  • This has always confused me.

    I’ve never liked, disliked, rated, commented, or shared a Youtube video. Because I’m using Freetube, I technically don’t even subscribe anymore. Why are y’all so eager to maintain the algorithm? Does “disliking” a video feel like agency?

    If you really wanna punish Youtube creators, watch their video for less than 30 seconds. That won’t count as a view, but I bet the algorithm clocks it as a dislike.

  • Windows11 sucks so bad. I was so excited to learn that Explorer and Notepad were getting tabs & Paint was getting layers. Only to find out that these core features weren’t being updated for users, but in the process of adding slop to the OS. Explorer was the worst, my address bar became an ad. And everything was buggy and broken.

    And I know this isn’t just the Linux fanboy line because Microslop themselves had to apologize and walk-back some of the Copilot obnoxiousness.

  • The no1 reason to self-build is to save money. Obviously, this thing isn’t going to appeal to that crowd. For a pre-built, this price isn’t crazy. And the performance is fine for 1080p/1440p gaming.

    So if you’re the kind of person who knows the GPU nomenclature by heart, you probably won’t buy this, but I still expect the thing to sell-out by virtue of being Valve.

    I’m rooting for Valve’s success because that means wider Linux adoption.

  • One of the biggest Windows habits I’ve had to break is using file explorer to open documents and files. This was because memorizing file paths is way faster than using search. Search in Windows has never been good, because it’s always been weighted toward what Microslop wants you to find. And the index goes to shit if a user does something unexpected like saving, moving, or deleting files.

    Linux search just works. If I know the file name, there is no reason to open a file explorer at all. Just mash the power key and start typing.

  • The article has instructions to do exactly that.

    Users who regularly install AUR packages should take the following steps immediately:

    Run pacman -Qm to list all foreign (AUR) packages installed on your system and cross-reference against the published list of compromised packages

    Audit recent PKGBUILD history for any packages installed between June 10–12, 2026

    Rotate all credentials — browser passwords, SSH keys, API tokens, and cloud access keys — if any flagged package was installed

    Scan for suspicious processes masquerading as kernel threads using tools like rkhunter or chkrootkit

    Consider using AUR helpers with PKGBUILD review prompts enabled by default.
