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?

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.

Uh huh. And who pays for the medical bills after someone gets shot in the spine and decides they no longer want to 'consent' to this farce of an idea?

[–] DaGeek247@fedia.io 2 points 1 day ago (3 children)

i think society in general just gets the ick from the idea of people consenting to things being done to their body that they personally dont understand or would never want and tries to stop it to satisfy their own feelings. we see this applied to all kinds of things like abortion, body modification, drug use, suicide, gender transition, sex acts, sexual partners, etc.

These are not all the same thing. Drug use costs society, not just the drug user. Bridge/train jumpers are some of the most selfish people out there; forcing your suicide onto an unrelated driver is the epitome of an asshole move.

Your body your choice is right, but that stops right at the line where it crosses over into other peoples lives.

My point being, duels to the death very easy to argue against simply because of the societal cost of managing them, while completely ignoring any so called 'ick factor' it may or may not have on the majority of people.

Would you be one the people to sign up for body cleaning duty? Would you be happy paying taxes for the dueling arena where it is impossible to prove that there was consent the whole time, every time?

Oh it was. Google timeline should have never become a thing for anyone worried about privacy.

The thought behind it is actually pretty neat though. Being able to see a list of places you've previously visited is just super neat to have. Hosting it at home just means that nobody else has that information.

That's why it's called fantasy.

I'm still sad that the RUSp didn't work out.

I appreciate the article and the headsup about a neat device. I also appreciate the notes you had about the looks and hardware details about it. I adore the ethics statement at the top of the article. Thanks for sharing all of your thoughts on this.

So when Retroid got back in touch and offered to send me the 12GB version, I found myself asking a slightly different question, what, exactly, does those extra 4GB of RAM actually get you?

Rather than repeat my previous review, I've spent my time with the 12GB Pocket 6 looking specifically for where that additional memory makes a difference: and, perhaps just as importantly, where it doesn't.

So this time, rather than going into too much detail on the screen, controls, ergonomics and everything else I've already covered, I wanted to do something a little different: what happens when you take this already powerful little handheld and give it 12GB of RAM?

Now, as nice as it is to look at and hold, though, that's not really why we're here this time besides covering the basics, I've already reviewed the Pocket 6. This time, I want to find out what happens when you give it 12GB of RAM.

I’ve already spent a lot of time with Eden on the Pocket 6, and the 8GB model was super capable. But moving to 12GB had me wondering whether those extra 4GB could actually make a meaningful difference to Switch emulation specifically.

You repeated the same thought in four different ways before actually getting to the point of that thought. I also noticed this for a couple other paragraphs you had written as well, just not as egregiously. Maybe consider more aggressive cutting of the article? I'm not sure why you'd want this much repitition.

Your lsfg-vk link is out of date too. They moved from github to here; https://lsfg-vk.dev/.

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?
