I don't like the vibe with it sitting on top of the Titanic. ๐Ÿซฃ

Take a deep breath and look for the text that follows "password:" Self defeat is sell fufilling! Think of it as ASCII wheres Wally.

We all like to think that way. But your not going to build a bridge, fix a road or fund a hospital are you with your money? Also I am talking about taxes in general not specifically the US.

Off the top of my head, rope to put down Gide lines in case you get silted out so you have something to follow to get out.

Also extra everything, if your open water diving and you run out of air (or other critial equipment failure) you can roll the dice on the bends by going straight to the surface, not so with cave diving; your just going to drown.

People are lazy as fuck. Provided it plays their games they don't give a shit about features updates, patches, bug fixes etc.

They probably have no ideal what version of windows is even installed on their machine.

I second popos and mint. I love fedora but if he is a gamer you want something that will just work (navida built in or a very easy one click mechanism to get it). If he has to research PPAs and installing rpmfussion it will get all too hard very quickly. Also do some expectation setting before hand, research what games he plays work on linux, better he finds out now rather than after 2 hours of pain or getting band for "hacking" because of proton triggered an anti-cheat thing.

Edit: I run fedora on all my machines except my gaming rig which is popos. Fedora works too but popos is hassle a free experience.

"The People" (sh.itjust.works)

I watch the WAN show, as it seems to be the last LTT property approaching genuine (if you skip the merch messages). But Linus use of the "for the people" really rubs me the wrong way. He can't be a big boy and take a position or make a decision without outsourcing it to "the people", seems to prove he is completely out of touch.

No hate to Luke or Dan, I like them. Luke deserves a fucking metal for the "hard R" save.

They are not what the used to be that's for sure. I rarely watch them and when I do I normally remember why I don't within a minute. Still hoping the will lift their game but subebed to a lot of other tech channels as they are all better than "how many USB device can you plug into a PC".

[-] unknown@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

I don't, it does not feel genuine anymore, they just pump them out.

SNL is giving LTT too much credit.

When I croped it I knew someone would comment on it. Rest assure F-droid updates are done.

Anyone eles noticed that LTT (excluding LMG clips) have not dropped their usual daily videos yet. Leads me to believe they saw this GN video.

Good work Steve, they are already taking a bit more time on today's video at least!

[-] unknown@sh.itjust.works 41 points 10 months ago

Yes! The Linux coverage from LTT is positive and encourageing UNLESS Linus is in the video then he looks for any excuse to raise his voice and yell "this is stupid" or "its going to break on me in 5 minutes". Emily's very good coverage of PopOS back in 2019 ish got me into Linux and I have not looked back. Its disappointing to see how with many things (not just Linux) how Linus will change the direction of a video to be more entertainmenting/clickbaity at the cost of good information and quality.

From memory the UK gov is trying to (or has?) pass anti-encription laws targeting the big tech giants GAFAM (google, apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft). I am in Australia so not up to date with this.

Its hard to tell from the icon pack they are using but I think this might be a screenshot from a degoogle phone? For example I don't see any Facebook or Microsoft specific apps. But I do see a nextcloud app which is an open source self hostable replacement suite for Google's cloud apps.

Basically the law change won't affect them as they are not using any GAFAM apps/software.
