@timsoret I tried FilePilot and it isn't ready yet.

Yes! If you're Windows, you MUST: > swap File Explorer with Filepilot. filepilot.tech > swap Task Manager with TaskSlinger. taskslinger.net Both are superior, lightweight, ultra fast counterparts. I'm on Windows bc gamedev, but I avoid Microsoft apps.

Even Spotify's AI playlist generator is "safe".

@cmuratori Still faster than anything in Linux.

Just want to make sure I'm reading this right: Microsoft rewrote the run dialog with performance "top-of-mind", and the best they could manage to do when putting up a single text box was 10fps?

I guess cubs are okay on Twitter/X/Grok now. σ ω σ

@baraag_net Technically I did follow rule 2, but you idiots banned me anyway.

I realize most people generally click "Accept" without ever actually reading the ToS. But when people apply for an account on baraag, the Accept button is right below rules # 7 & 8 that redundantly states you *must* provide link examples of your art. It is quite frustrating that more than 75% of applications submitted do not include any link examples.

@F0XnR0LL People who wear shoes without socks should be put in jail. People who don't use commas should be put in jail.

Run Patty run!

@sol_prog @pikuma Meanwhile, I hate all these people (Jon, Casey, Theo, Ginger Bill, Ryan Fleury, Prime, etc.). But I use what I can from them, unnoticed, and move beyond them.

@pikuma This is what I was alluding to: x.com/Jonathan_Blow/… pretty based 🙂

Oh, wow. I just read the most phenomenal bitch slap in form of a twitter reply. 😬 Beautiful.

@AdnanChaumette @pikuma I defeated him. Casey doesn't understand version control.

@pikuma Casey remains undefeated

@dev_maims No. Going back to Windows 10 after using KDE Plasma was a relief. All software is terrible (except mine) and there's nothing we can do about it, but Windows is still better than Linux for now.

@cmuratori Windows is still better than Linux in 2026 (if you stay on Windows 10).

The top critical replies to Coder Girl here were "4 hours fixing audio drivers nobody asked about", "Installing Linux is a mess", and "sure if you don't like to game". I have been a Linux user since SlackWare in the mid 90s. I would have agreed with all three of those up until around a year ago. Here is the reality I have been experiencing now: 1) My livingroom gaming machine is now permanently Bazzite. I installed the default Bazzite distribution from a USB key with no modifications. It can run Steam in deck mode, so I can use it with my (Microsoft!) XBox controller, and I play almost exclusively Windows games on it, which run (shockingly) flawlessly in Proton. I have yet to encounter a single compatibility problem, although I am sure I would if I played competitive shooters since their anticheat kernel drivers are designed to prevent using it anywhere but on unaltered Windows distributions. Anticheat is really the only thing holding Linux back from being an immediate substitute for a Windows gaming machine. 2) My audio workstation is now also Bazzite, since I figured it was easier than maintaining two distros. Default install just worked, no drivers necessary, despite the equivalent Windows install needing both Yamaha and Behringer drivers to be installed manually to function properly. It "just worked" out of the box for audio as compared to the Windows equivalent, and has been rock solid - no drop outs, no crashes. I did not have to touch a single audio configuration option. I just installed Reaper and PianoTeq, and everything worked. 3) The only machine I've found so far that has trouble working out-of-the-box with Linux is a Microsoft Surface tablet. But I still got it to work, it just required me to manually install a kernel patch because support for things like the Surface touchscreen aren't built into Linux distros currently. Once I did install the patch manually, it works perfectly, and even has a touchscreen keyboard just like Windows does. So even Microsoft's own hardware can run Linux just fine, and it would even be turnkey if your Linux distro of choice decided to mainline the Surface driver repo. The bottom line is that people who think Linux is worse than Windows either haven't used it lately, or are not being honest about how bad Windows has become. Windows is circling the drain. Every update, it gets worse. The number of problems I regularly have to solve on our remaining Windows machines dwarf anything I have to do for Linux system maintenance. Windows had a good run, but Microsoft has obviously focused its resources on SaaS and cloud computing. They don't care about Windows anymore, and neither should you. The next decade is about transitioning to Linux everywhere.

@flying4thewind @cmuratori Linux has 10 different free programs for anything you might want to do (and none of them actually work).

@cmuratori I wish lol too bad there are no programs for linux

2026 is finally the Year of the Linux Desktop - and as we've been saying many times over the past decade, it is being brought to you by Microsoft.

@cmuratori Nope, it's The Year Of Windows 10 LTSC IoT Enterprise. I'm hoping Linux will be good by 2032.

@rizaanjappie @ludwigABAP I think a bunch of mathematician AI researchers who don't know how to code thought it was cool and it caught on among that crowd.

@ludwigABAP I won't understand the rise of Python.

More slop, faster. Accelerate slop. Build more things that don’t matter. Ship slop faster. As a matter of fact, don’t even write the slop. Let it be generated. Generate everything. More web. More react. More python. More web software.

And 567 on Youtube. :0

I have 4567 watchers.

@awesomekling Hey, don't hate on arena allocators just because Ryan Fleury and Ginger Bill are insufferable.

Data structures that turn you into an insufferable evangelist when you first learn them: - Bloom filters - Arena allocators Any others?

(This isn't a response to anyone. I just felt like saying something based today.)

It's an awkward and unfortunate gap in the English language, but this is the way it's always been since before everyone alive today was born. "They" isn't a gender or a part of someone's identity, and it never will be.

"They"/"them"/"their" are obviously only used for a singular person in special cases: informal situations when the person's gender is not known (like "hey, someone left their coat here").
