He was also entered into the Guiness Book of Records for "strangest diet."

He ate the award plaque they gave him.

If it wasn't obvious that the Debian box is a parody, here's what the ~~Japanese~~ Chinese text along the top reads on each box:

Please read the instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of a physician. It is strictly prohibited to be used in food and feed processing.

Please read the installation instructions carefully and use it under the guidance of the administrator. It is strictly prohibited to use for server installation.

so yes, the title is correct-- this is not a coincidence, the Debian box was made explicitly for this joke

edit: thanks for the correction folks, honestly thought it looked more like Japanese than Chinese at first glance and I am obviously not an expert in either. Appreciate the call-out, very deserved.

“This is an isolated, ‘one-of-a-kind occurrence’ that has never before occurred with any of Google Cloud’s clients globally,”

I propose we take these ideas and build our own drunk driving game that gets gradually more impossible to play and with more risks the longer the run continues. Like Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy meets that DPKR Crazy Taxi clone.

WINE IS NOT AN EMULATOR

It is a translation layer. All it's doing is intercepting syscalls embedded in the executable process by presenting what looks like an interface for the kernel it is trying to call, but is actually a translation layer to the true host kernel, mapping the Windows syscalls to their near-equivalent for the Linux kernel. This differs from emulation as the calls are being translated at a higher level whereas emulators translate the low level machine code sent to the processor.

So Proton and Wine essentially just pretend to be the core Windows processes and services a Windows environment provides to applications. It's a Windows interface to a Linux kernel on the backend. And virtually every syscall on Linux will always be faster than on Windows/NT. So you get faster syscall responses with a neglible and wholly insubstantial added overhead that I would reckon is hard to quantify because it is in fact so damn small that the only way I can think of to observe it is to attach a debugger, which slows down the application process notably so that human's can peer into the execution stack.

TL;DR: no, Windows applications have theoretically been faster on Linux than they ever were on Windows since Wine's inception.

Wtf does this have to do with her gender? Are you claiming she does not top the charts in celebrity carbon emissions, but is being used as the scapegoat instead of a man?

The Conservatives aren't attacking her because of her gender, it's because of ~~their~~ her influence. Misogyny has nothing to do with it, they'd do the exact same with any celebrity of any identity/orientation because they're influence conflicts with their agenda, not because of their gender.

This smells a lot like ground-laying for radical feminist arguments, I can't find any other reason you would be here making a mountain out of an imaginary anthill. Moreover, I can't understand why anyone upvoting this would care to see a non-humorous PSA in a "hello fellow teens" vaporware frame on a surrealist/(whatever it's called) shitposting community unless it is meant to be satire.

Some Microsoft exec: "Hey, remember when TV remotes started getting a dedicated Netflix button?"

I swear to fucking Stallman, this is at least the fourth time this past week I've seen a unique post about this same fucking shit. One dude writes an article going "xrandr let's you rotate the screen 22 degrees" and the holiday tech news cycle just loses its mind.

This is called Automatic Content Recognition and it can be disabled in the settings, highly recommend doing that. It should have asked you whether you wanted it enabled when you set up the TV, as it's legally required to be opt-in in the US opposed to opt-out. Since you're using a Roku Smart TV, it specifically is taking two full resolution "video snapshots" every second.

Sure but this is actually Automatic Content Recognition, specifically Roku's video ACR that takes snapshots twice a second.

It's not like one of the six biggest power janitors of Reddit has been caught multiple times wrongfully deleting posts, using bot armies to manipulate votes and accepting money from marketing agencies for "consultancy" in social media guerilla marketing.

It's almost like the company doesn't give a fuck what their unpaid help does to the userbase or content because they still gets investments regardless.

Fuck spez, fuck GallowBoob, fuck awkwardtheturtle and fuck Sam Altman.
