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.
The difference is that people that are in other operating systems already know that you can do that. You don’t have to tell them.
That the start menu has a search bar. You would think that everyone would know this after almost 2 decades, but too many people still navigate through their computers like it’s 1998.
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’ve seen a bunch of ads on Facebook where it’s a deepfake of either Elon or Mr Beast. Just goes to show that Meta doesn’t give a fuck and will let anything through if you pay them.
Following in porn’s footsteps I see. Can’t pause a video without getting an ad shoved in front of your face.
Think of AI like computers and spreadsheet software in the early 80s. I bet a lot of accountants were pretty freaked out about what this new technology was going to mean for their jobs.
Did technology replace those accountants? No, but companies probably didn’t need as many accountants as they did before. AI will likely reduce the number of programmers that a company needs, but it won’t eliminate them
Ask an LLM to explain a joke. It often won’t understand why a joke is funny, but that won’t stop it from trying to give you an explanation.
The sounds your computer would make if it was connecting to dialup Internet, or the sound you would hear if someone was using said dialup and you picked up the phone.
PC speakers and how they differed from regular speakers, or the fact that you needed a sound card if you wanted sound that wasn’t just beeps.
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.
Microsoft’s YouTube app didn’t show ads, and that was Google’s gripe with them.
Those tiles completely failed at doing the one thing they were supposed to do, which was giving you information at a glance. Far too often, it would show you information that was outdated and no longer relevant.
I hope for your sake that your name isn’t Jack.
