Been using Linux off and on since 2003-ish. I remember the days of having to compile applications and having to download various dependencies. Linux now is so streamlined and easy. Minus gentoo.

Wait, did you write an actual function for that graph?

What about the issue of, the more accessible private browsing and messaging has become, the harder it has become to track down child porn producers.

The single example of a possible positive outcome? I remember when this happened, they made a big deal about it, however it may not have had that much of a positive effect. You know the void left to be filled with someone as bad or worse. https://www.cnn.com/2016/04/27/middleeast/egypt-how-we-got-here/index.html

I mean, what if “we” just stop using various social media platforms all together? I remember the days when various people never really shared their opinions and beliefs about most topics to the general public. Maybe we should get back to face to face conversations about life topics.

No script breaks so much of the internet. But I guess over time you can make enough rules with it that it mostly works.

Now that you say this, I’m not afraid they may make all banking transactions go through truth social or x.

Sad, one of my classes I really relied on Chegg to help me through the homework.

Not denying that. But maybe we should accept that photos and memes and whatnot aren’t that valuable and limit their size or the volume allowed per user. Just a thought.

Is file hosting really a must? I mean Reddit and feddit are basically forums. And not many forums allow file uploads. Also, we should have retention limits. Low value posts are allowed to fade away. High value posts that have some level of interaction stay alive longer.

Oh… yeah I see the issue.

What is so hated about snaps? I’ll admit I haven’t used Ubuntu since they started using snaps, but I don’t understand the hate about them in the Linux community.

At least you aren’t having to manage your windows install. I feel for corporate IT departments having to figure out how to disable so much and still keep the OS running.

Yeah, I know it’s a pipe dream, but really, there should be something that opens source code up. Too much company history gets lost or forgotten because people forget. Plus think about how much value you can gain as a student seeing how people accomplished things with minimal resources.

Man, I had a vtech “computer” as a kid in the later 90’s. I don’t remember what happened to it or what it was even actually good for.

Pretty sure this is what I had.

Will we need to move to a subscription service?

It would probably be more controversial if Linus had given more professional commentary.

I prefer thunderf00t

No one is good with bad audio. My wife did some transcription work for a little while, it can be pretty painful, especially for doctors, and all the medical terms.

I really feel like the source code needs to be released after 25 years. We need to be able to protect older games.
