DistroWatch Weekly strikes again!
It is happening again. Why do I even bother? I can't stand idiots, and I run into them. OK, so I knew that DWW is censoring me (after the facts,…
Swimming upstream against the AI current—updated!
I had to give the seal of approval precisely to the only one of the 3 AI agents I currently use that cannot search the web! Why? Well, because searching…

Why is Linux attracting mentally retarded “experts” and users?

One more time about Red Hat

Cui îi e teamă de normalitate?
Preiau aici textul pe care l-am postat pe Facebook. Nu de alta, dar s-ar putea să fie eliminat. Nu de către fact-checking-ul care s-a cam desființat, ci de vreo interpretare…
DistroWatch Weekly as a shithole (plus two tips)
I am banned from commenting on DWW for years, and I don't remember exactly why. I don't remember to have had any interaction with Jesse Smith, but Ladislav Bodnar didn't…
Când credeam că le-am văzut pe toate…
Rolul lui YouTube a ajuns mai important decât al televiziunilor. Dacă oligofrenii sunt prostiți pe TikTok cu „producții” de 15 secunde, YouTube oferă, în afara producțiilor clasice aflate sub pragul…
Red Hat is fucking shitting on Linux

How is Germany not a failed state? How was it possible for the security services not to be able to make impossible such terror attacks like the one in Magdeburg?…
Este Cîcîrostanul o cîcîrocrație, sau o cîcîrotatură?
Am scris aceste rânduri în timp ce-l ascultam LIVE pe Pătraru. Cine a sinucis democrația? Taman că când credeam că nu se poate mai suprarealist, mai absurd, mai grotesc, mai…
elementary OS, an OS for suckers
I’ve been, and I still am, mentally busy with the elections in Romania and their unpleasant results so far (rounds: Nov. 24, Dec. 1, Dec. 8), so I canceled a…
WordPress 6.7: idiots keep being idiots!
I tried to ignore the stupid Automattic vs. WP Engine feud that poisoned the community of WP users. You can read a bit about this conflict here and here, among…
The suicide of the car industry
After the old news that Europe’s biggest carmaker, Volkswagen, might need to close factories, cut thousands of jobs, and diminish wages, I stumbled upon a newer one: Ford said it…

I tend to get easily revolted, which means I never truly learn from getting older. But I want to express my indignation and frustration regarding the outcome of the recent…
Nerușinarea farmaciștilor nu are limite (și nici cea a autorităților)
De obicei se înjură Big Pharma în sensul de companii producătoare de medicamente, mai ales când acestea sunt încă acoperite de brevete. Sau se mai miră oamenii cum în SUA…
