    :ablobcatbongo: Fun fact: Despite its apparent over-abundance of options, KDE Plasma&#39;s System Settings provides NO WAY to: Enable an SSH serverEnable a grayscale &quot;bedtime mode&quot; like on AndroidChange the device&#39;s hostname Gnome Settings provides a way to do all of those things. :neocat_surprised: :neocat_confused: I thought KDE was supposed to be the more configurable one? Weird.

    🕺 And all the hits are saying the same thing There&#39;s only tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight And life is finite But that&#39;s all lies And &quot;reasonable&quot; people know better than you That cost in the long run but they don&#39;t know the short game So you will be badgered and taunted and told that you&#39;re missing a party that you&#39;ll never get over But that&#39;s all lies That&#39;s all lies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqq3BtGrpU8

    I have finally determined, once and for all, the ideal outlet orientation. :blobwizard: Some say &quot;just change the electrical code.&quot; I say: Of course physical changes to plugs/outlets, and/or mandatory grounding would fix some of these issues, but good luck getting that to happen! :blobcatscience: Yes, there are some exceptions, but over all I believe neutral on top is the safest option:

    :blobcatbusiness: AerynOS is the best, most user-friendly distro that you shouldn&#39;t install. https://aerynos.com/ Don&#39;t install it. It will probably work great. But it&#39;s not ready yet. Still in Alpha. Top secret. Go use Solus or something. I said don&#39;t install it. Shush. You&#39;ll be ok not knowing the wonders of a fully custom atomic package manager. That&#39;s right, atomic, like nukes. Must mean it&#39;s dangerous! What are you doing in my swamp? Back away slowly or it&#39;...

    :blobcatthink: I find it interesting that there isn&#39;t a translation layer to run MacOS on Linux.

    The more I look into different distros, the more I understand why Valve decided to take Arch (of all things) and make it immutable.

    :blobcatangery: I&#39;M BORED! :blobcattableflip: #lazyweb does anyone know of a Linux distro where: Nothing is ever out of date by more than a few weeks, but things are tested so my system doesn&#39;t break.I can use a normal KDE Plasma desktop immediately upon install.It&#39;s not Solus. I use Solus. It&#39;s great, but I&#39;M BORED. Thank you! :ablobcatnod:

    Why is openSUSE so unpopular? It seems like a genuinely good distro :blobcatthink:

    Wanna know a phrase I really don&#39;t like? :blobcatbusiness: I don&#39;t like when people say, &quot;This [new technology] will change the world.&quot; Why? Technology does not change the world, it just changes how people interact with it. :ablobcatattention:

    Gosh I&#39;ve been using KDE Plasma for a while and almost forgot just how far behind their UI design language is... :blobcatreading: Tried out Plasma Mobile, and comparing it directly to Android doesn&#39;t do it any favors, at least in my opinion. I mean it beats Windows in terms of consistency, but even Windows manages to look nicer in most situations.

    Apple&#39;s headphone adapter is the only headphone adapter OR jack that I&#39;ve found which is low noise enough to work with my IEMs. Is that weird? I can&#39;t tell. :blobcat_thisisfine:

    If you want to run a local model with adequate performance, the highest cost I’ve heard was $8,750 a month per user to replace ChatGPT Pro, on GPUs rented from Amazon. You might bodge something together for less. But that puts the unsubsidised price at a maximum of 40× to 45× OpenAI’s subsidised price. from https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/05/18/github-copilot-ai-token-charges-to-go-up-10x-100x/ Doing the math: $8,750/month * 12 months = $105,000 Yup, that&#39;s right. You could give every single...

    Never have I seen someone so eloquently explain the biggest problem with AI-assisted development. This is what the AI-coding pitch never confronts. Yes, generate code faster, sure. But the catching — the eye that says no — comes from somewhere AI cannot reach. https://cekrem.github.io/posts/the-tacit-dimension/
