Remember how I said that I have Windows software from 1999-2000 (originally on CD-ROM) that still runs under Win7-Win10-Win11, and how the Linux mob couldn’t care less about backward compatibility?…
„Crasse Montana”: spulberarea mitului elvețian
După catastrofa de la „Colectiv” din 2015, credeam că doar noi, românii, putem fi atât de retardați, incompetenți, nepăsători și corupți. Își putea cineva imagina că un episod (că n-am…
As a New Year’s gift, Facebook decided I don’t exist
I have managed to post a comment to someone else's Facebook post, and I was trying to write a post, when Facebook suddenly decided that I am not a person:…
The most retarded AI failure is LanguageTool, not the chatbots
I am so sick of the inconsistency of LanguageTool that I asked ChatGPT about my experiences with LT and, to my surprise, it said that it's a known issue and…
SJVN and his dogs got soft-headed
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols is possibly the most famous business and technology journalist ever. I used to read him in BYTE and PC Magazine in the heyday of the PC. Lately,…
Cenzura, o extremă urgență în România (ca să parafrazez)
În loc ca cenzura să fie interzisă în UE, aceasta este de fapt încurajată. Vezi de pildă Directiva (UE) 2019/790 a Parlamentului European și a Consiliului din 17 aprilie 2019…
Bad news in Ubuntu land, Nemo was retarded, and more
This is one of my shorter posts on Linux, and it contains 4 topics. Bad news regarding Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and its flavors From the mailing list for technical-board --…
The EU and Romania compete in dissing China
This is not the first adversarial or hostile gesture of the European Commission against China, even if the decision of the Council of the EU doesn't mention China by name,…
Mark Rutte just made a huge mistake
From the December 11, 2025, Keynote speech by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and moderated discussion with Minister for Foreign Affairs of Germany Johann Wadephul in Berlin: And how is…
