I prefer “siphoned”

What do you mean? I get my news from John Fox and Peter Newsmaxx

Supply line disruptions

Why is it better than just using nano or whatever?

I use KDE, and I put a sticky note widget on my top bar, so when you click it, it drops down (and then disappears when you click off of it). Whatever is on it is saved between sessions.

Works great for this kind of thing.

Edit: I also put a webbrowser widget up there that points to this handy site: https://linuxcommandlibrary.com/

Same deal, click the icon and the site drops down.

Put it in your butt

Despite some similarities, the demographics in the US are just a completely different beast.

Our Christians are insane. Fox News has poisoned the minds of potentially hundreds of millions of Americans. American exceptionalism and the lie of “the American dream” has irrevocably cooked the collective minds of essentially our entire population.

Are you annoyed that they didn’t try to replicate it, or that they’re disparaging LLMs?

with a catchy name clearly thought up by a marketing person

A marketing person? They took “Netflix” and changed the first three letters lol

yt-dlp?

I was thinking that a lot of them are too young to even know what those are… My thought was that they’ve been raised on GUI for everything, without being able to tinker even if they wanted to, that the entire concept of CLI is alien to them.

You don’t need to be into tech stuff. You can do everything in CLI that you can do in GUI (but not necessarily vice-versa). Just because you are better with visual shit doesn’t mean that either approach is “right” or “wrong.”

This is ultimately why I switched from Arch… Now I’ve just got an Arch distrobox and if it breaks, no big deal.

Sounds like a win/win if they no longer come to you for troubleshooting

The reason I had no problem whatsoever editing config files is because I’d been doing it for decades already in Windows with .ini files.

And not needing a terminal is different than not having access to one. Windows has a terminal.

If laptops started coming pre-installed with Linux Mint…

This is exactly how I felt when I switched to Linux and it “clicked”.

This is what personal computers were supposed to always be like before Capitalism ruined it for everyone.

Buy… Software? You what?

Oh word… I tried MPV briefly but didn’t like it as much as vlc

I wish MPC had a linux version. One of the few pieces of Windows-only software (along with foobar2000) that I actually miss.

A few months back I decided to fuck around and see if I could get it working in wine, and it seemed to work OK, but pretty jank. Too jank to consider seriously using.
