My thoughts exactly. It’s like the TV equivalent of a gym membership.

People who refuse to exercise critical thinking skills, which is a terrifying percentage of the population.

Dell and Lenovo both sell Chromebooks, which technically run a variant of Linux. Those laptops are especially popular in schools.

It’s smart investment on their part and broadens their options longer term.

All in all a net positive on all fronts.

I know there’s some clowns out there who think it’s morally wrong as in “sinful” but I do wonder if some of those were people worried about the murkiness of whether exploitation was involved in the making of some films.

I’m not against porn but I have heard the above argument, and those folks would be okay with, say, literotica and independent sex workers.

Can’t say I’d personally touch it lmao but if you’re happy with it, then that’s all that matters 😄

The best distro is obviously:

Now we wait for them to be put in car headlights.

Training data based on actual programmers/engineers lmao

Ah yes, the thing I’m most concerned about giving me cancer: toast.

Not the microplastics, environmental pollution or stress of living in the collapse of modern civilization 🫠 /s

De-Bea-an could be the next Hannah Montana Linux

Yay Europe! Genuinely happy for you folks.

Maybe someday we’ll have freedom and privacy in the US :’)

Could be a translation thing (since Hamtaro is originally Japanese iirc), or it could just be they didn’t really think that much of it since it’s a cartoon game from the early 2000s.

That’s just where she hangs out between levels/progress points.

Kinda like how humans will lay on their front and sometimes have their feet up.

It’s not new either. Iirc certain books were fully banned in Boston (amongst other places) up until the mid-20th century.

A country founded on bass-ackwards puritans hellbent on making others suffer isn’t going to magically lose that DNA. Just remember they got kicked out of England because they were antisocial controlling assholes, not because they were “persecuted.”

You eventually collect unique ham-chats as you progress, and there’s a little table off to the right where you can “fill out a form” then talk to the delivery hamster to “send in to a contest.”

I forget what the reward is, though.

This is precisely why oligarchs are trying to clamp down on these tools.

It’s not for “the children.” It’s for their protection, or so they think.

If I didn’t have to use it a handful of times a year for work I’d have wiped my windows drive and extended my Linux storage. Alas.

I feel for the folks who can’t afford a second drive to dual boot.

Endeavour was the one I actually installed to my drive some years ago after spinning up a handful of “classic” recommended distros in a VM (Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc).

It was recommended to me by a close family member who had used Linux for a while, but we’re both in IT/tech.

My SO, on the other hand, while quite intelligent and capable of troubleshooting absolutely detests having to touch the CLI or open their PC tower.

It heavily depends on the end user and what they want to do, not just what they’re capable of. Frustration isn’t limited to incapability.

Kind of. Scaling back your calorie intake while getting enough macro/micronutrients is a tricky balance, but doable (if you’re going from a very high weight to something in a middle body mass range).

AI Agent = LLM, or fancy autocorrect chatbot

Lands PRs = is successful with pull requests: successfully gets generated code added to software projects.

OSS Projects: Open Source Software. Software that has its code publicly available.

Targets Maintainers: seeks out humans who write and regularly update the original code

Via Cold Outreach: relentlessly spams without prior network connections. Basically plays a digital door-to-door sales technique, using a numbers game of 100 “no”s to 1 “yes.”

Quick translate: Slop bot harasses human programmers into allowing poorly generated/formatted code into important software projects.
