The irony is, unlike the old days - actually AMD (ATI) is recommend for Linux now because the drivers are better.

This is in stark contrast to the fglrx days where that driver was an absolute abortion and NVIDIA was really the only usable one.

Not sure when you started your Linux journey but I avoided AMD for years based on that.

Now the tables have turned but I didn’t realize until after I purchased my NUC which has NVIDIA RTX graphics. So I guess I’m stuck on NVIDIA for the foreseeable future

unishittification, that’s a new one.

Hybrids: the worst of both worlds.

If you want to keep relying on gasoline then just buy an ICE car

It’s like rebrands.

Most rebrands occur because the average marketing person is pretty average and “rebrand” looks good on your CV.

A couple of million later, half way through, customers hate the new brand and the marketing people who started it have already left for greener pastures

Redesigning a perfectly good design that everyone is used to allows you to put “designed Netflix user interface” on your CV, and since management has to spend a ton of money on it, suddenly your team is worth something

MSSQL in Microsoft* cases

FTFY although arguably Microsoft and Stupid and synonyms

My house was built in the 1960’s, to New Zealand standards.

We build houses for the climate we wish we had, not the climate we actually have. All the wall cavities are empty, especially the external walls

Some things, like honorifics, dont translate well to English.

For example, the -chan, -sama, -kun etc suffixes are super annoying when the English voice actors try to use them.

They’re fine in the English subtitles against the Japanese audio though
