Haven't seen this video but I think Veritasium or Tom Scott did a video about this like a decade ago. They got creepily accurate results. Mains hum be scary

Hey Jonathon, hey ADL, suck my ass and balls.

Maybe stop perpetuating the same crimes that were once enacted on the Jewish people and you'll stop being called genocidal maniacs, you genocidal maniacs.

Maldito sea el estado ilegitimo de Israel✊

I too expected 2003 to be the incident that would make croissants illegal. They decided to blame it on the twinkies and it almost worked.

A Jewish woman cries on a UK TV panel as she hears a guest from the green party call Zionism a genocidal ideology.

Meanwhile, a Palestinian woman cries on the destroyed streets of Gaza as she watches her brother's corpse mutilated by shrapnel from Israeli attacks, with weapons provided by the imperial core, by the UK, as silly conversations are had on whether it is antisemitic or not to be critical of zionism.

We will be paying for this sin collectively for the rest of our lives. The history books will be as kind to us all as they were to the people who stood by as the Holocaust happened.

Distrobox has been hit or miss for me, the images (mostly the arch ones) sometimes just come out borked right out of the box, but I still second this. I haven't had issues with Bazzite's immutability and I use it on my gaming rig as well as my Framework laptop which I use for work. Whatever makes me feel like its straying from the path of Bazzite, I just throw it into a mint distrobox. I don't even attempt to install it directly into Bazzite unless it's an appImage or a flatpak. As a webdev who handles multiple node versions and multiple codebases at once, I have 0 issues with Bazzite for work.

Even if it was your own solar energy, that's just setting money on fire tbh...

I don't know that there's good solutions right now, at least for people like you and me; I had some android tv boxes from bestbuy but they are region locked to the US so I had to use my laptop with a VPN as a hotspot for the boxes to be able to set them up, and they have lost that configuration before causing me to do it again.

Right now I don't have TVs but at this point I think I'd be more compelled to try and make an HTPC running Linux and using KDE's TV mode. I'm not too versed on the tech but I'd guess that lack of... CEC (?) Would be the biggest hurdle to overcome, right? But a machine of your own design would probably handle many more codecs and games, and at better performance, than any tv box would... And a steam machine does have that tv tech, although its... a bit too expensive.

I'd love nothing more than an affordable little box that wasn't a complete violation of your privacy or a forfeiture of your freedom to use the hardware how you see fit, but I think the high price of an HTPC or a steam machine is the literal price of our right to own our shit in this day and age.

Controlling the brightness of my (non-laptop) monitors from within windows was never a thing for me in all my decades using windows. I instantly gained this power on both my monitors as soon as I jumped ship. Windows truly is utter dogshit.

I don't know if this argument holds, considering people already consider and frequently do move over between macOS and Windows. If they can stomach the transition from Windows to MacOS, they can absolutely stomach Linux.

A big problem, I think, is that people may not always choose the best DE for them. I've yet to end up on the terminal for amything on KDE, while I had a multi-week troubleshooting session on my Mac mini to get a wireguard tunnel to be connected by default, something that's like, an extremely easy task on Linux.

To be completely, entirely honest, I'm pretty sure I've ended up on the terminal for linux-specific issues FAR less than on Windows. There's so much less tinkering to do on Linux if all you want is an experience not too alien from what you're used to, which KDE offers to Windows users.

The real issue, I think, is that Linux is just a different ideology. There's people making sure everything works together, but for the most part each component of your desktop experience might be owned by a different team with different responsibilities, and you're able to change a lot of those things as you please. I had never considered using anything other than windows explorer as a file browser in my 3 decades using Windows, but on Linux it might as well be one of your first 5 decisions. I never liked the Mac UI so I never even considered MacOS, and that was waaaay before I started considering the corporate/closed-garden issues around it. On Linux, Mac Users can go for their look, Windows users cans go for their look, and people looking for a new experience can have the time of their lives going down obscure rabbit holes with tons of very different and functional DEs. These can be the biggest positives, but often look like the biggest negatives of Linux because we're trained to think computers work only the way Microsoft and Apple want them to work. We've been trained to accept a chewed, pre-digested version of the digital world, and sometimes have to be inconvenienced a bit to remember how much more power we have on our hands if we decide to care even a little bit.

Imagine how I feel right now, I bought 16 used 20tb Seagate drives around September last year for $200 each, from Amazon, and finally built my dream NAS after a decade of waiting and planning. I don't understand how I got so lucky but I did. They're all working just fine, and I somehow avoided having to wait another decade to finally build my NAS due to random capitalism gold rush bullshit. Praise be.

This sounds like a step towards computer vaccines, and I'm not about to let my computer get autism, thank you.
