Don’t forget the hundreds or thousands of dollars it’ll take to wire up your whole house with Ethernet plus the wireless router you’ll need anyway for any device that doesn’t have an ethernet plug
I mostly read things here. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Outside of Lemmy, I read things. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Like software documentation. Or maybe something else. Who knows what the day will bring.

Oh duh, you’re absolutely right, I forgot about the oft used configuration option of “sudo fuck my boot loader = enabled”
If linuxmemes thinks this meme is humor, it explains a lot.
Look I’m not going to defend windows or Microsoft. Personally I doubt its useful at all but it doesn’t really matter. A broken dependency is a broken dependency.
Even if it’s a pet project from a bing exec that’s completely unnecessary - if removing it will break things, an os geared towards a general public should prevent it from being removed.
Did I say I was defending MS’ restrictions on Edge? No. I think it’s dumb, but not for the reason you think.
MS prevents you from uninstalling edge because for some stupid reason a bunch of system processes and their store all require and use edge as a dependency. Removing edge would actually break a lot of things in windows. Is it stupid? Absolutely. But the reason they don’t want to do that is because MS implements a lot of restrictions like this to prevent their end users from breaking windows with stupid mistakes.
But this meme isn’t about allowing people to removing edge. Its trying to flex on the capabilities of linux vs. windows but using the laziest smooth brained way to do that. There are a lot of benefits to linux over windows. But the ability to sudo fuck your bootloader isn’t one of them.
And it’s not even that great of a flex too. “My OS lets me sudo commands that will break my system.” Great, so your system lets you accidentally break the system with a fat finger mistake? Why would I want that?
Windows is geared towards a general audience that includes some of the dumbest and least technically literate people to ever walk the earth. And they have to support it. Of course they’re going to limit your permissions.
The movies did Faramir dirty.
In the books, he immediately rejects the temptation of the ring after Frodo tells him of Boromir’s temptation, saying that a thing of the dark lord should not be used - thus proving how much stronger and wiser he was than his brother.
Faramir is one of my favorite characters in the books - a black sheep that represents hope for humanity after a book and a half of being shown humanity’s failures. And he’s such a badass in RotK
Peter Jackson weakened his character because of pacing and because he didn’t understand that stories need occasional bright spots of hope and it’s of the greatest sins of the movies IMO. Which is even more rediculous when you realize that Tolkien based the character on himself.
No time for distrowars
…says the guy that makes a meme shitting on users of every other distro.
I write simple explanations in english because developers can only write simple instructions in code.
I see this shit every day. You know why? User base.
Linux doesn’t have to worry about grandma using it. The vast majority of the Linux user base is technologically adept humans that know not to remove the bootloader.
But you know for a fact that grandmas were trolled into or accidentally removed system files so often that Microsoft did something about it.
Also note, Chromebooks - which use a Linux adjacent os that is marketed to a wide audience including kids and the elderly - doesn’t let you do shit to system files. Android and Steam Deck are also highly locked down.
The point is its a wierd flex to say that linux gives sudo users the power to break your system when its really just saying your os is too niche to have to worry about grandma.
Honestly, I couldn’t quite simpatize with her. She complains they were giving her too much to do?
Unless you fully understand the effort involved in her reported daily and weekly quotas, you aren’t qualified to make an opinion on them. But what might make more sense to you is that LTT currently has a full team dedicated to what she was expected to do by herself.
The biggest issue for me was her reports of a toxic work environment. When she would bring up concerns about her workload, they’d respond by insulting her and threatening her job. She even saw an instance where a coworker felt she was sexually harassed and Linus yelled at and berated her for being an idiot.
My guess is that Linus is the owner and works like one, and wants everyone else to work as much as him.
This is exactly the kind of boss that creates a toxic work environment. A good boss should be respectful of each employee’s strengths and limitations and foster an environment where everyone can contribute meaningfully without feeling unduely overburdened.
A good boss encourages a healthy work/life balance.
Yes, Linus is a workaholic. His work ethic is unhealthy. He has publicly acknowledged this on WAN show numerous times. If he expects his employees to work as hard as he does, then he is knowingly fostering an unhealthy work environment.
This video confirms what I’ve thought for a long time. The biggest problem with Linus Tech Tips is Linus.
And the fact that the video even declares that it took Yvonne to put her foot down before any changes could take place confirms that LTT has a cult of personality that is damaging the brand and the team. And keeping Linus as a CVO isn’t going to change that.
And of course, Madison’s accusations bring a whole new layer to the drama. A layer that should have been more obvious to me given that the only woman on that video was Linus’ wife.
Also, anyone else find it funny that Gary Key made yet another mistake in this video - that Linus was the one that talked about testing every video - and not Gary’s own fucking team member? Also his little “I dont agree with EVERY criticism” was a bit too petulant and defensive for this video. Come on…
Watch GNs video. Steve goes through several instances where their handling of sponsorships is clearly inappropriate, beyond just investing in Framework.
The biggest problem Steve points out is that LTT content is clearly biased from the beginning. They know exactly what angle they’re pushing for before they start writing/testing the video. Whether they are Short Circuit videos where they wave away and even apologize for issues they find in their review-not-a-review, or whether it’s Linus’ own content decisons where he decides that he hates a product before even starting work on a video and so refuses to give that product a fair shake.
Also Firefox mobile already supports (a tiny limited subset of) extensions. And the version before their big UI overhaul supported extensions from the add-on store - although it would be unusable if you loaded up too many.
The big change is that the new shinier faster version of Firefox will now support their new desktop extension platform - and probably run them much more efficiently.
Pretty sure the person who wrote this headline only ever used Chrome mobile.
Wow, that’s awesome. You’re so cool bro.
Lol first honest answer of the bunch.
But what if poo piles are literally coming out if it multiple times a day and being sprayed from it with every fart and anal pucker.
Sure, a pussy can be dirty. But if a pussy is dirty, guaranteed the ass is toxic. If a woman is going to clean either, it’s going to be the pussy. A woman with a clean pussy still needs to do some prep before you go chowing on her ass.
Plus, the pussy has a self-cleaning mechanism. So even a woman with average hygiene (takes a shower occasionally) will have a pussy that’s generally safe for consumption, notwithstanding any STDs.
The ass’ only job is to jettison waste from your body. It’s literally just a shute for poop. It doesn’t clean itself because it doesn’t need to. It’s gross because that’s its job. A lady will need to be asked to do extra work to clean that shit up for you. Which is fine in the bounds of a relationship with trust and communication…
But it seems a little unreasonable to expect that of a random encounter with Daphne or Velma.
I have a bidet. But I also know the shit it cleans off and how disgusting my toilet is after even a few days of shit going through it and being wahsed away with water.
Fresh from a sweaty ghost hunt with a few leaks and sharts from getting scared.
I’m not gatekeeping. You want to eat ass and your partner is okay with it and doing the prep to make it safe? Go for it.
But I guarantee you that most of the people on the internet claiming to want to eat ass have ever or will ever place their tongue on an asshole.
No, obnoxious elitism breeds controversy - or more likely, indifference.
