The Man with the REDACTED_INFORMATION

  • [Serious] What's your hot take?

    Jump

  • What do you mean, like insults or if someone really insults you with a phobic term?

    Unless you annoy or anger the person first, then sure I'd get it if they were big an asshole. But if it's a retort, then maybe don't start insult wars you can't win.

  • Tea versus Coffee

    Jump

  • Straight to the point, I like it! Programming sucks out your soul!

  • Linux in the military

    Jump

  • I ask because using the funni penguin kernel in a weapons grade equipment is funny

  • Open-Source Video Editor 'OpenShot' Gets 'Game-Changer' Update

    Jump

  • ShotCut Enjoyer vs Average OpenShot Goblin

    But yeah seriously I found it to be the better and more intuitive tool to use.

  • Linux geeks cheer as Arm wrestles x86 • The Register

    Jump

  • Does this possibly mean the end of x86 or will it be a coexisting scenario?

    I still believe that as much as some people bark on about, X86 will not die for a long time, it will still keep kicking for some time.

  • What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?

    Jump

  • If I'm not mistaken Nestlé, the firm that makes various brands of chocolate, are known or at least have been known to include slavery in really poor parts of the world.

    When I look at a bottle or a cuddly packaged bit of chocolate, I shudder to think the shit conditions that a person, a child even was forced or on crap pay to produce that from the cocoa farming..

  • What is your favourite shell to use

    Jump

  • Because pepperoni rocks

  • Intel 'Sierra Forest' Xeon Server CPUs

    Jump

  • I did hear that they're killing off hyper threading which is a bummer but I guess those P cores would make up for it.

  • Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

    Jump

  • Didn't HP sell some fancy shmancy laptops that came with Ubuntu or some flavor of it? Think it was for developers but I thought that was the closest we gotten to commercially selling Linux based machines.

    P.S. I could be wrong about this but I am sure this happened.

  • Me cat

    Jump

  • Nah, he's a pretty chill cat and from observing, is open to strangers. I live in a cul de sac area and the neighbours sometimes along the way take a bit of time petting him.

    He's one smooth cat I tell you.

  • Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen

    Jump

  • I don't bother using things like Copilot or other AI tools like ChatGPT. I mean, they're pretty cool what they CAN give you correctly and the new demo floored me in awe.

    But, I prefer just using the image generators like DALL E and Diffusion to make funny images or a new profile picture on steam.

    But this example here? Good god I hope this doesn't become the norm..

  • My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

    Jump

  • The problem is mate is that not all games have native Linux versions, If FIFA 17 were on steam, you could use proton on it but I believe it isn't.

    It just comes with the territory of Linux that some games are windows only and can be finicky.

    Minecraft however, should run fine on potato machines and with Linux, should have a native port you can install from say Flatpak.

    When moving to the penguin train, he needs to write down what software and games he wants to use, and what might be omitted due to compatibility issues.

    If the man wants to use Windows, let him be, he might reconsider in future about trying Mint again or another distro like Kubuntu.

  • What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

    Jump

  • Tying a tie for meetings, interviews etc.

    I've always had issues trying to do myself from "my angle" if you know what I mean, I've always worn light blue or grayish dress shirts without the tie to interviews, or I'd just leave the tie spaced out so I can shrink it again when I got around my neck.

    Still trying to get the hang of it!

  • Which one do you prefer? htop, btop or top?

    Jump

  • I am a chad htop enjoyer, I find btop and other alternatives too much on the eyes for me personally and HTOP has enough info for me to take a look at in terms of system resources.

    Either that or I just use the regular gnome GUI system monitor lol

  • What are your thoughts on Flatpak/Flathub?

    Jump

  • I prefer Flatpaks because it's a nice easy way of getting software without the chance of broken or missing dependencies for a program.

    Much better than Snaps, snaps is flatpaks but MUCH worse and slower.
