Dave Plumber is pretty damned objective.

Admittance of ‘all eyes on code’ being bullshit.

Wars are fought with propaganda. This war isn’t special.

VLC is heavily bloated with features you need a guide to use (may as well use a command line tool if you need to refer to a guide every time). It crashes (or did about 2 years ago) some of our Linux systems. MPV spanks the piss out of it.

Awesome for being a free tool, but it pales in comparison to Photoshop.

I wouldn’t know any differences, as I wasn’t using Linux back when sxiv stopped being developed.

DWM, Newsboat, MPV, NSXIV

Block the bootloader from updating, use LTS kernel for stability. Checking Arch’s page didn’t work for me, btw. I ended up switching to Fedora because I was hit by every breakage (4 in a row), LTS kernel didn’t work with my ethernet, and ethernet broke after an update. -Some people have great luck and some don’t.

Carnac the Magnificent!

Same way you’d learn to use your smartphone. -Why do we see this stupid question constantly?

As much as I hate Go ogle, it is up to us to choose. -Sad part is all but Yandex is burying the same information as Go ogle it seems.

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean others don’t \ or that it doesn’t exist.

A win-win.

Youtube shadow banned raw footage and promoted heavily narrated and edited clips of that footage. -Directly responsible for riots and civil unrest. While I agree about the anti-vax nonsense; youtube / google need to be exposed for what they are doing.

That didn’t stop the circle-jerking, romanticism, and ignorance of the sub’s participants, or the ridiculous and inordinate amount of positive and negative karma coming from subs about weevils, for example. Easy karma just for posting ‘aww lawd, here we go again’ in r/bedbugs. Post a pic of a steak in r/steaks with ‘cast iron’ and ‘reverse sear’ and get easy karma too. - Post the same steak or even a much better one with ‘tri-clad / air fryer’ and get nothing. -First-hand experience with a crappy AI generated steak and one I put in an air fryer for 25 minutes at 180F before finishing in a tri-clad. -Edge to edge medium looking better than 99% of theirs. -lol. (The karma system is shit)

I’ve been learning to control the outrage, and figuring out ways to turn things around. It’s like my time with conspiracy theories helped me to discern bullshit, fact check, be objective, etc.

I felt it was enough to hint that.-lol Criticism of alternatives being too much like Reddit hasn’t been well received.

Reddit was never a place to go to for facts. Reddit has always hated facts.

No, that’s called mooching. Freeloader.

There are no unions in self employment. I recommend you stop leeching off others and try working for your self.
