Aliens Reigns as Ultimate 80s Action Sci‑fi Masterpiece

Aliens is the greatest action sci-fi of all time, and Weaver was the perfect bad-ass heroine without being an insufferable do-it-all, know-it-all girlboss figurine. The 1980s really got almost everything right. https://t.co/K3cv4BVEIr

Linux Revives Old PCs, Making 2012 CPUs Feel Fast

Love how many computers Omarchy have brought back to life. Windows and macOS will end-of-life devices willy-nilly, but Linux revives them from obsolence, and proves that even a 2012 CPU is PLENTY FAST for so many things. Even a gorgeous...
