Honestly, I think I like these definitions best. Just2look is also probably correct about a lot of people too though.

Oh. No, I ate dontbeleivethis' onion too. People are to weird to trust that anything is sarcasm these days.

That's so cool.

I knew it was making a statement from the moment I first watched it.

This is the first time I've ever understood what that statement was.

Yup. This is the one I thought of too. It uses all the English noises, but has none of the actual words. It's super trippy actually.

This is my guess too. I personally knew of some examples dating back to the 70s using it, but apparently 'coolness' as a term has been around since at least the 15th century.

Ha! Shows what you know. I got a 256 year subscription at only 10x the price!

Not that i'm aware of. Start10 can replace the default start menu though. https://www.stardock.com/products/start10/

The twitter thread is a fabrication.

The react native shit? all true. True enough that MS made an announcement talking about how they had removed it even. https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-start-menu-performance-boost-shift-to-winui-from-web-based-components/

As far as I can tell, react native is a way to make easy cross-compatible gui components in javascript. One of the more stupid things ms has done lately.

you dont get to sacrifice peoples bodily autonomy because it might be good for fucking society.

Just curious, what's your position on vaccinations?

[–] DaGeek247@fedia.io 93 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Lmaoooooo. What if people started pressing start to fix their game fps because that?

Ah gotcha. So it's not strictly correct to call the whole start menu a react application, just a part of it that always loads when you press the start button.

I'm all for being correct, but MS absolutely deserves being clowned on for this.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hey y'all.

I've been running a eBay special server with a pair of Xeon E5-2687W v2 and 64gb of cheap RAM. It's been working pretty great (other than a little bit of instability that randomly went away after a while, but I expect to come back at some point). I've had this setup for a couple years now, and have been eyeballing a couple different upgrade paths.

The reason I want to switch is that the eBay special motherboard does not have enough pci-e slots for what I'm planning in the near future.

The reason I want to upgrade is that I like having nice server hardware.

So I have been looking at alternatives. Is anyone else amazed at how cheap a CPU is, but how expensive a socket SP3 motherboard is? The cheapest sp3 board I've found is more than 500$, used. The cpus which will outperform my setup in every metric cost less than 200$.

This had me looking at new/used gaming hardware instead, which is cheaper, but misses out on ecc and also has a more limited amount of pci-e slots as well, (which is the primary motivation for changing my setup).

I'm trying to find a 16core/32 thread setup with the best single core performance available in that class. My current setup is 8core/16thread x2, and i'd like to avoid 'downgrading' to fewer cores. But the things I run usually run do better with more single thread performance than multi thread performance.

I found the epyc 7371, and the ryzen 5950x which meet my core requirements, but both have downsides I'm trying to mitigate. (Mobo price and ECC ram, respectively)

Do y'all have any alternative options I might've missed?
