Watching the series on netflix I had the same reaction.

Basically any channel that started doing "reaction" content. Oh you're reading the top page of Reddit today? Cool, what creative value does that have to me? Absolutely none. Goodbye. I get that it's really popular but I have no idea why, and I get it's cheap to make but it's also shit, so you get what you pay for I guess.

The only exception to this is Jimmy Broadbent who occasionally does his "Sim Racing Stewards" series which is basically his take on Reddit user submitted clips of their online racing mishaps. I find it really interesting to watch because he has so much sim racing experience and, albeit less, experience of real world racing with real life stewards and racing rules. It's entertaining and interesting and I want to know his opinion on these incidents because he has enough context to have an opinion, and doesn't act like his opinion is gospel.

How is what you're describing different to what the author is talking about? Isn't it essentially the same as "AI do this thing for me", "no not like that", "ok that's better"? The trouble the author describes, ie the solution being difficult to change, or having no confidence that it can be safely changed, is still the same.

R has the same problems as far as I'm aware, though it doesn't form the core of a lot of modern CI of course!

Yeah that's the (public) policy, but there's nothing stopping them from saying "we're Google, we have a literal army of lawyers at our disposal, and you can't prove shit. Even if you could prove shit, we would find a way to keep doing what we're doing through some loophole that you can't afford to fight us on"

I used to find it took forever to start showing a picture compared to HDMI on my PC. Getting a new GPU so maybe that will improve things.

Yeah I'm a recent convert to less permissive licenses and was disappointed to see that redox was MIT. At the same time I know if I was to make anything worth open sourcing I couldn't fight big tech if they decided to make use of it in a non-compliant way.

I'm only really aware of him as former (?) leader of private discords who have to pay to talk to him so this article made that idea even more ridiculous and funny than it already was!

Mint is honestly your best bet. I installed it for my parents on their aging laptop and they're allergic to the terminal and they're getting on great with it. Requiring a password for administrative actions is generally a good thing for security but you could disable it (unfortunately the only way I know how is via the terminal!). I'm biased here because I'm a techy person but I've used Windows, macOS and Linux professionally for years and I always have to troubleshoot things. Windows, in my experience, has always been worse than the others because while Linux has very technical or terminal-based solutions a lot of the time, Windows official support generally tells you to "just reinstall or restore from a system restore point" which is such overkill for most problems. That or registry edits.

I don't know how you got to "the author is crazy" but he's making the well-trodden and I would have thought uncontroversial environmental impact argument, so yes windows 10 dying is bad for everyone.

When I looked into nix a year or two ago I was directed to use flakes by half of the documentation while the other half told me to not to use them since they were experimental. Ended up going back to what I knew, since, you know, installing things was a pretty solved problem.

Tried it on PopOS and wondered how anyone could use it at all. Installed fedora on a different machine and it's flawless. Probably just the age of PopOS at this point.
