The good thing about Linux is: preinstalled literally just means preinstalled. Not preferred, not prerequisite, and perfectly uninstallable.
But that’s all I have to say. You can test each and see if you like them, or look up what people think of each individualy. If you don’t like one, just uninstall it, and install your preferred alternative.
Wait till you learn about the Wilhelm scream…
Fair enough, have a nice day.
You know who else is, publicly, very confident in what they’re doing? Microsoft.
Install fish
chsh -s /usr/bin/fish
That’s all, folks.
Who the fuck still uses Ubuntu in 2025?
AI is more susceptible to misinformation than the average AI user would be without AI.
This editing gave me a headache
Not really, electricity is pretty cheap when you live right beside the largest hydro plant in South America.
My server is a loose motherboard with a loose PSU, thrown into the living room TV rack, which I leave open for cooling. It’s a repurposed (free) Athlon, DDR2. I only use it for smb and git backups, and project sharing between my desktop and laptop. What amazes me most is my IT coworkers don’t find that a perfectly acceptable scenario.
I mean, literally just lean it against the wall, at the very least…
No one is obligated to have internet, and there are actually people who don’t have it. The TV isn’t sold as an “online only” product, they cannot block you from using something that works offline because you’re offline.
You should’ve never connected it in the first place. Never even set up any functions that a piece of hardware prompts you to. Most of those are enforced only because the company behind them gains something from you having them set up. Unless you actually need something that depends on that function, disable the function.
I mean, I agree that in an ideal world, people would just not use TikTok, and let it die. But they use it, because it hijacks their dopamine response, it uses pavlovian and skinnerian conditioning to trap people into cycles of behavioral control, and they don’t know or care enough to stop using it. It’s literally the same thing a drug like weed does to your dopamine receptors.
And you could say “just don’t use it yourself”, the problem is this mass compliance leaks onto every other platform. Stories/shorts were a Snapchat issue, now they’re an internet issue. Everyone is getting brainwashed, and as a result, we get shit software spilling over from their shit platforms.
Maybe I got a little too doomer with this one, but how could I not, when taking about modern day social media…
Decent buffering, decent scrubbing with thumbnail preview, double tap to skip 10 sec forward or back, proper fullscreen on desktop, and orientation on mobile. That’s just to cite the very least. Imagine how good the YouTube player is, and how smoothly it works 90% of the time. Pornhub works that smoothly 100% of the time, with 90% of the features.
TikTok doesn’t even let you scrub, at all.
I read mine. My boss sent it to me 2 days before I actually started working there, then he let me work there for a week before actually signing, with all benefits being contractually valid from the day I started, not from the day I signed.
If you never saw your contract, get a lawyer.
I’m actually amazed by how the Pornhub and Xvideos players, after all this time, are still better than the Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok players, like it’s not even comparable. The way people can just accept whatever slop any corporate will feed them is just insane to me…
Took you 4 years to decide to fucking read your contract?
Don’t care, show me good gameplay and good reviews, then I’ll consider buying it.
Why are games nowadays 99% careful wording, business decisions and clout, and 1% game?
