It’s a little crazy to me how the most popular tech youtuber struggles so much with Linux, meanwhile fucking PewDiePie, who’s not known for being particularly bright, has been making videos about Linux and selfhosting and how fun it is to configure his system lol.

Incorrect. Smart TVs are malevolent. TVs with no internet connection are neutral by default, but can be swayed to either side.

Except for when the text isn’t actually loaded underneath and you only get like an extra paragraph at most.

It’s infinitely harder to make anonymous one-off/throwaway Signal accounts, so they have different use cases for me. I have one phone number, so I only have one Signal account with my real name on it to talk to my friends and family. If I want to privately message someone who I’m not quite sure I can trust with my identity there’s no way in hell I’m giving them my Signal.

This Lunchables was the shit as a kid. None of the other ones even came close.

Adding a birthday field is not privacy invading in itself the same way brandishing a knife is not assault in itself.

Context matters. I’ve held knives before and it was completely inocuous. I’ve used knives to chop vegetables, to spread butter, to carve something out of wood, etc. If I pulled out a knife while in a heated argument with someone that’d be a whole other story, and I don’t think “I was just holding the knife, is it illegal to hold knives now?” would exonerate me from accusations of intent or threat to assault someone.

In any other context adding a date of birth field would be inocuous. You’re not required to use it after all. But in this context as I understand it, it is explicitly infrastructure for age verification, even if it is not age verification in itself.

I see this topic come up often in conversations about degoogled Android and it makes me wonder what if anything I’m missing out on by just using cash/card for payments, cause not once have I been at checkout and thought to myself “man, I wish I could do this with my phone instead” but people talk about this like it’s almost a dealbreaker that makes it hard for them to seriously consider switching to Graphene or Lineage or whatever.

This is why Duolingo is a better friend than ChatGPT

すごい!

Eww why would you bring a Kira post here to the fediverse. Thought we were above this kind of slop here.

Take this with a grain of salt cause this is just what I’ve heard from a friend who knows a lot more about server hosting than I do, but from what I’ve heard hosting a Matrix homeserver is a potential legal liability unless you’re really selective about who you let on your server cause it stores the entire state of every room a user uses, so all it takes is one friend of a friend to visit a sketchy room where people have shared csam and you could be in trouble.

Assuming this is accurate and not just my friend misunderstanding something or being overly paranoid I could imagine people being very hesitant about hosting their own server rather than just using the default matrix.org server.

I think this is more malice than it is ineptitude tbh.

One of those meme distros like AmogOS or UwUntu that’s technically usable for a few months but then the hobbyist who made it stops giving a fuck and abandons it

Ah, I see we’re having some bear problems on our moonbase again

Wait who the fuck is Jan

Now someone’s gotta combine the two and make GNU/Linux without GNU or Linux

Lyrics? There are none, as that’s purely instrumental. Onomatopoeia? Assuming it’s a pure sine wave, probably just an “ooooooo” without any glottal plosive at the beginning. A pure sine wave wouldn’t be a “woooo”, that would be a sine wave with some kind of envelope filter or something at the beginning of it. It wouldn’t be “ooooOOOOOooooo” unless there’s an increase in amplitude in the middle or like, another additional sine wave of a slightly different frequency than the first and going in and out of phase with it or something along those lines. An “iiiiiiiiiii” sung in a head voice might be appropriate if the sine wave is really high in pitch.
