Nor do I, and I use both Arch and Debian exclusively.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of flatpak for my usage, but this isn’t a great argument against it.

I’d rather someone “only” release on flatpak if that’s the simplest way they can support Linux compared to no support at all.

Sshfs isn’t the same as smbfs if that’s what you’re thinking. It has nothing to do with how windows does files.

I’ll fight you! In a game of Pathfinder of course.

It used to be a (potential) issue with sponging hard drives, though was debated back then even. I can’t think of anything that would be an issue for it nowadays though.

You’re very smart.

Meh, I used Gentoo in its literal first release off a DVD with only printed instructions for a stage one build on an old Pentium II. No internet or anything to fall back on. Learnt a hell of a lot (like don’t select Firefox and Open Office and do an emerge world as your first package step after the initial boot because it took literally a week to compile with no indication when it would be done). Definitely have a soft spot for Larry the Cow but after running that setup for a couple of years I feel I’ve taken what I needed from Gentoo.

Would recommend it to anyone who wants to dig in and really learn what makes their system tick, but not as a daily driver. I feel for me Arch hits the sweet spot, but was happy with Debian/Ubuntu too (at least until Ubuntu went to shit with snaps).

I think a register for each of the primes should be enough.

As someone starting up a custom t-shirt printing business desperately in need of building a customer base, I condone this message.

That doesn’t look quite right.

Took a look at it and it didn’t grab me. Different preferences for different people. I hope Helix continues to grow but I’ve no interest in it myself.

You’re thinking of a neutron. They are from memory a tiny bit heavier than a proton. Neutrinos are tiny.

I love the idea of MOND but it does seem like evidence is not in its favour overall. I remember getting an (I think) Scientific American magazine that featured it and I thought the idea sounded awesome. Unfortunately the universe doesn’t care what we think haha

Just did a quick search and this video came up. Maybe it will help point you in the right direction?

Nothing wrong with it. I use kitty these days but when I used gnome I had no problem with gnome terminal for one off jobs and some variation of the quake terminal type apps for things I wanted to be ongoing in the background. My usage style has changed a lot since then but I’d happily use it again if I went back.

But his “serious” videos are just like this too, so not sure who he is supposed to be parodying; himself?

Unfortunately true. Blocking features generally work pretty well though at least.

No, if you weren’t “involved in the scene” and only had the word of the person at the store then you have no idea what an iGPU is, let alone why they weren’t up to the task of running the very thing it was sold with.

You were a teenager in a time where teenagers average tech knowledge was much higher than before. That is not the same as someone who just learnt they now need one of those computer things for work. Not everyone had someone near them who could explain it to them. Blaming them for not knowing the intricacies of the machines is ridiculous. It was pure greed by Microsoft and the manufacturers.

I think Windows === Instant Coffee is perfect here

No, it was mostly the manufacturers fault for implying that their machine would run the operating system it shipped with well. Well that and Microsoft’s fault for strong arming them to push Vista on machines that weren’t going to run it well.
