Its really a shame. Every OS needs a simple text editor, possibly without formatting support of any kind. You’re not supposed to use it, it just makes it possible to edit basic configurations on the fly and things like that. Instead they support half of word pad and cram in copilot for some reason.
Although I do admit, I haven’t seen the need to move away from kwrite for a long time. Basic text editor that does what it should and does it right!

I eat junk food. I treat my body like a trash can. Doesn’t mean I treat the environment I live in the same. I share that environment with other people. While I may be trash inside, I don’t extend that where it intrudes upon other people. I care more about others than myself. My environment is spotless, I am not.
I think you are wrong.

Afaik, Matrix is also a protocol on which you can build your own thing. To me that was always the biggest draw. The current “Matrix chat” is a reference implementation of that.
A group of developers can take the Matrix protocol and make their own chat app and an organization can be built around it to do operational work and support (hosting). Discord 2 can just be Matrix underneath, not Matrix in name.

Maybe Asus should invest more into linux and start shipping it on their laptops by default? Maybe add an improved software compatibility layer for windows apps to get more people in?

I always tend to use ‘they’ when the gender is unknown. I read it somewhere long ago and thought… wait… why is this plural? And learned it is a gender neutral pronoun. I refer to everyone I don’t know as ‘they’ now. God is more of an ‘it’ in my mind, but that’s beside the point.

Ahem… are we assuming something?! Think about it… if God made us in their image, God is a hermaphrodite with a split personality disorder. Thus males and females. This is basic stuff.

In case anyone was wondering: they’re there in case you change your mind later on and want to transition. God left them there as a backup.

Yup. My entire PC desk (monitor, PC, 2+1 speakers) draw 7W when the PC is turned off (old speakers draw power when off for some reason). For comparison: My NUC server draws 7W white turned on, doing useful work. This infuriates me, so I got a zigbee power switch and shut the PC desk completely off when I’m not home.
If 7W for nothing pisses me off, you’re damn straight an idle or sleeping PC will too!

Nothing like Android no. You get the ability to install apps not available in the webOS store, homebrew basically. This is useful for running hyperion (open source project) for driving your own LEDs behind the TV for ambiance. I haven’t peeked in that scene in a year or two but last time I did, the latest TV’s or latest updated TV’s were not easily hackable.

Sony offloaded manufacturing to TLC. They made a joint venture and TLC gets to manufacture and distribute them, Sony does development. Sony still has control. What we may see in the future is build quality decline. I doubt it’s gonna effect the software much.

Some SOTA bullshit!

Normies just wont. It is just not what they do. And they are the majority.

And that’s actually a good thing. If 90% of users used ad blockers on youtube, their profit model wouldn’t work and they’d stat locking more behind a subscription or they’d double down on cracking adblockers. We can enjoy an ad blocked youtube experience because the majority of users don’t.

So… uh… laptops have a copilot key on the keyboard now…

Plur1bus can do so much, but they do so little! The whole first season felt very empty to me. Aliens bad, aliens good, aliens bad. There you go, you’re up to speed. I do eagerly await to see if they can escalate it in the second season.
Neither of the shows bored me, but breaking bad had much better writing.

Damn, I don’t think I’ll make 1M in my lifetime combined.

I’ve watched Linus some 10 years ago and it always seemed like he’s more of a face and a presenter and has others do research and tell him what to do. They give him some minimum info and let him go and make content. He knows more than the average person and apparently that’s enough to make content.
I wish he took it more seriously. He has a huge platform and can reach a lot of people and he often rather uses it for his own enrichment instead shining a light.

I wish that wasn’t a video, but a website with everything explained on one page. We used to host things damnit! /end rant

Of course they do. The first movie shows they are honorable killers / hunters. Afaik, this has always been part of their lore.

They usually involve competent professionals though. I’d say some of their plots are more about idiots than they are idiot plots.

For Arch, I’d go with something like EndeavorOS. The installation is easy for someone who knows what a file system or software repository is and I absolutely loved that you can install a bare bones system: just the desktop and almost no apps and you can go from there and install what you like (I wish fedora offered this).
I ended up not using Arch/Endeavor because of rolling releases and I found the AUR dangerous. I mean, its not dangerous, but anyone can put anything on there and its your job (and the communities) to make sure its good. I think a “build all the software yourself” is a great philosophy, but it only fits computer geeks (and I mean this in a good way). We cant all be Richard Stallman. I think for somethings, I can accept an “arbiter of software” who curates what gets on the repo and what doesn’t and that its shared via compiled binaries instead of code.
