Does he actually think Linux sucks? I’ll have to look up these “Linux Sucks talks”. I like Linux. I kinda like Rust too.

edit: OK question answered in first two minutes of the first “Linux Sucks” talk. He likes linux and I guess these talks are about improving it.

His haters make him famous

Champion Psychology.

You got a lot of shit just laying around on your floor?

if it’s small and you pickle it, I’m down.

Sorry but you are a big fan of cucumber.

Why not turn based games?

The pour over press is the best coffee flavor I’ve ever had. And so inconvenient.

Of course. Why would you use the wrong editor?

This “neutrality” is like giving equal voice to doctors and tobacco companies. They need to take the initiative for public health and declare the correct, ergonomic editor as international standard.

Reading. Writing. Coding. Studying. Exercise.

Is the HDD removable? I’ve swapped hard drives between thinkpads before and linux didn’t seem to care that it’s suddenly on a different machine. So maybe you can install something on the HDD on a different machine (that has a usb) and then swap the HDD back into the Surface. Maybe there will still be things to smooth out later, but it’s something to try.

It’s all grotesque mimicry. I haven’t seen any ai-generated erotic content. I’m afraid to ask where that keeps showing up for you. But I see ai content everywhere else, and the word “slop” is perfect.

Sometimes I use my X380 yoga as a tablet. It’s an actual mini laptop (13" screen) but it will turn sideways as a tablet, it’s touch-screen, and it has a pen built into the side. You can fold the keyboard around (thus the “yoga” element), which disables the keyboard and makes it an actual tablet. Really great. 10/10

There are newer yoga models but I can’t vouch for them because I only have this one.

Homesteading, or just growing your own food, is a great idea.

However, if you simply buy fresh meat and produce then you’ll have an amazing diet.

I love this

I don’t even notice Debian, which is exactly how an operating system should work.

And yet…

I tried to visit but their security certificate is expired. Are they still a legit site?

Do you think the fediverse has a civility problem?

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: social media (and humans) have a civility problem. And I wonder how much of it is astroturfed. When Trump was first running for the 2016 election, social media was flooded with racism. You disagreed with one twitter egg, and five more were like “debate me bro” and they had all these stats about race-science, and rhetoric to misconstrue the nature of equality and the value of liberalism. I don’t think it was grassroots. I think it was Steve Bannon’s troll army or some other coordinated institution. Here on Lemmy I keep seeing violent leftist rhetoric, and I also wonder if it’s feds, or reddit’s goons undermining the competition. They’ll post “murder all pigs” or “shoot fascists” and get like a thousand upvotes, and their arguments are belligerent and idiotic, and they pile on you for disagreeing. Feels coordinated. Feels like 2016 honestly.

is there anything we can do about it?

Downvote, report, block. Don’t engage (trying to remember that myself). But I bet they’re still driving people away.

In relation to “comeuppance,” that stuff is not entirely relevant. Frightened goons and croneys/lackeys still show “respect” (and probably feel it as they understand it). They’ll also act out the hostile wishes of the cruel bastard they follow. Comeuppance doesn’t follow my wishes through them. If I want a good life, I can’t get hung up on whether they get what they “deserve.” I’m focused on my own things.

And yeah, I’ve had one of those guys literally yelling at me that “the only respect is fear!” I disagree, but his friends obey him and I’m a loner. There will be no “comeuppance.” That’s resentfully imagining revenge into the universe. That’s how you become warped and hostile. I have things to do. I’m not interested in “comeuppance.”
