  • My unpopular opinion: free ram is useless ram. Go on, OS. Put evertyhing into ram. I have 64GB of it. Fill it the fuck up. I want to be able to open things blazingly fast, that’s why its there. The trick is leaving enough so new things can fit without waiting for cleanup. And windows isn’t bad at scaling its usage. Afaik, wIndows installation on 8GB will use less than the same installation when 16GB is available.

    If you had unlimited ram, you’d be mad the OS was wasting time cleaning up behind itself.


  • But calling them an “AI stock” is insane considering “AI” is not their core business or even a profitable part of their business.

    I suspect it is because MSFT is overvalued at the moment and the overvalued part is AI hype. Now that the AI bubble is decreasing, we see it reflected in MSFT. They’re not pure AI stock, but some part of it is, so I think the speculation is apt. So, if you’re an AI bro and a bit of a pussy and not 100% behind it, you can back Microsoft since they have other income streams to fall onto. If you’re hardcore, you buy OpenAI and lose everything when it goes down.




  • Its really a shame. Every OS needs a simple text editor, possibly without formatting support of any kind. You’re not supposed to use it, it just makes it possible to edit basic configurations on the fly and things like that. Instead they support half of word pad and cram in copilot for some reason.
    Although I do admit, I haven’t seen the need to move away from kwrite for a long time. Basic text editor that does what it should and does it right!

    I eat junk food. I treat my body like a trash can. Doesn’t mean I treat the environment I live in the same. I share that environment with other people. While I may be trash inside, I don’t extend that where it intrudes upon other people. I care more about others than myself. My environment is spotless, I am not.
    I think you are wrong.

    I recently realized: fuck it, just have the build date as the version: 2026.02.28.14 with the last number being the hour. I can immediately tell when something is on latest or not. You can get a little cheeky with the short year ‘26’ but that’s it. No reason to have some arbitrary numbers represent some strange philosophy behind them.
