Except for games that use kernel level anti-cheat.

I guess I’m no longer ever going to play a video game that runs on Windows. At some point game developers need to realize that Linux is the future of gaming if Windows keeps pulling this shit.

I recently got Permabanned from Reddit because I reshared the Alex Pretti video back when that was happening. They also banned every other account for every person in my household because of their fingerprinting service going overboard.

Fuck Reddit.

Not the Dell one, not worth your time or money - only has Intel N-series processor. But the ASUS one may have better internals.

And take even longer to launch than it already does. No thanks. A text editor should be a simple text editor. If I wanted anything more complex, I’d use LaTeX.

Personally, I restore the classic Paint, Notepad and Snipping Tool from Windows 10 on my Windows 11 machines because they launch instantly and don’t have AI slop baked into them. You can uninstall the “new” versions of these apps that come with Windows 11 or leave them and have both. I personally uninstall them.

I even set up these “classic” apps to be my defaults where the “new” versions were before. Everything works perfectly.

For those interested, I wrote a guide on how to do this manually yourself: https://pastebin.com/1WAs38AP

I crave Giardiniera all the damn time. At night I eat a bunch of it with a couple of beers, but I think about eating it all day long.

As a Jesse Pinkman fan, I use “bitch”.

What are some examples of some TV shows that you can no longer stream or buy?

Jessica fucking Rabbit

Waste of time. Now I’m 46, no kids, never married. Couldn’t be happier.

So they’re going to turn everybody into teenagers. Last I checked, teenagers can’t buy things like nitro right? Doesn’t that completely fuck up their own business model?

The only viable alternatives are Stoat or Steam Chat. Teamspeak is still dragging their feet when it comes to modern feature support.

Being home when my packages get delivered is also a nice bonus too! And where I live, I have to deal with a lot of snow. Normally this would be a pain in the ass, but when you work from home, you get to it when you feel like it.

Twitter/X. It is not a free speech platform. Give it up and move on to something else. Stop supporting these billionaires and stop giving them your time.

Thank you!

I don’t think you’ll need to uninstall. If I’m reading the article correctly, it looks like they plugged the hole in their update process by switching hosting providers to one that’s even more hardened and secure. So requests from the updater should go to the correct place now and not the state-sponsored hacker.

Then in about a month, the next version of notepad++ that is released will also properly validate/verify any downloaded update files from the server.

You could also just disable the checks for updates from within the application too. Or better yet, use something like winget to handle the updates instead of the built-in updater.

I’m just wondering then why Apple would even push this if a president was already set with Epic. What a bunch of greedy corporate bastards.
