"Little known Windows 11 installation tips"

My tip? Don't install Windows 11.

The very first thing that came to mind when I saw this Bluetti battery charging cable is it was a forbidden battery to HDMI jumper cable. Something along the lines of a @NanoRaptor creation 😂😂😂

@thomasfuchs This is regarding Peter Sagal's post on BlueSky, eh?

There are times where I do scream into the void just to scream into the void; but, at least on Mastodon and the Fediverse, it's been more about converations and community.

Twitter/X, BlueSky and Threads definitely haven't had that feeling. Sure, I had some connections to the panelists at Wait Wait on Twitter/X, but it was still me speaking into the void for everything else.

“…With respect to content that is already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the ’90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been freeware, if you like. That’s been the understanding."

What kind of fscked up take on "fair use" is that? Oh, because it's AI, so everything is thrown out the window?

@geerlingguy I wonder if they consider renaming Ansible to EBCDICble?

@thomasfuchs That is if you could even get all of that installed in an hour, even if all of the disks were in the correct order and they were all in working condition 😂

@evacide I'm scratching my head on how a misconfigured Anisble playbook* could have led to that (excluding ones that had actual malicious intent).

*: What they pointed to as being the cause of that complete eff up.

@thomasfuchs Or don't want chargers located in dark, isolated corners of parking lots or behind random buildings.

EV charging forecourts? Yes, please!
