Windows and Firefox colluded to wreck my download speed!
This is an issue I investigated and fixed on August 30. Since Gemini was somewhat confused and proposed some useless changes (no, this had nothing to do with any power…
Woes with Bluetooth and the audio jack in Windows
First, I want to stress that even if the following happened under Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (Version 21H2 Build 19044.7725), nothing is specific to Windows 10 and…
Trust AI-generated code. Not.
Ludditus: WordPress search in posts now shows posts sorted probably by relevance instead of showing the most recent first. Can this be changed? Gemini: Yes, this can definitely be changed.…
The fake Luis Burgado piano player and violinist
It’s an open secret that AI-generated fake artists are disrupting the music industry, and that the public is stupid enough to enjoy AI-generated music. Things seem, however, to be completely…
Linux is still booting up in 1980
I’m not in a good mood, and I tend to feel this way whenever operating systems or software are annoying me. To be frank, there is absolutely no operating system…
Did AI kill us yet?
I’m so sick of this new hysteria! Our natural stupidity would probably kill us before AI does. But hey, we still have to tackle this sorcerer’s apprentice situation, eh? I…
Iar e pe ulei Gemini
Întrebare: cum se chema în Franța, imediat după război, planul care hotărea ce tip de autovehicule să fabrice marii producători? Cretinul caută pe web, cugetă, după care și-o bagă singur…
Sunt sătul de atâta propagandă optimistă de război!
Dacă mai aud sau citesc de multe ori tâmpenia asta, mă isterizez! Iată, Armand Goșu tocmai a scos-o încă o dată din anus, într-un interviu acordat pentru Contributors lui Lucian…
Will Debian succumb to the idiocy of its people?
While I was fighting an unexpected cold (smart people catch colds in summer), I was disappointed by two stupidities regarding the Debian Project. One was some developers’ reaction to the…
Dear Alice, why is macOS designed so stupidly?
Ludditus: Dear Alice, why is macOS designed so stupidly? I downloaded a file from somewhere called 3 Standalone - Jennifer Hillier.zip. Someone on a Mac most definitely created it, because…
Firefox is the measure of how fucked-up software is today 😡
Firefox 154 on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 21H2 Build 19044.7663. With only 4 tabs, it takes 3 GB of RAM: Facebook, Outlook, Gemini, and my blog. Information retrieved via…
Siemens: the One Flop or the One Hope for Europe?
Not long ago, ZDF broadcast an 18-minute documentary titled Warum sich Siemens gerade für immer verändert (“Why Siemens is changing forever right now”). Only after I concocted this automated but…
Maybe I wasn’t wrong to hate PackageKit, after all
I hated PackageKit in 2008, then I got used to it as it became omnipresent, so I just ignored it. Most people have nothing against it (it’s for your security!)…
From Win11 IoT 24H2 to Win10 IoT 21H2 + KB5099539: Mais quelle horreur !
Downgrading from Win11 to Win10 is not something people do, unless they do that between IoT LTSC editions of Windows, and they use UpDownTool_LTSC_v3.iso. My history with the abominable Win11…
IONOS: One more time, I survived
I'm not 110% sure that I restored everything just as it was, but I had to delete my blog and recreate it on IONOS, the inept hosting solution I had…
Românii sunt handicapați și sugeraniști în masă
Mă văd nevoit să mă disociez de retardarea mentală a tuturor oamenilor „de bine” sau „de rău”, fie ei „pro-europeni” sau „sugeraniști”. Sunt prea proști, maică. Nu că ambasadorul Germaniei…
The CCPA and the GDPR will eventually kill Linux
I don't expect people to read carefully the details that accompany the release of Debian 13.6. It's just a bunch of updates, right? Even I couldn't be bothered, but as…
Procuratura RSR contra lui Raed Arafat
Raed Arafat are multe bube în cap. A venit în România ca eroul care a început să rezolve problema inexistenței echipamentelor de descarcerare la intervențiile în cazurile de accidente rutiere.…
Chat Control 1.0 is back on!
The Soviet Union of Europe is becoming more like Mother Russia because our Duma—sorry, I meant the European Parliament—is populated by retards who fell for the “it's to protect our…
Despre cazul „Dumbrava”
Inițial am colectat opinii și mărturii pe care le-am atașat la altă postare, sub forma unor comentarii. În cele din urmă, mi-am zis că e mai bine să le transform…
