onlinepersona, to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?

I recognise those acronyms. They are from a bygone era my ancestors used to mention to me in hushed tones.

It BSOD’ed its last screen.

Fuck that OS.

Until the kernel updates to something unsupported and you find out that they don’t keep old kernels in the rolling release. An amazing experience.

Why not move to NixOS?

awesome?

onlinepersona, to privacy in I deleted my google accounts today

OAuth? Do you mean 2FA? OAuth just requires you to be able to open a URL so all you need a browser. (see the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth#/media/File:Abstract-flow.png)

onlinepersona, to piracy in Piracy even when I can get it legally

I concur. Streaming isn’t an option for everybody. Paid services removing the option to download thus force all those people who can’t stream, to pirate. They create the problem and provide no legal solution 🤷

Sail!

(We need some piracy memes with this)

Both are inferior to IDEs when working locally on a software project 🤷

onlinepersona, to piracy in [Louis Rossmann] Piracy is COMPLETELY justified: Louis tries NetFlix and remembers why

Pirates have known this for decades. Buy DRMed media means you can lose access to it at any time. And these subscription services that limit access for paid services e.g as soon as you travel, access to certain stuff is lost, sometimes the access to the entire service is lost. Additionally, for some reason, pirated stuff often has better quality than paid stuff - it’s something I cannot fathom.

It was possible to get pirated 4k stuff as soon as it was released years ago, but most paid services couldn’t provide that. The biggest reason being you couldn’t buffer it. It only buffers a few seconds and then stops. Pirated stuff can be downloaded ahead of time and watched without buffering on a shit connection.

Fuck Netflix. What I hated most about them was they decided during the pandemic that too many people were watching stuff at 1080p, so they dropped the quality of streams to 720p. Lol. A great way to get people to pirate.

onlinepersona, to linux in THUNDERBIRD: the SUCCESS STORY of LINUX! - 6.4M in Donations

Hopefully they’ll build in support for disroot, fastmail, posteo, protonmail, tutanota, and other opensource encrypted mail agends that don’t provide a bridge.

Edit: so the summary of the video is “marketing”. Linux, KDE, and opensource projects in general need way better marketing. If Linux could rebrand itself as anything but “the geek thing”, I bet it would be much more successful.

The dude on the right is some neckbeard who yells “RTFM” and “i use Arch btw ;)” IRL.

A vim user finding nano too difficult? Impressive.
