“What are we? China?”

Why do they pretend they didn’t create mass surveillance and data collection.

The fact that every computer has a browser where they can practice javascript probably makes it the better option. Python would probably require, on Windows, some setup that isn’t what you want to spend time on, and may be a barrier to them trying stuff on their own time at home.

The Great Firewall of China FREEDOM

It’s okay when it’s OUR backdoor, it’s not okay when it’s their speculative backdoor.

I know they are trying but so far it seems the ad-blockers are winning because I’ve not noticed any interruptions or problems with comments so far.

Worker regulations mostly. Since drivers aren’t employees, they get no benefits whatsoever.

If it works I expect it to be popular. A lot of people don’t actually want to engage with videogames and would rather zombie through the experience

What made the Japanese surrender was the Soviet Union declaring war. They held out hope until the very end that the soviets would mediate a peace, even after the nukes.

High-ranking General: “Show me how to defeat my enemies”

Artificial “Inteligence”: Just nuke them lmao

Mostly programming (when my day job hasn’t drained me of all the energy) and the usual stuff you’d only really do on a desktop and not on a phone, like documents, light image editing and spreadsheets, nothing fancy.

Thanks for the reply! I always nuke the main drive whenever reinstalling anyway so the home folder is not a problem. I guess since you did the same switch as I’m thinking of (and yes, PopOS gave me some headaches I never imagined I’d have in this day and age) I’ll probably follow your recommendation.

Maybe it is, but almost every time someone does anything other than game they usually are steered away from it.

I was under the impression that their aggressive pruning of things usually used for workstation tasks would hamper a sane use of it. From what I’ve gathered they even removed the usual python bins that come with most linux distros these days, as an example.

I don’t really mind at this point, if I’m installing from a package repo of some sorts I prefer using the terminal anyway. It’s mostly if I’m downloading something from the browser that I’d like to be able to just double click, but it’s not a big deal anyway.

No, AAs are crap. Charge your stuff when you go to sleep and you’ll never have problems.

I thought that, since users would be different between machines, there’s no point in keeping this kind of information.

I just assumed that whenever it would be expanded that the contents would have the default permissions for that user.

It’s actually a cool feature I just feel dumb for how long it took me to realize this was the issue.

Good content won’t be recommended to you unfortunately.

This hurts review channels and similar but it wouldn’t hurt other kinds of video (unless people want summaries of fun videos?)

It’s not about Linus specifically. Many other channels (with actual good content) have been experiencing the same. Creators are assuming it has to do with restricted mode, but I’m not sure it’s convincing, it probably has more to do with algorithmic changes youtube has made.
