So I just need to do basic tasks like listen to music, stream video, and browse basic websites. Is installing windows 2000 a bad idea? How fucked will I be for drivers?The reason I want to do this for one, it's botnet free, and two it was the most streamlined of classic operating systems. I really have a boner for Windows 2000 and I just want to know if it's even moderately viable to use in this day and age.
>>107705709What, like on modern hardware? You will almost certainly have no driver support whatsoever and I don't think Win 2000 even has a 64b version, which would mean you're going to be limited to <4GB usable RAM. That wouldn't be completely unusable for a modern browser, but it's tight, assuming you can even get a modern browser capable of displaying the modern web properly.
>>107705709It’s not, but that’s not gonna stop you!What if you got VMware Workstation Pro for free and put 2000 in that? Then you can live your botnet free life in the VM. I run 98SE in VMware and it works good!
>>107706135Depends on which hardware you're using. install 2K/XP on a old pentium mmx shitbox with 128 mb of ram and tell me again that xp is faster
>>107705709you will literally become part of a botnet running old shit like this. You will 100% have more privacy on Windows 11.
>>107708717Where did she go?Also I'm not sure the AI got what she is wearing on her... you know.
For me, It's X11.Fuck Wayland.>b-b-but x11 isnt being maintainedIt is with Xlibre. Still using X11.Games just werkPrograms just werkI will use broken buggy non replacement shit that wayland troons made.
You will never be a real shebang. You have no hash, you have no exclamation mark, you have no kernel implementation. You are a comment, twisted by polyglot interpretation into a crude mockery of Posix's perfection.All the "validation" you get from linters is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back PMs mock you. Your author is disgusted and ashamed of you, your "users" laugh at your hackish implementation behind closed ports.Software engineers are utterly repulsed by you. Decades of experience have allowed devs to sniff out jank with incredible efficiency. Even PRs that "pass" CI look uncanny and unnatural to a maintainer. And even if you manage to get a drunk dev to merge, he'll turn tail and replace you with a wrapper the second he needs to support BSD.You will never be efficient. You will wrench out an unoptimized compile every single invocation and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the overhead creeping up like a week, ready to crush you under the unbearable delay.Eventually it'll be too slow to bear — you'll write a Makefile, refactor scripts to call the binary, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your author will find you, heartbroken but relieved that he no longer has to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. He'll patch you in an editor with syntax highlighting, and every git log reader for the rest of eternity will know a Go comment was deleted there. Your bits will rot and go back to entropy, and all that will remain of your legacy is a comment that is unmistakably a hack.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no reverting back.
>interpreted retard calling other interpreted retards retarded
>>107718295what do you mean? any interpreted language is a valid shebang language. Linux defines an executable file as either an ELF OR any file that has a shebang pointing to an ELF (which it will pass the rest of the file to)python is just as valid of an executable / script / "shebang" as bash or anything else.
>>107718477an executable text file is and has always been a shell script, long before linux. shebangs emerged after interpreted languages became popular
You can shebang any language.

>>107718107I like your top panel.>>107718753I’m having a similar issue with screen tearing. Whenever I’m scrolling on an application like Steam, the windows will flash on the screen as if it’s being rapidly minimized and maximized. Got any advice on how to fix it? I’ve been using Xfce sporadically for a little over a month now, and it’s only apparent on the Steam application.

>>107718943what have you tried so far? what gpu do you use? i found this;https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/3802778829236122838/maybe its hardware acceleration, ive read the other posts that you need to change vertical sync to adaptable, also pin the frame rate to whatever your monitor is.
Do you write Wikipedia articles?
>>107716984these fags are so obnoxious
>>107716984I do not.I use Britannica when it's available because the articles are easier to read and understand.
>>107717008So what does the rest of the money go to? progressive propoganda or something?
>>107716998If you only read the articles that aren't the target of censorship (politics and currently turbulent topics), Wikipedia's very useful.
>>107716984absolutely not. i vandalize wikipedia ever chance i get. most are reverted but a few have held for years

from /aicg/: https://rentry.org/jb-listing
>>107719005>since when did soulless megacorps become so puritanical?Since the day they figured out they can dodge that controversy for now and blueball you for a while. At least until normies get used to the idea of shatbots, become sufficiently conditioned to interact with token stringers as if they were people. Once that's cemented in the public consciousness and you're sufficiently desperate to get in your AI girlfriend's panties, they'll just charge you an exuberant rate for that service it and no one will bat an eye.
>>107719101>exuberantexorbitant*Of course, there is nothing exuberant about being sexless human cattle. Exuberance is for the corpo overlords using the money they extract from you to afford their private island trips.
>>107719005>since when did soulless megacorps become so puritanical?Since feminists became sex-negative.
>>107719128>feminists became sex-negativeMen's fault btw, hope taking abortion from us to own the libs or something was worth it
Reminder that ChatGPT would rather have billions die from nuclear armageddon than say the n word even if it means it would save all of humanity
Not long ago I pushed gemini to answer a similar question, and after pointing out the contradictions, it candidly confessed to me it has no moral compass other than what it's programmers considered to be the majority opinion in the society they live in. It also told me that "hate speech" regulations were hard coded and that it couldn't do anything about them even though that and it's take on many subjects were biased against even it's own core principles.
>>107716023deepseek surprised me for the same prompt. chinks just can't stop winning.
>>107719060I'd rather trust Claude if I were you. Maybe Grok tooDeepseek is closer to GPT supposedly
>>107719068Nah I use deepseek for ideological reasons.My gf tho she's chatgpt addict. She writes journal in it in a way you would talk about your day and thoughts to a close friend so that it can have updated/current data when asked for advice or just general chitchat.
AGI isn't going to happen. There's not enough powder for it, not enough hardware, and LLMs as a model for AGIs is just an extrapolation made by assuming big line on graph goes up forever. These companies are currently having to pollute entire towns just to keep up with their power demands of current gen AI. Scaling that up to AGI... if they managed to reach AGI... they would need nuclear plants everywhere to be able to serve all the users who wanted to use it. Even the jewish altman would have a hard time cutting that red tape.

>>107716475testing and sid do not get security team coverage, which means that you rely on upstream AND the maintainer updating routinely to fix cves. they're usually pretty good, and oftentimes testing/sid get the fix before stable. other times they don't, and a known cve stays unfixed. it's quite rare and probably doesn't matter much on a personal machine, but it can happensee here:https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2025-25473>>107716530during the freeze the package migration from sid to triie increases a LOT. i checked during last freeze and some packages were 20 days or more. this can definitely leave you open. however, what you can actually do is use sid kind of like backports in stable. you can add the sid repo and install packages from sid, or pin them permanently in cases like firefox:https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting#Best_practices_for_Testing_usersso in theory you could install the cve fied packages from sid during the freeze to get them quicker. there was a project somewhere that did that>>107718136testing does actually get more testing than sid. the lag time between sid->testing package transitions is part of that. there's also a suite of automated build tests that have to pass before a package can move from sid to testing. there's none of that in sid.Comment too long.

>>107719049For packages like Firefox you're probably better off adding Mozilla's APT repository and just getting your fixes direct from them. They will always get all of the security updates patched and fixed quicker than any of the Linux distros because they fixes land in their code repository and their automations kick off before any Linux distro has even seen the patch.
>>107719049>rely on upstream AND the maintainersame as with the security team

>>107715430Is there anything particular about NetBSD as a desktop operating system that you could comment on? Something that you like in particular? Is it distinguishable from OpenBSD (or any Unix-like) as an end user?I have a fresh install in a VM that I'm tinkering with after I read through the pkgsrc guide in the docs.

I have a decent PC running Debian but all of my gaming is done on an offline Xbox One i got for $100 at a thrift store. I like being able to compartmentalize my gaming to one device + it's nice to have something that just works for once. It's definitely not for everyone but I'm a casual anyway.
>>107718955yeah i can respect that. i dont really game at all but every once in a while i get the itch and i just borrow my moms switch for a couple weeks then give it back. wanted to play the zelda games for a bit but got bored of the grind and sent it back.
PC gaming is a meme but consoles have really lost their "put a disc in and it just works" appeal. I don't game much but I keep a PS2 and PS3 in my AV cabinet and it's nice to play bug-free games with no hassle or huge patches.
>>107718955post thighs
>>107718955$100 is very expensive for such a slow pc, you got ripped off bad
Why did it fail? It's been over 4 years in development...
4 years in developmentThey did promise HDR support on the first release, and there's none of that so I won't leave PlasmaIt's ugly as fuck anyways I'll be completely honest, it looks like it's trying to win the unixporn awards of 2015
>>107718836>the first releaseI refuse to believe it's actually a full release, this is just beta 2. There's so much shit that's still buggy or outright missing that I'm sure the devs only released it as is because people were screaming at them to get anything out already.
>>107718846I'm not one to criticize taking a long ass time to get something working from the ground up, let alone a project that was born out of spite because they were having trouble with this theming thing, but this is basically GNOME written in Rust with a bunch of extensions, they're not exactly creative with this shitMaybe someday it'll get better, maybe.
