I have to post this song every few years. The cryptocurrency bubble got replaced by the 'AI' bubble which will be replaced by the next bubble and so on and so on.

That's the tech sector, surfing from bubble to bubble.

disappointing this is even less competitive but this is the way it goes. Stability of regs means the strongest teams get stronger.

If you need to design an entire frontend around apt to solve a problem nobody seems to have, I have to question development priorities.

KDE Neon continues to be very usable, even with some silly bugs (missing DBUS service files for logout and shutdown so the buttons don't work) but I have really struggled to forgive the whole pkcon nonsense. Linux desktop will take a giant step forward when they stop endlessly reinventing the same old shit.

@sullybiker That photographer really captured the warm glow you get, skipping those annoying T&Cs.

Interesting watching a windows client do a full update from a fresh install in a hypervisor. What's it doing? Why is it taking so fucking long? The answer is God knows, and not much, apparently. Lots of CPU thrash but little else. I assumed I/O was always a bottleneck but there's not much going on with the storage.

Teams is working well. Been in a meeting for an hour and audio is fine.
