Yesterday someone was murdering their dog in public. I almost intervened, but thankfully they told me just in time that they've already squared that decision with their conscience. Phew, haha, that was close. Wouldn't that have been embarrassing, if I pushed my ideology onto somebody who has already squared that decision with their conscience?
What is considered film expertise today is a joke. This applies to all mediums, but especially in cinema you see it all the time that a person who has watched popular, top-rated Hollywood movies is considered very knowledgeable. Yeah, it doesn't matter, especially in a private group, but it's a cringing pain in the ass to listen to these people talk about movies.
One of the most interesting aspects about the Fediverse is also the most confusing one in practice: the communication across different platforms. E.g. the ability to communicate from Lemmy to Mastadon is incredible. However whenever that happens, it's difficult to even realize that it's happening. It could an extremely useful feature, but currently, at least on Lemmy, it's just confusing.
In Lemmy itself I'm annoyed by (too) many things, but mostly they are related to our behavior and stubbornness. Nonetheless, with all its faults overall Lemmy is still my "favorite" social media.
Ugh...not gonna watch it anyway, but I hate it in general when a content creator with the stereotypical Linux user characteristics (nerdy, tech-savvy), but without the more important requirements (patient, willing to learn, adaptable) produces this kind of content.
I didn't want to do that at my first attempt for some reason (probably because it felt wrong/unauthentic to play Skyrim without first-person...). But after reading this, I tried it. It's certainly a weird 3rd person perspective, yet I had so much more fun. So many many thanks for your suggestion!
I've spotted a devil fruit user.
But I wouldn't be surprised if the memes give outsiders the impression that there is a real text editor war.
Great question and I think it is.
Regarding tools, there is for example the ClamAV toolkit, which is easy to setup for the average Linux user, but probably not for the most vulnerable users that need these tools the most.
But in general the biggest problem might be how we treat the biggest vulnerability - the user. With more freedom and control in Linux, we also have more responsibility. And I'd argue that welcoming new users with bad practices is getting overly normalized, e.g. executing commands/scripts that you don't understand or depending too much on something like the Arch-user repository.
If I had to choose, I'd pick the computer as a whole. But learning on your own pace and at whatever depth you wish to is already possible. It's the variety of different tools and learning sources that make it possible. A single "digital aristotle" would miss the whole point. The only "benefit" would be to have it all in one place and some people try to make that problem bigger than it actually is. If anything, the dependency on a single tool would create a problem to use others.
I think the closest to a disappointment is Skyrim, but it's not the game's fault. I was always looking forward to it. I love the non-linear role-play experience in a rich open world. I watched plenty of Let's Plays. For some reason it took me a long time to get to it. But when I finally got to play it, I realized that the first-person 3D movement in this game made me dizzy and unwell to the point I couldn't continue. I had this problem with some other games, too, but not to this extent. I might give it another try at some point. But maybe something like World of Anterra scratches that itch better.
An honorable mention is Planescape: Torment. I liked it, but having played Disco Elysium first, the writing and story in this game felt over-hyped.
From what I've seen, casual users didn't have problems with the casual tasks in the terminal, but with some hot mess behavior of CachyOS, e.g. how the Python update was handled.
A little bit off-topic, but I don't know if I'm too dumb to understand the survey results' presentation or if there is something wrong.
- Why is SteamOS Holo excluded in the Linux list when the table is unfiltered, while in the "Linux only" filtered table it seems to be the most popular OS with 23.83%?
- For the Arch-based distros, e.g. Steam OS Holo (+23.83%) or Arch Linux (+9.07%), the "change" is exactly the value of the current "percentage", so the percentage of the compared value is 0. So I guess they have new entries in the data without the history of the old entries? Is there any explanation for that?
Am I missing something? And does it even say anywhere how many people were asked and participated in the survey?
