Honestly I think we need a list of all the aggressive companies out there so that we know where to avoid shopping from. This #BossPets website https://bosspets.co.uk/ has nothing in common with #HugoBoss, there was zero need for them to beginning the harassment. It doesn't even sell competing products, so fuck you Hugo Boss, next time I'm shopping for clothes I'll remember this!

I just got the deprecation warning for #HomeAssistant running under #Arch https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2025/05/22/deprecating-core-and-supervised-installation-methods-and-32-bit-systems I don't know how they came up with that graph but this in practice means having to buy one dedicated server just for the sake of a single daemon, with all the extra maintenance, power consumption and extra wires. Not happy with this decision
Deprecating Core and Supervised installation methods, and 32-bit systems

This deprecation will help focus support efforts and streamline development.

As many of you may have already noticed when you try to update your Arch-based distros, you will receive an error mentioning that linux-firmware-nvidia "exists in the filesystem".

To fix this you should run `sudo pacman -Rdd linux-firmware` and then `sudo pacman -Syu linux-firmware`.

… as if I needed more reasons to hate Microsoft:

"Microsoft knowingly provides Israel with technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), that is deployed to facilitate grave human rights violations, war crimes, crimes against humanity (including apartheid), as well as genocide."

That reminds me, support for Windows 10 is ending soon, and there's a movement to replace it with Linux distros:

Microsoft

Microsoft is perhaps the most complicit tech company in Israel’s illegal apartheid regime and ongoing genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T NEED COMPLICATED #CSS CODE TO MAKE YOUR WEBSITE USE DEVICE SPECIFIC LIGHT OR DARK MODE AND IT'S JUST A FUCKING META TAG IN #HTML !?!?!  

I'm working on a pure HTML website for a game that I'm making, so it's nice to know that I can avoid any bloat like plague. Besides some embedded YouTube videos for trailers and progress updates.

How did I discover it? I looked at the source of this website:
https://justfuckingusehtml.com

This changes everything!

Just fucking use HTML

Stop reinventing the wheel. The web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer.

Just fucking use HTML

In which a gang of reprobates annoy a more responsible person by smiling

After 25 years, Issue 329 of the Linux Format magazine will be their very last. While this magazine predates my existence as a human, I have read some of their issues and they were one of the few magazines I genuinely enjoyed reading.

Farwell and thanks for your service.
