More Codeslop, Please

Well, they’ve finally done it. Through raw force of will and more money than god, the nerds have finally done something that will “make the world a better place.” By that, I mean they’ve pooped out something will finally change the world in big ways, for better and worse.

As an early AI critic, I say this now, because the spicy autocomplete app finally excreted some text I could use, in the form of computer code that actually compiles. The AI hype prophesy made only five short years ago, that “it’ll be better tomorrow,” has finally come true.

New #Blogpost!

I prefer to read (and to write) an unpolished, human website.

This post is unpolished, says nothing new, doesn't take into account every angle, and it's even kinda rushed, but it's mine, so anyway.

Unpolished human websites

I want to read your words, your mistakes, your opinions, what's on your mind. Not whatever gets summarised or filtered through a machine, please.

Linux Journey: More Tests and choosing a distro

I have been using Linux on my older ASUS laptop for roughly four days now, and I didn’t even need to open Windows for anything. I tested three distros in the meantime, but I mostly used Ubuntu 25.10 to perform tests on all the activities I normally do on Windows, to see if I could make them work. [...]

Linux Journey: First Steps on Ubuntu

The first thing I did was download the ISO image for Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS. Then I used balenaEtcher to create a bootable USB drive. I got an error when doing this on Windows 11, and after some searching, I found that the solution was to run balenaEtcher as Administrator for the image to work. Even then, I still got another error, I don’t remember exactly what it was. In the end, I switched to Rufus to create the bootable USB, and that worked. [...]
