Google in 2024: Net profit: $100 billion

The government: "here is a tiny fine that you can't even see in a microscope."

apt is a newer, more user-friendly front-end for apt-get and apt-cache.

apt = combines commands like install, remove, update, upgrade into one tool, with prettier output

#apt-get = older, lower-level, more script-friendly For normal use, just use apt now. For scripting where 100% backward compatibility matters, use apt-get.

This is great. Honest people like Steve and Wendell are great for Linux. Let's make sure, as a community, we don't give them a hard time about their distro of choice. I think bazzite is an excellent choice to start until they get comfortable digging deeper into the system.

That's why HDMI needs to die and display port needs to take over. The TV industry is too big for that to happen of course. They make a shit ton of money off of HDMI

And for that reason alone I built a Linux PC for my 11 year old and told him to go to town figuring things out. (I supervise everything of course). Dude has been doing fantastic so far.

I never understood kernel level anti-cheat. People STILL cheat. lol

If I had an open source program that is being used by fuckers like Google, who can afford to pay but don't, and then come in and demand shit. I'd just ignore them and pretend they don't exist and continue with my life. Let them bark until they're blue in the face. But first I'd put this as the first line in the README.md “if you're a big corporation and need help, come with money. Otherwise, please don't bother me”.

The engineering that goes into these emulators is pure insanity

How is his channel going to be deleted? They appealed the take down and YouTube will reinstate the video in a matter of 10 days if Bloomberg failed to produce proof that he used their copy right shit. I'm actually genuinely asking because I watched the whole video and Steve didn't say anything about their channel being deleted.

The idea that I should care about a corporate losing money is laughable to me. I'll give anyone a discount when allowed by the company without hesitation.

And excellent, because being linux, drawing attention to issues increases the chances of them getting fixed, whereas that is hardly the case for Windows.

This is the most important part of this whole thing to me. Imagine Nvidia watching Steve shitting on them for having horrible drivers on Linux and millions of people seeing that.

Self-hosting is a literal addiction. lol
I started with just an invidious instance and now I have my own audiobooks app that I’m also turning into a navidrome client. Did I say jellyfin and pihole, too?

I smell something fishy going on. I've been using the AUR for a long time and I'm now just hearing of malware?

Technofeudalism. Great book by Yanis Varoufakis. He called it and it’s actually happening.

I'm so glad he went with BazziteOS over a regular distro. Even though, I love CachyOS, but in this case we need to have more new users and we don't want them to deal with any potential issues.

They're going to keep enshitifying it until they kill it completely. Them blackholes, I mean shareholders, will never have enough money.

Unpopular opinion: install community distros, not corporate ones. That way you can support the developers for their hardwork. Redhat doesn't need our money, they already make enough of it. I use CachyOS, btw.

They did it before the Internet was even a thing, my friend.

And not even a fucking "don't show again" option. Either "call" or "remind me later". So there is no escape. Either take the ad in the ass or it'll show up again. Fuck that

Damn, I never thought about it this way. Wow. I always took it as a funny thing not thinking of the person in the photo being an actual person who could very well be harassed. Thank you for bringing this to light. Whoever thought of this is a good human being. <3
