  • I thought I’d step out of my Debian/Arch comfort zone by installing OpenSUSE on an Intel MacBook - Tumbleweed has trouble working with the Broadcom wireless adapter, and Leap straight up kernel panics because it can’t find root on boot.

    It’s been actually educational and almost nostalgic in that it makes me feel like a total Linux noob again as I try to navigate zypper and YaST.

    Once I get it working this meme will feel extremely relatable.


  • I know this is said in hindsight, but the way the first paragraph is written sets off alarm bells of weird reporting, and I imagine probably was what triggered you to look into it further.

    ASUS plans to produce RAM amid shortage problems, hoping to ease the rising costs of laptops and gaming PCs.

    While I get that Asus naturally would want to be competitive, why would they (from an economic standpoint) care about ‘easing the rising costs’ of their products. They would have actual motives like trying to be independent of these major memory manufacturers.

    Reports say the company is preparing to manufacture DDR5 memory by 2026.

    2026 is in less than 5 days. If this instead said “by the end of 2026” or longer I’d have a better time believing that claim.






  • As an Aussie, absolutely heard about this and was frankly disgusted not only by the comment, but the timing given he had said it some 2-3 hours after it happened.

    At that stage, information is still coming to light and proper investigative processes have to be undertaken. I don’t believe the shooter’s names were even released in full at that point in time.


    I maintain that the best thing Australians and the world at large should be doing is coming together and collectively rejecting everything those shooters stood for. Being divided is exactly what they wanted, and unfortunately we Aussies are seeing that in politicians and fellow Australians.

    Some incredibly heroic acts of bravery happened that day transcending racial and religious barriers, and we should be remembering and commemorating those people and their actions.

    I reject any comments from politicians using this tragedy for brownie points. Due process will continue, the scumbag will surely have the book thrown at him, and we can make an informed decision on what’s the next best move to help prevent further tragedies like this from happening.
