  • Most normies I know watch YouTube with ads already. I sadly don't think this will put much of a dent in YouTube.

  • Couldn't it, though? 🤔

    IANAD and AFAIU, not in kernel mode. Things like trying to read non existing memory in kernel mode are supposed to crash the system because continuing could be worse.

    Understanding Linux and choosing your first Linux distro, v2.0

    Jump

  • It's huge. I've been using ~10 distros sporadically over the past 25 years, and I never ever felt like I could depend on my systems running Linux. Because one simple mistake by either me or an update could render the computer unusable because I didn't (and still don't) know how to fix it. And that was always something that finally happened that made me revert to Windows full time. Tumbleweed is the first distro ever where I feel like I'm standing on solid ground instead of on a house of cards that I can't put back together, because of the snapshots. It gives me confidence and I feel like I finally can use Linux while slowly learning it at my own pace. Absolutely love it.

    Also, I see that I have a typo to fix in my previous comment lol.

  • Totally agree with that. I'm just wondering how many people read things like welcome screens etc where such info usually is presented.

    They should have all necessary software installed and configured for people to easily get to things like those you mentioned. And have a clear help section in the OS, preferably with sections for different large topics and what not, that links to forum sections or similar. Steer them right before they even hit the web sort of.

  • Mushroom Guides

  • I especially like this part:

    Disulfiram has, however, been known to cause myocardial infarction (heart attack). The symptoms can occur if even a small amount of alcohol is consumed up to three days after eating the mushrooms, although they are milder as more time passes. Rarely, a cardiac arrhythmia, such as atrial fibrillation on top of supraventricular tachycardia, may develop. Because of these effects, in some cases, the mushroom has been used to cure alcoholism.

    Everything about that is wild.

  • I think immutable distros could be great for newbies, but I'm just thinking they're still so new that if you go online to look for Linux advice or help, most things you'll find are very much not for immutables and I doubt a true newbie understands what's what.

    That's also a reason I'd recommend something like Debian (although I've actually never even used it myself) because there's so much compatible info out there. I would recommend OpenSUSE, even Tumbleweed, but there's just not as much help or there to find as there is for Debian. But even with that said, OpenSUSEs snapshots and the way they're configured out of the box is an absolute godsend and game changer for newcomers.

  • MAGA world is really mad that Trump is no longer running against Biden

  • they can't find common ground on anything but being anti-democrat.

    Sadly that's all that's needed in a first past the post system that has boiled down to two parties. It's only tribalism at this point.

  • Right-wingers don't believe in underlying causes. Drug problems are the fault of the drugs themselves and/or a character flaw of the lazy good for nothing users. They always just want to put a useless bandaid on the symptom. The world is too complex for them to handle.

  • With the powers that be, I wonder how much he could have gotten done with actually fixing America. He'd be blocked everywhere by everyone with power, hell he might even have had an "accident", or caught a bullet outright.
