I used to enjoy listening to him on YouTube simply because he didn’t yell in his videos like every other YouTuber. He had a bit of a Bob Ross vibe to him, but then he went off the deep end.

I wonder if she’s the reason why I received a 1099 tax form from Uber earlier this year, even though I’ve never driven for them.
I was in the same boat. Windows 10 was buggy as shit when it first came out, and I thought it was ugly and void of personality (still do). That’s when I committed to using Linux full time and haven’t looked back.
There’s very few people that hear about Linux and then switch over the next day. It’s something that needs to fester in your head for a while. I didn’t start using Linux full time until like a decade after I tried it for the first time
Let’s use Tor Browser as an example since that’s one of the programs that typically gets installed with a tarball. Once you’ve downloaded and extracted the tarball, you’ll want to navigate to the extracted files. You can do this in the terminal using CD commands, but I think it’s easier and a little more intuitive to just use your file manager and navigate to the folder that way. Once you’re in the correct folder, you’ll want to right click on an empty space and select “open and terminal.” Now you’ll have a terminal open and it will already be in the correct directory. From here you’ll want to run the “start-tor-browser.desktop” script. To do this, simply type ./start-tor-browser.desktop and you’ll be able to follow along from there.
Running programs from a Tar image typically involves running a script. You just have to change the name of the script to match whatever they have in the directory. Auto complete is your friend here. You don’t have to actually type the entire name of the script, you only need to type the first few letters and then hit tab.
A tar file is similar to a ZIP file. The easiest way to uncompress them is by using your file manager and right clicking.
Problem is is that is that too many people insist on doing things the Windows way and they get frustrated because of it. For example, instead of going to the software center, they choose to download their programs from a website, even though that’s not how you’re supposed to do it most of the time. They’ll also spend hours trying to get Windows only programs to run, when there are alternatives available that work just as well.
I always thought the K in KDE just stood for KDE.
Every time I see that “this incident will be reported” message, I picture some poor schmuck in a cubicle getting pulled into the boss’s office and interrogated for two hours about why they tried to run a command as sudo.
I don’t think I’ve ever used Ubuntu for more than a month. I just don’t like the way it looks, how locked down everything is, and how hard it is to customize.
Wouldn’t work because if you live in an apartment, then your neighbors are going to skew the numbers. There’s no way for them to know if the guy who lives on the floor above you is in your apartment or theirs.
There used to be a video store near me that had a 444 deal. You could rent four movies for four days for four dollars.
Plasma has gone from being one of the worst DEs (slow, buggy, kind of ugly) to being the absolute best in a really short amount of time.
Plasma just has killer features that other desktops just don’t have, like KDE connect and the encrypted vaults. Sure you can get those things on other desktops, but they’re not built in and they’re nowhere near as seamless. Plus KDE apps in general are just better.
LLMs need to get better at saying “I don’t know.” I would rather an LLM admit that it doesn’t know the answer instead of making up a bunch of bullshit and trying to convince me that it knows what it’s talking about.
