I do a lot of programming in C which usually contains a bunch of functions that I create. Just curious... am I the only one that always ends my main() function by printing "END OF LINE."? Just wondering... 🤔

If a system has to be explained to people, that's a clue that its design is driven by what you "know" rather than by what people immediately recognize as useful.

I NEED to buy a new motherboard and CPU for my mATX form factor computer. It is a dual boot Linux computer that I built 8+ years ago. It's Mostly used for gaming and billpay (LOL). I cannot seem to make a proper decision about anything anymore.

AMD or Intel?

*Philosophical Somethings from a Rambler*
_Part 3_

The archivist of our day
Knows acid-free paper's a plus

But also knows their way
Around a fancy desktop computer.

Where are they when I
Cry in agony for backups?

For anyone else who has a Samsung Android who has disabled Gemini and thought they disabled all the Google assistant features only to suddenly have the power button not work as a power button and brings up a "try saying" menu:

This had been irritating me since the 25th of June update, a feature I don't want and didn't ask for.

I am not a seasoned #computers person, I am in fact attempting to push through my general loathing of the direction that computing has gone since my early days and achieve some sort of renewed rapport with the machine. We can be friends, right?

So why the fuck does #Wayland exist at all and does it serve some purpose other than being a festering wound in the side of #X11? What am I missing about that situation?

[UPDATE: I have been advised by an anonymous individual with knowledge of the situation that a new Raptor announcement on products under development is scheduled for Q1 2026 ... which would be "six to twelve months after" as predicted. "Open firmware" is specifically mentioned and absolutely planned. It's worth pointing out that both Raptor and SolidSilicon are now listed as top-tier Platinum members for OpenPOWER parallel with IBM itself. That implies SolidSilicon is still in the mix and IBM is still backing OpenPOWER. They stressed this is not an official announcement, so you take it for what it's worth.]
