If the article sounds interesting, I’ll read it, although I usually skim articles these days.

I use DDG but I’m always open to alternatives.

These sound extremely historical lol

I use Ubuntu because it’s the most popular and well-supported.

I’m going to be switching to Mint at some point because it’s basically a community-run fork of Ubuntu and I don’t trust Canonical anymore, but it’s hard to justify installing my OS from scratch considering I’ve been using Ubuntu since 2017.

I recently ordered a Thinkpad T14 Gen1 with an R7 4750U, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD and you better believe I’m going to be putting Mint on that as soon as I get it.

Technically yes, you’d have to find an exploit for your TV that allows for installing your own OS.

It’s not super feasible but it’s technically possible.

I’d say start with some of the most popular games, like Mario and Pokemon. Those are the two biggest video game franchises in the world, they’re very accessible and even decades later still a ton of fun.

edit: FWIW, Nintendo is a problematic video game company and trying to destroy video game preservation of their games (and trying to prevent community-run video game competitions/tournaments of their games), but they still have made some of the best video games of all time.

Okay, I’ll bite. How is y’all not the problematic part when it’s specifically referring to trans people in that case?

That certainly seems problematic to me.

It’s a shame, I wanted to like KBin because it’s PHP and I specialize in PHP (also JS and Java), but the maintainer just made sure that it wasn’t sustainable.

It will be interesting to see which one wins out, like how Lemmy won out vs kbin/mbin, since kbin never accepted any outside help and stopped contributing. Not really putting the open in open-source that way, IMO.

Yes, something like that would work. The stock OS would still be on the TV but as long as you don’t connect the TV to WiFi it should be fine.

Congrats! That sounds like actually meaningful work.

That’s awesome news, congrats!

Wow, that’s kind of a lot more Linux than I was expecting, but it also makes sense. Pretty cool tbh.

Wow, 2 interviews in 11 months is rough. Last year it took me 5 months, I’d say around 20-30 interviews, and 6 years of experience as a dev. Congrats on the job!

I might as well double down while I’m here, “we don’t take kindly” was too aggressive wording.

I meant something more neutral like “I think y’all are weird”.

That way, the y’all is the problematic part. That was my point.

As for “y’all” or “you all”, I don’t see how it could possibly be interpreted as offensive to any gender.

I think “we don’t take kindly to y’all” to a trans person would likely be offensive. Beyond that though, you’re probably okay.

This is why people say Americans are morons, because they elect shitheads like this.

Because if people wanted to see angry people who don’t want to be there, they would just go to a laundromat in real life.

It’s going to be a hell of a long 4 years, for America and the rest of the world. Damn.

I mean, they are located in Japan, so it’s not like Yakuza don’t exist.
