    “I can’t handle typing like this anymore” and “I like pickles” are two sentences I could make out of the blurry text

      Came here for this. Pickles are like a researcher’s??? Progeny? A researcher’s what? I must know.

      Also something about Harry Potter in the first lines.

      Edit. It’s grumpy! But I don’t know what!

        It repeats. The same “have you ever read Harry Potter” is three lines from the bottom too.

        It looks like it repeats every ~5.5 lines if you track the “OK, I can’t handle typing like this anymore.” which is easier to spot with the capital “OK”.

    Reminds me of this old article (surprised the site is still operating, also archive link)

    LOA was the group that first installed Linux on a Shetland pony in 2003, but growing competition from other hacker groups have shut them out in the past five years.

    ACKTUALLY they’re on the verge of dropping i486 support. Fucking bullshit if you ask me. Now they expect us to upgrade our computers more often than once every 40 years? Homebrewers ARE JUST NOW figuring out how to diy i486 motherboard chipsets.

    Next thing you know we’ll need a 3090ti just to boot into Grub.

    Anyone have Linux recommendations for x86 machines?

    EDIT: Desktop editions of Linux.
    EDIT 2: 32 bit specifically. I thought x86 and 32 but we’re the same thing, but I was wrong.

    Inaccurate. The Linux side should include a ton of wasted time trying to make 1 wifi card work or get stereo sound. Requirement = lots of pointless time.

      Had sound issues on windows too recently but sure lol. I guess linux and windows have more and more feature parity every day :p

        Same with me, a few years back, I completely gave up on trying to get my laptop’s audio drivers working since they periodically killed themselves for no apparent reason, and decided to just not use audio, even though the main thing I did was watch videos.

        I mean, for windows 11, I haven’t had many issues currently, only really the keyboard on my 4 year old dell malfunctioning, which then fixed itself after 3 hours.

          For me it was a windows 11 update that caused my usb dac to just straight up not work. After finding an article about which update was causing it i could roll that update back and it wasn’t hard to fix, but still, according to the linux haters this stuff never happens on windows lol

      Don’t be so disingenuous. The same shit happens on Windows. And there is no guarantee that your drivers will work between Windows versions.
