A local hero was saving women from Windows by installing fresh Linux distros on their dated machines. I wanted this superpower.
In working through the installation I was the least disappointed I’ve ever been with an OS. The result was something I truly liked. If I nail down every single problem it could be my all time favourite machine.
If it’s in the Fediverse, you can talk to it and it might talk back. I love that ageless feature!
The Bible as a Manga series by non-Christians or Christians with no need to soap it over. Raw and gritty in the way it was originally described. Old Testament level action stories.
So people strangely know the entire Bible without a hint of religion being demanded. Post-theology, post-religion in a way that people might understand the idea of an egalitarian world coming out of an absolute quagmire.
Arch is great, but it needs longer explanations considering the user needs to do a lot more. Sometimes you find them, but other times you find a snarky superuser with zero people skills.
It’s a shame they aren’t government standard, so I could take a local course to become a snarky superuser too.
Most of it involves everyday Linux usages, but some of it is specific to Arch and it breaks so hard. It’s not a great thing when you’re stupid busy and don’t have the headroom to get to the bottom of it. Sometimes all you get is vague theories on how a fix might occur. After that you’re playing shell games trying to debug your problems.
Definitely recommend for pro-Linux people that have a breakable laptop that can go on the backburner.
I paid for Lynda.com, and it could have easily taken in more business if YouTube wasn’t working so hard for Google ads. There are a lot of paid (and free) services that suffer because of YouTubes ad-money business model.
Netflix could use the extra business. There are plenty of services failing to thrive while YouTube exists. Peertube would be wide open if YouTube went the way of most of Google’s stable of apps. PeerTube is wide open even if YouTube doesn’t go away anyway.
People genuinely hate ads. It’s a high degree of enshitification. YouTube could divide into paid content and free content in a simple Freemium model.
Or, add third tier with ads, which any user can opt out of in the same way contributers can. I’d be happy to click subscribe on an ad free experience with less content available to me.
Or, add an option for a couple of free tier items per month, week, or day. Like Medium’s business model.
It’s not hard to stop sucking!
Putting people on autopilot. The MS way!
This looks interesting, thanks!
Having many loving disciples can never be spoiled by an occassional traitor.
It’s a new management objective.
Imagine life without concern and high expectations your dreams will be profitable. No wonder money makes money.
I bought the best bamboo pillow I could find and haven’t looked back. All the pillow problems I ever had just disappeared. I hate going anywhere without it.
Quitting drinking was a bummer. But mainly because most of the people I’m drawn to are sociopathic alcoholics. I don’t know if I hate the game or the player anymore :(

Open source isn't struggling. It's a struggle. People have high expectations, and expectations go awry in open source and profit models.
Pull out the tabs you want and close the rest?!
Being overweight is an overblown focus on people’s health. Most mildly overweight people lead a normal life. There are more important focuses that also impact weight gain without all the shame.
Goto statements do nothing wrong. They were just popular in a time when people were coming to grips with desk jobs, automation, and programming for the masses.
You can track telemetry, and then block those domains.
