Okay, but, did you actually watch the video? It’s based on Homestar Runner and how they intentionally mispronounced something - the mispronunciation is entirely intentional.

That is, in fact, how “dogecoin” is pronounced (doj coin). Here’s one of the two creators of dogecoin saying as much (and why!): https://youtu.be/kVDcOI0-gdQ

No snapd on mint at all.

Try the auto tab discard extension on Firefox. That’ll reduce firefox’s memory footprint.

This response is entirely unhelpful. Yes. Fuck nazis. I get it. This adds nothing. Nazis are bad, but we must coexist with them, lest we round them all up and get rid of them, which isn’t gonna happen. If it were that easy, we’d have done it already!

I agree in principle, but you’re not going to win any battles with that mindset. They’ll just respond with “so much for the tolerant left”. Victimization is a beloved pastime for them.

Sure, up to the point where they harass someone or attack them, or have a history of doing so. A belief of “I think some people do not deserve to exist” is different from a belief of “People should be allowed to X” or “People who Y should not be harassed”. A nazi sympathizer who thinks nazis shouldn’t be attacked is fine, a nazi who attacks others is not.

Yeah, the axes on this are weird, why would the opposite of a systems language be a toy language? And why is Lua, a very popular and commonly used language in tons of stuff, a “toy”? And Lua is a nu Lang? It’s older than Java, maybe it just feels newer because each release isn’t necessarily backwards compatible?

I think you’re using this meme template backwards - the car should say most people and the text for the directions should be flipped. The car is supposed to be going somewhere it shouldn’t, not somewhere it should.

Honestly, I would have expected C++ to end with the SIGSEGV and nothing else, then for python to reply.

It’s the king’s foot, duh, if you aren’t sure how long it is, measure his foot again.

They probably are waiting for the open source driver to be rock-solid, and it’s getting there.

SteamOS will have the same issues, Nvidia doesn’t like to play nice on Linux.

Might be a bit early to make such a statement - This is her third video. While I agree that her videos will undoubtedly have more personal effort put in and will have significantly less restrictions as compared to the content churn at LTT, I think you’re underestimating the impact the Linux videos she did had and the reach that LTT, flawed as they are, have. Emily’s not gonna really reach as many tech “converts” (people who might get into tech but aren’t really yet), just people already into it, which is fine, but y’know, it’s nice to be able to get people into the hobby. Don’t let your hate for LTT, the organization, blind you to the effort Emily put in to make good videos while there!

I’ve been using Ubuntu for years and I like KDE, so I’m using Neon. Ubuntu is familiar, easy to fix, easy to find out how to fix, and neon doesn’t come with snaps.

Waypipe?

I’m going to call BS. It never, ever changed your default browser? Really? It never changed which program opened certain filetypes, like HTML files, and switched it to edge?

I’ve used Firefox for years, it has never reverted settings on me - they’ve added new settings whose defaults I may not have liked, then immediately disabled - but reverting, never. Do you have an example?

Sure, but them stonewalling KDE for months with libadwaita theming preventing gnome apps from using the breeze theme properly on KDE is a bad decision - one that should never have happened. They eventually worked it out, but they shouldn’t have first told the KDE devs to essentially pound sand, especially given KDE goes out of their way to make their apps use gnome’s themes correctly no matter what, so your gnome system looks right when using KDE apps. The same courtesy should be expected from GNOME, at least to provide the scaffolding for that.

That is the kind of bad decisions I thought of when they brought it up. Or heck, why isn’t dash to dock built into gnome at this point? Like a quarter of the gnome users (and yes, they checked their telemetry and found this to be true) were using it - that’s obviously something that even if it goes against their design philosophy the DE should have built-in at this point. I think if you’re not in the GNOME weeds, you won’t see the kinds of boneheaded decisions they have made over the years.

All of those languages will convert numbers into booleans, 0 is false, all other numbers are true.

I understand what you mean here, but how can KDE realistically make commercial software vendors port their software to Linux? What group or groups could incentivize this, and how can it be done without creating significant user growth first? (it’s a chicken and egg problem, so you can’t wait until the users are there if they’re waiting on software to be available)
