People can't agree on anything these days..except that Windows sucks and switching to Linux is amazing 😂

Literally the only universal agreement I see. Crypto bros, privacy advocates, random tech Twitter - everyone has the "why didn't I do this sooner" energy

SWITCH TO LINUX 🐧

Best quote I’ve seen in 2k25

[ρяδ-¢ζυв] ghost @proclubownz.com · Jul 7

You know what, remove symbolic link to “Z:\” driver in winecfg, this effectively should remove access to your linux files, if not something else will be exploited. Yeah, really funny quote, considering that wine effectively rebuilds NT func logic and recently even wow64 transition was implemented.

Steam's In-Game FPS counter is now expanded to become the In-Game Overlay Performance monitor.

It can display various more detailed information about frame rates, CPU performance, GPU performance, and more.

The performance monitor can help you understand your frame rate (both including frame generation, and base game frame rate), and it can help you see if CPU utilization might be your bottleneck, or if your GPU is. You can see if you are out of system or video memory and if those factors are impacting performance as well. The performance monitor looks something like the below at full detail (detail levels, screen position, contrast/saturation, and background opacity are adjustable in Settings->In Game).

To enable the performance monitor, go to Settings->In Game, and find the Performance Monitor settings and detail level options.

Cats of Yore @catsofyore.bsky.social · May 24

1956 article about a new breed - the Cornish Rex. Like most modern breeds it’s a romantic tale of one person finding a natural mutation and thinking “well my next step has obviously gotta be inbreeding this sucker.”

Grainy black-and-white photo of a cat with short curly hair standing outside. Text below the photo and throughout the rest of the page reads “MRS. ENNISMORE'S ORIGINAL CURLY, KALLIBUNKER, SHOWS HIS OTHER FEATURES: CURLING WHISKERS, BALD EARS. A DIFFERENT BREED OF CAT. Ever since the ancient Egyptians first tamed them, cats have been purring along happily enough with straight hair. Then in 1950 a tabby owned by Mrs.
Nina Ennismore of Cornwall, England produced a male kitten (above) with beautifully curly hair.
Intrigued, Mrs. Ennismore bred the male to his daughter and, presto, two more curly kittens. Last year two of the curlies, also called Kex cats, produced the first all-curly litter. Now Mrs. Ennismore is selling some of her permanently waved charges to let other feline fanciers help develop what may heil the line holds true—the world's newest breed of cat.”

The alleged "Steam data breach" appears to be SMS delivery logs from some provider, if it is true at all. Twilio says there is no indication that this data was obtained from Twilio.

You don't have to change your password, such a provider would not have your account information.
