Its basically illegal to be young. I don't think this is going to change anything. Kids are on the internet because they cant legally express being anything but a minor until they're a third through their life. They're constantly monitored, censored, and scrutinized. I think large tech corps are exploiting a real need kids have to participate. Sometimes ::tin foil hat:: I believe this is by design. Thanks for coming to my tedx talk.

I feel you. Ive been going through this loop over and pver again. Ive landed on the fedora based Universal Blue for this reason. Bluefin for my desktop and bazzite for my gaming PCs. Sometimes you just want your system to be stable and get out of your way and i really appreciate thay about fedora.

This! I remember watching king kong (1933) and abbot and costello meet Frankenstein (1948) with my Grandmother as a small child. These movies predate her but she loved growing up with these things.

The era doesn't really matter as time for humans on this earth is actually very short. It's not about what you watch, it is about who you share it with.

How about Bari Weiss?

Literally TODAY someone I know installed an application called "PDF viewer for android" that had a green adobe icon and it started wrecking absolute havoc on their phone with pop ads and redirects to scam support sites.

The AppStore is full of this shit.

Digital Piracy is a moral imperative. Approved

All your icons should not be the same two three four colors. It gets harder to distinguish one app from another. It all becomes noise functionally.

Bazzite/bluefin so Fedora silverblue 😂

Does it work without a subscription?

Mom and Pop NYC landlords. I immediately want to balk at this statement but then I remembered two things. Firstly I remember "How to with Jon Wilson". He made an episode about buying the house from his landlord and that the only way to pay for it was to turn it into a rental property. His landlord was an old lady who wanted to move out.

Secondly, I remember meeting a couple who sold a brownstone before the pandemic, moved to Montclair NJ, and then purchased a home and turned their second floor into an apartment.

Do mom and pop landlords exist? Yes. Are they opportunistic? I don't think those single family homes should be allowed to be turned into apartments. I've seen some pretty heinous abuses of some people essentially turning a closet and a hallway into a "studio".

Maybe "Mom and Pop" landlords shouldn't exist.

The writing of this article was not the quality I would have preferred. The infotainment angle really makes it feel like their data can't be trusted. With that being said,

"as long as you have a distro with an up to date kernel and the latest Mesa drivers your out of box experience won’t vary much at all."

This is actually a greater challenge for the average user than they think it is. Its also why the universal Blue project exists. Using the OCI container model for the OS, they can easily upgrade and customize the kernel, drivers, and even upgrade to entire new versions of Fedora without batting an eye. This is the main reason I've switched over to Bazzite. The pain of updating is gone. Also, most images have the "-nvidia" version which alleviates the headaches of maintaining your Nvidia drivers.

Rant: If anything, this article shows that the nuances of the FOSS ecosystem is lost on them because they're afraid of strange elitists imaginary neck beard criticizing them? I understand this is for comedic effect but it feels sophomoric and hacky; like they've missed the point. I would ask them to follow Jorge Castro a bit and understand the work he's doing is specifically to make Linux for everyone else.

TBH they will be the last publication to come around to it. As Microsoft leaves us all no real choice in the matter, the future of the PC hobbyist is Linux, weather they like it or not so they need to stop complaining and start contributing.
