Mein Gott geht mir diese Realität gerade einfach nur noch gegen den Strich.

Überall Faschos, Hardware so teuer wie schon seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr, fast alle verlieren angesichts des KI Hypes langsam komplett auch den Rest an gesundem Menschenverstand und lassen sich fröhlich Deskillen, Enshittification im Endstadium, völlige Inkompetenz seitens der Regierenden.

Ich. Mag. Nicht. Mehr. 😡

Das ist doch alles einfach nur ganz riesig große Kackscheiße!

Simple age check for Linux:

Just have the shell ask the user to check the host IP on first boot.

If they type ifconfig they are old enough, if they type ip addr they deserve to be restricted from their computer 😇

The inevitable slow death of the power user in the age of tech capitalism.

Because power users are bad consumers.

Merry Xmas Eve!

I'm not Christian, I'm Mathematician, but I love Xmas, Ymas and Zmas. I'm giving a talk on the math of tuning systems and I thought I'd share it here as a kind of present to y'all.

I'll start with the basics today and do the more advanced part tomorrow. But I hope even the basics contain a few twists that not everyone knows.

You can read my slides here:

but they don't contain all the stuff I'm saying here... the stuff I'll say out loud in my talk.

My 92 year old aunt: You do the Leenux thing, right? You need to come over sometime and install it for me, because f#ck all I ain't gonna update to Windows 11.

Me: .... ?!#!?

I explain what the change-over entails and that I generally don't recommend it just because...

Aunt: No, f#ck that, f#ck capitalism, my laptop is still fine, so come over and set me up with that Leenux thing.
