An immutable Linux system. Especially if there a total noon.

Last I heard that’s close to 50% of the consumers.

For the majority of people a 1080p60 with a high bitrate and 10+ bit color space will look absolutely perfect. Some can pixel peep and tell, but more people still struggle seeing when the aspect ratio is wrong on their TV.

Check his hard drives.

That’s fucking metal.

For most things I default towards free and open source software. If that doesn’t work, then I will look for a proprietary solution. There’s only a few areas where this is relevant.

I use Chrome browser for work. I have Steam, which is fantastic but is absolutely proprietary. Not much outside of that.

Magnet Link = Good

The G is silent.

It depends on your work. I’m a web designer and I can use anything I want. I also work from home.

Okay, how does this dude explain native Linux apps?

I use the Heroic launcher with GOG and it works fantastic. Official apps are less needed if the open source ones are great.

An overly compressed 4k stream will look far worse than a good quality 1080p. We keep upping the resolution without getting newer codecs and not adjusting the bitrate.

I’m starting to think these for-profit companies only care about making money.

Had to leave Twitter when it became a Nazi site, I can leave TikTok to I guess.

Just ran am update for ytdlp and it’s working again.

I don’t make phone calls and rarely use SMS. All the features I need/want from a phone would be missing.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I genuinely love my phone. It makes my life better.

I take it with me too the beach. Between the sand in the air and bringing it into the water it’s nice to know it’ll be fine. Also, when it gets dirty I can just wash it.

It’s a cheap shot, but I’ll allow it.

I recently started using VisiData and it’s amazing.
