Jesus fuck me, you are a moron.

You fucking lawn dart. No it doesn't and this is the dumbest, most short sighted, most fucking idiotic opinion I have seen on the subject.

You and others like you not voting just pushed the Overton window in the direction opposite of what you want.

The tip is the worst part

Until the police decide that they don't care and decide to just rip your hands off the pavement and leaving several layers of skin behind.

I disagree with this. The feature disparity is massive.

Matrix CAN be good for small communities, but as it stands, it doesn't come anywhere close to Discord for small medium or large communities.

Honestly, I suggest that you just try to use it. The cracks will show very quickly.

Matrix, as it stands, is garbage.

Mint has a common issue of destroying itself on updates. It happened again to a coworker of mine a week ago when he decided to give nix a go (we are both systems engineers/network engineers).

That and mint's GUI elements are a thin veneer. There is still a lot of legacy garbage. It isn't made with the premise of "this GUI needs to be rock solid". It seems to be built upon the old tired bullshit that nix users always trot out e.g. "most users only log into x y z site and make a document once in a while" or some shit. It simply isn't true.

Most users do a variety of things. Some may be complicated, some may not be. The reason I tell people that Zorin is the distro of choice for refugees is that Zorin understood the assignment (although there are some very specific areas where it offers too much choice to the user, but those are exceedingly minor) and realized that the GUI and UX centered around that GUI is everything. Especially when you are trying to court windows users.

It should be noted that I am quite familiar with *nix, and he is to some degree familiar with it. Another guy we work with switched to popos on a whim a little over a week ago. He said he's really enjoying it.

This is how you bait a bot, folks.

Zorin OS is going to be the best for windows refugees. It is so far ahead in this area that it isn't even remotely close.

I don't know why people keep trotting out mint. Mint has far too many issues to be a serious suggestion.

[–] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 1 points 1 month ago

Mint is the one everyone touts, but mint is pretty shit tbh. Check out Zorin OS. I have a funky triple display setup and it handled it like a champ. Also UX/UI on Zorin is fantastic. There is GUI for everything.

 

Collection of potential security issues in Jellyfin This is a non exhaustive list of potential security issues found in Jellyfin. Some of these might cause controversy. Some of these are design fla...

 

As I have repeatedly said... Just because Biden has repeated the US company line of unequivocal support for Israel, etc etc (Because even among democrats it's political suicide to say anything else). That doesn't mean that he hasn't been trying the entire time to get Israel to stop the bullshit. This is more or less a point for point list of a lot of the things that have been tried. It misses quite a few of the more notable ones, but it grabs enough so that you get the idea.

 
 

So let me refer to my "stop using antisemitic words" chart...

The ~~Little Girl~~ "Hamas Militant" was ~~Filming~~ "Threatening with a deadly weapon" Israeli soldiers from the safety of her own ~~Home~~ "Hamas Base".

 

So, until recently, I have been using https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/blob/master/hosts.txt

However, as some issues that I have opened have shown, there are a bunch of left wing and progressive sites on this list ( https://github.com/rimu/no-qanon/issues ). I no longer think that it is trustworthy. Especially after reading some of the repo owners replies. Intentionally added was t.me which is a generic url for any telegram group. Discordapp.com was on it at one point.

Oy Vey. It's clear to me that the owner of this repo is not actually spending much time actually curating this list and instead it's just a shotgun approach. Does anyone know of a good alternative?

 

You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro... Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

Gamers Nexus - HW News - Linus Tech Tips' Terrible Response

 

My personal thoughts

At first it came off a bit whiney, but I watched the entire thing and I'm glad I did. It shows a pattern of carelessness and in some cases complete douchebaggery of LMG.

What they did to Billet Labs is absolutely un-fucking excusable. LMG and Linus, in particular, needs to be mercilessly shamed for that until Billet Labs gets a clear and unequivocal apology and paid restitution for damages. Fucking shameful. What a bunch of pricks.

Video Description

This video is not monetized. This video covers our serious concerns regarding the data accuracy of Linus Media Group, including Linus Tech Tips, ShortCircuit, and TechQuickie, particularly as it relates to rushing content out the door to favor -- by staff's own admission -- quantity over quality. As the company continues to expand into its LTT Labs direction, the importance of accurate data increases; however, even as 'only' entertainment, there are still certain responsibilities to the consumer and the manufacturers to report fairly (and to have defined corrections processes in place). We tried to approach this as objectively as possible and hope that viewers are able to listen to the evidence we present, particularly as it relates to significant and frequent data errors that now present in nearly every technical review video.

 

I love this video so much 😂
