"I've found a lovely community of people. I get my parasocial fix without being inundated by cryptogrifters shilling shitcoins, nor by thought-leaders posting inflammatory takes for clout.

A major distro compiling packages for x86_64-v3: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/introducing-architecture-variants-amd64v3-now-available-in-ubuntu-25-10/71312
Together with the Windows 11 baseline and x86_64 macOS going away, this is going to allow SIMD in places where it currently doesn’t work well.

So #youtube is deleting videos of people showing how to install #Windows 11 on computers without TPMs and using local accounts. Can't imagine why.
So, please share mine! I make absolutely no money on my videos, I purely educate.
