Scrubs was a great show all around, but if you know you know - there are two episodes which are absolute gut punches that the show had no right to be that good.

Exactly, there’s a saying that when you’re in a field you assume everyone else must know about your field too, and people just don’t. Not just the grandma’s either, but everyday people: friends, family, coworkers, people just want their tech to work. They need to know that they’ll be able to “use office” even if it’s a different program and “check their email” even if it means installing chrome at first.


Element on Matrix is the only one I’m aware of - but it’s not the easiest to set up. I would try creating an account on matrix.org’s server just temporarily to try it out and see if it fits what you’re looking for. I like the decentralized nature of it, but the support is very piecemeal, and onboarding people essentially needs a class.


Finally something I’m qualified to answer!
Family Guy - While more “Flanderization” when all the characters became parodies of their previous selves, the real thing is when all of a sudden every joke needed to be “explained”. i.e. someone trips while running and then one of the character says “AHHH HE TRIPPED AND HE FELL”. Ruined every joke for me, was done with it after that. Kind of one decision, I’m sure someone said “people don’t get the jokes” and ruined the show for me.
House - When they suddenly swapped the cast out. Some people really liked it, for me that was the end of the original premise of the show.
How I Met Your Mother - Lily and Marshall’s baby. Having a baby in a show is always kind of the “Okay the romance story is over and the writers are out of ideas” but it was done so badly. Lily was always an extremely selfish character, and she was insufferable through everything, from making the literal choice to have a child based on some fated chance to shaming Marshall for having the gall to - go to work to support all of them while she did… nothing? Did she even have a job? Constant guilt trips and manipulation, she was the worst character but their relationship was just straight-up toxic when she got pregnant.
That 70’s Show - Having Donna stay home from college - 4 years of characterization thrown out the window. She was always a strong independent woman and now she’s just apparently throwing away her future? She attends remote classes for a while then it just disappears. Then suddenly Eric has this big revelation later that him marrying her might lead to an unsatisifed future? It was all just very clear that the writers didn’t know how to handle her being gone - a very common coming of age issue
X-Files - The move to California. Enough said.


Agree there, pushing that everyone is using it. I have found with family that using phrasing like “It’s similar to ChromeOS”, which… it isn’t really - but it helps their brains adjust. Like “Okay it’ll be different, but yeah I used ChromeOS and it was fine”


This is a good callout. I’m not sure how much of the video will be “There are alternatives available” vs “Try linux!”, but if we get into Try linux directly I want people to know that yes it works completely


I think it’s more just how I discovered him, the YT algo pushed him to me for quite a while which made me really skeptical of him. His content is decent like you said, but I’m always wary of people the algo pushes.


Yeah that’s where it turned from story to joke for me


Thought is good, but if life has taught me anything it’s that it’s only a matter of time until someone new takes over and uses it for their nefarious purposes. Forcing it is never a good option, it should be opt in


I’m always on the fenc with Drew Gooden, but this is a good one


Wow cash? Can you do that? I thought you could only buy things with debt piled against the asset, you know, leveraged buyouts


Love it, that sort of mission statement is exactly what I’m looking for!


Done and done! Found a couple articles about that!


Great idea! I have a local place that does that near me!


Damn this is insane. Using claude/cursor for work is near, but they have a mode literally called “yolo mode” which is this. Agents allowed to run whatever code they like, which is insane. I allow it to do basic things, you can search the repo and read code files, but goddamn allowing it to do whatever it wants? Hard no


As an aside, I have that coffee maker and love it! See if there’s a local coffee shop, here in my city it was stocked and they even let me try a cup from there
Oh as an aside, the coffee comes out SUPER weak at the beginning, where I thought it was broken. Give it 20-30 shots/cups and it’ll start tasting more normal. I’ve had mine for 3 years now and love it


Honestly they all suck


Holy setup batman. Was thinking it was going to be another container I spin up, but it’s enabling kernel modules, needs IOMMU, needs a ton of setup and then it looks like you still have to compile it? For now at least that’s above my needs


I’ll send it back to you then, do you have any non-LTT sources that show that it was fake allegations?
Wait there’s a jitsi plugin?
