What's the point of these Linux youtubers?I just watched this bald dude for the first time and he's literally trying out Linux isos, clicking some shit and "reviewing" the icons and the 3-4 apps that come preinstalled with the distro. Zero useful information. It's fucking retarded.Who would waste their time watching some bored NEET clicking shit?
>>107526284Its one of many goyslop linux tech channels.Atleast with Luke Smith he was entertaining, that is until he got retard pilled with (((muh esoteric orthodoxy))).
>>107530954He lives in chicago, they all take bbc in the ass there.
>>107526284I found his Emacs stuff pretty interesting and it gave me ideas for my own setup.
distrolube spends the 30 dollars he makes in adsense every month on new bbc dildos and assorted flavored lubricants. to quench his oral fixation, of course.

>As of 2022, people are uploading 500 hours of content to YouTube every minute. That's adding about 1250 days' worth of videos every hour, or about 82 years of content a dayThat's a lot of slop. And 99% of it won't be watched by anyone ever.

>>107532176people keep saying how google's ai is "winning" but i just remember the start with manipulation like pic related and will automatically reject google's ai. whatever it's used for it can't be trusted.other companies probably manipulate their ai as well but it was so blatantly obvious with google that i have no interest in them.
>>107531651this. I would be concerned for any business that makes their money through hosting content, given the infinite slop wave.

I'm on Debian stable. How often should I apt update and upgrade?
>>107501799you sound like a whiny bitch lmao, i hope you continue to suffer on jeetdows
>>107526221Just install heroic flatpak and put game folders in/home/username/Games/Heroic folderGames should just work.Though you need to be aware that the difference between steam vs heroic is that steam automatically installs visual redist runtime dlls, directx dlls like d3dcompiler_47 that are necessary for DXVK with DX11 to work properly. Most games dont need any special installs in the prefix but some do and if you're not using steam, you have to install it yourself on heroic. For example binding of issac rebirth needs openAL DLL specifically to work under proton. Stalker anomaly needs d3dcompiler_47 for DX11 support as well as 2015-2022 visual redist.I think bottles comes closest because they have a gaming focused prefix option that installs all the stuff normal games would need but bottles doesn't have a GUI for game images like heroic
>>107532095As often as any other distro for security patches. I'd update once a week at a bare minimum.
>>107532034>>107532042>but i see now you said you're using mint. sorry anon.All good, nonny.I only have one computer at the moment, and I'd prefer to just stick to one OS or the other. I don't mind going in raw and figuring things out as I go, though. I think the biggest thing for me would be making a habit out of using timeshift and learning how to navigate Mint directories. I mostly just want to make my computer look pretty and maybe run some old games on the side.I'm playing with gimp right now, and it's not as complicated as I thought. I think I can get used to this.

C does this. C++ does this. Rust does this. Python does this. Perl does this. Powershell does this. Bash does this. Cobol does this.Lisp is just particularly useful for metaprogramming, which most programmers do not see the need for, because the only times they would use metaprogramming is if their libs did not already solve those metaprogramming problems for them (for example, React's JSX would be trivially implemented in a Lisp).

>>107529831>the main purpose is to enable undercover agents(...)This excuse is obviously false and ridiculous. I'm just a jobless loser and without thinking much I can give you less suspicious ways for them to communicate than using Tor:They own a website that looks normal and legit, like a small forum about video games, which is really that, but which real purpose is to be a hidden way to communicate. They purposely enter three wrong passwords to login to that forum, which looks totally innocent, the websites just displays "wrong password", but server-side something happens, this username entering these three particular wrong passwords had a meaning. The "fake" website sends the "translated signal" home. Perfectly not suspicious.Variant: the three wrong passwords on that username makes the website display a different page than usual, a hidden chat page, with document uploading features and all, so the agent can communicate directly. It works only once though, so if the enemy tries it again, the website just displays "wrong password".Another idea is to post a comment on something like a certain youtube video. There were several predetermined comments, all looking perfectly normal but with each a hidden meaning.

How much would you pay for a mint condition X230 with coreboot and the classic keyboard mod?
