Oh. I only feel enlightened about anus.

I am clueless as to what it is doing in a medieval combat manual.

The most I can rationalise is that the author had a bout of frustration, and the manual was the only outlet for their thoughts.

Thank you for enlightening me.

I zoomed in on the picture, and the first thing I see is the word “anus”.

I could be misreading it, but what other letter could it possibly be.

What a weird thing to argue.

It doesn’t matter whether the list is part of the video or whether it was created by PewDiePie.

The list, in the screenshot of OP, is garbage.

Besides, the same screenshot is of a video that shows the list along with the name of the channel and the video title (which correlates with other news of the creator releasing an anti-Google video). So the list, for all purposes of this discussion, is part of the video.

Doesn’t matter if it is his list nor did I ever say it was garbage because it is his.

It is garbage, objectively.

Your comment made me look at the list again. I didn’t even realise Brave is located at the very top.

Also, why is “not ideal for a normal human” at the middle of the list?

Garbage, indeed.

Putting Cromite at the bottom most tier makes me discard the entire thing.

Indeed it is. :-)

Also, your comment made me realise that I mistyped asses in my original comment!

Going to leave it there for the sweet sweet irony. :D

I am an ardent believer in it, given how many times it has saved our assets at work, often to the point of annoying people. That said, I usually end up being right for insisting on more time and/or data, so it’s all good.

However, my spoonerific brain always gets this twisted to “measure once, cut twice”.

I unknowingly wrote this once in a comment about asking for more metrics during a design review.

My colleague (the author of said design document) replied with the relevant metrics and a comment saying “measure never, cut forever”. :D

Looks like Java finally has company in the exclusive 3 billion club

MATE has been on most of my machines, except the BSD ones.

But past year or so, I have grown a fondness towards ctwm, and gradually migrated my machines to it, Linux and BSD alike.

It is not a DE, but the fact that I have to assemble my suite of software myself on my machines, makes the point of using DEs moot.

Sub.club seems similar to your description, though it shut down recently.

Having (re)started using IRC recently, I can see it being a good alternative. But more accessible options like Matrix and Discourse are being overlooked.

The rampant use of Discord in FLOSS project is really disheartening. To join yet another Discord channel to receive any kind of support or discussions around the project, is off-putting.

So is Alacritty, Kitty, Wezterm, and even iTerm.

The README’s About section[0] sheds no light on what sets Ghostty apart from the competition, while using vague terms and marketing hyperboles.

I haven’t used Windows for more than a decade, and I am genuinely surprised reading your post that the game works in this manner even if with proton/wine layer.

I can’t help but think that this is an exception, and would attribute this behaviour to how the game is made. I wonder what other software function this way.

Pentium II and 160MB RAM are plentiful, and it is no surprise that NetBSD is a breeze to use on it.

I got NetBSD running on a ThinkPad 760XD (Pentium MMX, 32MB RAM) which I revived around last summer, and it works just fine. Though running emacs on it is not a smooth experience with my configuration loaded, but it runs well vanilla. With enough tweaking, it can be a capable writing machine, especially with its flip-up keyboard.

The blog post is really good and insightful. I have never considered connecting aforementioned machine to the internet, but I think I might do it after reading this post just to try out Dillo.

Most of the criticism I have seen online stems from how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) plays fast and loose with the FLOSS ethos. The earliest controversy I can recall was the inclusion of the ‘Amazon shopping lens’ in its Unity desktop environment. There may have been earlier issues, but this one made mainstream headlines in the early 2010s. More recently, the push for Snap (its application bundle format), which relies on proprietary server-side components, which invited criticism.

That said, I still find the OS ideal for most users. It has been (and still is) a gateway OS for many Windows and macOS refugees, thanks to its strong community. It was for me nearly two decades ago, and I prefer to remember Ubuntu for the good it has done for the community.

With so many opportunities presented to it, Mastodon still hasn’t found its footing with the mainstream audience.

I think its users should accept the platform will remain a niche for the foreseeable future.

Thanks. This works. I fully agree with comments made. I still have not found Mastodon intuitive to use daily as I find Lemmy.
