Vegemite is more like a human rights violation.
I read somewhere once that Sam Altman sounds like a name for a fictional villain made up by Hideo Kojima for Metal Gear Solid, and it will never not make sense.

Isn't that their core business?

Re:Secret of Orange Cats Revealed After 60-Year Search on Monday October 12, 2026 @08:57AM (#50055787)
Recently I went through the list of all of the subs that I follow and 80% of them were all cat related.

Cookie vs biscuit, vacation vs holiday, gasoline vs petrol, etc, etc.

I can't help but keep thinking that client-side scripting was a mistake. Sure, the web would be a lot more primitive without it, but I'm not convinced that wouldn't be for the best.

The constant overlapping dialogue as you kept on clicking wasn't an exaggeration.
Re:Beauty in DVD Menus on Thursday October 08, 2026 @10:29AM (#50006266)
Despite the fact that a lot of dvd menus were confusing to navigate and / or outright ugly, it's a shame that it became another lost art form. The bad ones were often spectacularly bad, though lol

Not gonna lie, I would like a "Black Edition" of macOS. There is a decent OS buried under tons of rubble.
Read your comment again, please.

So, a tiling WM?

We really don't need a new desktop OS every year.
Re:macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess on Tuesday September 29, 2026 @12:03PM (#49895628)
Sequoia was the Snow Leopard of the 2020s. Going from that high to the lows of tahoe or golden gate is a real and jarring downgrade.

My idiot brain's first thought was "goddamn Canonical and their feature creep nonsense. what the hell have they done now?" before reading the article.
Re:The Copilot+ PC brand is dead on Saturday September 26, 2026 @10:25AM (#49856890)
For something to be considered dead, it must have been alive in the first place, which was never the case with the Copilot PC brand.
Re:People Hooked on Vapes Try a New Way to Quit: Cigarettes on Wednesday September 23, 2026 @02:09AM (#49812263)
Went cold turkey during the first covid lockdown. It was a combination of not being able to go out to buy cigarettes and also the fear of dying since I was a heavy chainsmoker.

Honestly, I didn't miss it once.

Re:Grim Fandango Puzzle Document (1996) [pdf] on Monday September 21, 2026 @01:55PM (#49790808)
Year 2 of GF might be my favourite memory of any video game, ever.
Never met anyone who used siri out in public, to be honest.
What downgrade? A typical Gnome desktop is far more coherent than Windows or even macOS in some regards these days.
I still don't see a good reason to upgrade from Sequoia.
The best way that my desktop can show me love is by being a glorified application launcher and nothing more. Also, the less meta/data that it sends back to its vendor the more love I feel that I am receiving.
I wish that a consortium of Android phone makers would/could "LibreOffice" Android.

You'd have to pay me as well to use any Microsoft product, which is exactly what's been happening at my place of work haha
Re:macOS 27 Golden Gate: The Ars Technica Review on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @06:15PM (#49733782)
10.5 Leopard because 10.4 Tiger was my first interaction with Mac OS X and it blew me away. I couldn't wait to see what was next and how they could improve upon perfection.
Re:macOS 27 Golden Gate: The Ars Technica Review on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @06:14PM (#49733767)
If there is no way to remove this 17 GB model, then the OS is simply not for me anymore. I'll stick with Sequoia for another year and use it until it stops receiving security updates and then I'm back to being a full-time Linux user.
Oh, man. The "Active" Desktop. The only thing that it kept active was my CD drive when I was forced to reinstall Windows every time I tried to make it work on my PC and it broke everything.

Exactly how I feel about this game. While its redemption arc is one for the history books, every time I come back to it, I feel nothing.
