YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PUT MY SHOES ON MY FEET MYSELF‽ UTTERLY UNUSABLE!

-Mr_Blott, probably

Yeah but at least our smugness isn't based off 30-year-old information, unlike yours.

In my experience, YouTube is almost universally shit for anything to do with software. I've stopped bothering trying to find any software YouTubers and rely on blogs instead.

IIRC it was specifically Civics made after a certain year. I wanna say 1994? Subaru is super big on the concept, too, though. It's actually where they got their name ("Subaru" apparently means "unity" in Japanese).

Yeah I never cared for him much before, but I also never cared about him much either. Now I actively despise him, which I guess is a form of successful marketing in that I'm still talking about him, but fuck it.

EDIT to add: I vaguely remember hearing that Civics were all compatible with the same parts regardless of model year, but I don't know how true that is.

That's a fair point, but I've already seen what one uninformed, idiotic YouTuber (LTT) is capable of achieving by closing his eyes, putting his fingers in his ears, stamping his feet, and whipping his equally uninformed followers into a frenzy over an issue that was almost entirely his own fault. I fully expect such events to continue as Linux gains popularity.

Full autonomy would include all roads and speed limits.

Unpopular opinion: I'm concerned that widespread adoption of Linux would mean a reduction in functionality for power users. Considering that the majority of "regular user" effort seems to be going into gaming, I'm doubly concerned that the first major group to embrace Linux would be Gamers, a demographic I think is capable of doing untold damage to the ecosystem at large.

I'd probably move to FreeBSD if things got to that point.

EDIT: by "Gamers" I don't mean people who like video games, I mean the people who make video games their entire personality and assume they understand everything about a computer because they managed to install Steam without blowing away their entire OS.

BG3 runs more reliably on Linux for me, though my Windows install is getting old and crusty these days.

Both of your comments hurt in that way only the truth is capable of hurting.

I actually disagree with point 1 to an extent. The startup work for such a machine would indeed require a lot of effort, but once that groundwork is in place, wouldn't that make it easier to maintain momentum and release a successor?

Not much, dollar, how about you?
