1 month agoI love Linux. I’m so glad I switched both my PC and laptop to OpenSUSE and got rid of dual boot Windows. Using Linux exclusively for months has really opened my eyes to the truth:

6·4 months agoI wish to unsee this please.
2·10 months agoAwesome, thanks. Here are some of the ones I would recommend:
The Reith Lectures - Lecture series from an expert on a topic. Tend to release episodes close to the end of the year only (episodes are releasing now talking about the state of democracy). The backlog is worth listening to.
The Dream- investigative podcast looked at pyramid schemes and the world of wellness.
The Jordan Harbinger Show - In-depth conversations with people at the top of their game.
Playing God - Medical ethics. Life-and-death dilemmas. New medical technologies. Controversial treatments.
Hot Money: The New Narcos - The backlog has excellent episodes about investigating the financing structures in the porn industry. They’re just preparing to launch a new series now but I don’t know what they’re going to look at now.
You Are Not So Smart - about reasoning, biases, judgments, and decision-making.
The Happiness Lab - the science of happiness
Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas
CrowdScience - Listener questions about a science issue that the presenters then try to find experts to answer
The Real Story - examination of some current event issue.
The Inquiry - gets beyond the headlines to explore the trends, forces and ideas shaping the world.
The Infinite Monkey Cage - a witty, irreverent look at the world through scientists
Darknet Diaries - true stories of the dark side of the Internet
Revisionist History - Malcolm Gladwelllooks at things overlooked and the misunderstood
Owls at Dawn - Two dudes from SoCal who studied philosophy, politics, and religion around the globe who decided to start a podcast where we could bullshit with impunity.
If Books Could Kill - Two guys talk about books that are popular and tear apart how bad they are. I mostly find you don’t need to have read the book and the books tend to be pretty popular.
The Forum - The programme that explains the present by exploring the past. Expert panel discussion about any subject area.
Law in Action - legal magazine programme, featuring reports and discussion on matters relating to law (UK based)
All Consuming - explore our culture of consumption through products that have changed the world.
Sound of Gaming - video game soundtracks and an interview with a sound designer from a popular video game.
Bad People - true crime with a criminologist and a comedian. This show has ended but the backlog is great.
Oh wow. You really are me. This is surreal. Care to share your whole podcast list? I’d be interested in discovering new shows from someone with similar interests.
Oh shit. Can’t believe you got my exact top 3. Especially since Cautionary Tales isn’t even BBC and likely much more of a niche show.
11·10 months agoMy Reddit app had hundreds of keywords, domains and subs in the filters by the time I left Reddit. You seem to be getting some criticism in the comments here, but I think what you’re doing here is good. It’s up to you to curate the content you want to see, and instead of raging in a community to complain about low effort posts or spam or bots, if it works out better to block them then you should.
It’s pretty good at writing limericks and poems.
It’s great to use for troubleshooting Linux. It usually gives you the commands to paste into command line. It saves you from going to forums where people expect you to have advanced baseline knowledge already.
I was looking for something kinda cool, that was completely nondescript and anonymous.
What’s the benefit of that? I thought the point of the Federated nature of it all was so it all links together no matter what your local instance is.
2·11 months agoDang, didn’t believe that number of 8000 deaths. But Al Jazeera is reporting that that’s what the Gaza Health Ministry says.
1·11 months agoFIY For your information
i.g. For example
😆
I see the data you’ve linked, but find it fascinating what the parent comment is implying.
OP is asking: “guns have been around for so long, why are mass shootings more common only recently?”
Parent comment’s answer is “total murder rates used to be higher before, and the rate is now less than what it used to be before”
Even looking at your homocide data, what does that mean? Why have mass shootings increased?
And the further question that brings to my mind is: are people putting these 2 pieces of unrelated data together, to draw the conclusions that support their own bias? Great that overall murder rates are down compared to the 70s and 80s…but that doesn’t mean the country doesn’t have a gun problem, or that mass shootings aren’t unnecessary and avoidable deaths and a sign of some underlying unhealthiness in a community.
a really good substitute for the inner city housing problem
Some companies still make these but they’re not well known since it’s such an incredibly niche product:

There isn’t much point in having such a low power and utility limited device when a cheap low powered Windows laptop can cost a similar amount and run any Windows app you want.
ARS Clip is by far the best Windows clipboard manager I’ve ever used. The portable version even works great on my work computer. Can’t use a PC without it.
Go full on anarchy. When the clocks go back, you put your clocks one hour forward.
One of the first issues I had problems with was figuring out what was wrong with Street Fighter 6 giving ultra low frame rates in multiplayer, but working fine in single player. It needed disabling of split lock protections in the CPU.
A recent update in OpenSUSE made the computer fail to boot half the time and made the image on the right half of the screen garbled. I rolled back to before the update and am using it without updating for a few weeks to see if the GPU driver problem gets ironed out.
I installed VMware Horizon for my job’s remote work login and it fucked up my Steam big picture mode and controller detection. I didn’t bother trying to figure that out and just uninstalled VMware remote desktop.
I managed to install my printer driver, but manually finding the correct RPM file to install would not be tolerable for normies.
I still can’t get my Dualshock 3 controller to pair via Bluetooth despite instructions on the OpenSUSE wiki. I’ve stopped trying to troubleshoot that and use my 8BitDo controller instead.
I still can’t find a horizontal page scrolling PDF app.
Figuring out how to edit fstab to automount my secondary drives is not a process normies would be able to execute.
Plasma recently added monitor brightness controls to software and these seem to have disappeared for me now, and I can’t figure out why.
I can’t get CopyQ to launch minimised no matter what I do.
My KDE Plasma task bar widgets for monitoring CPU/GPU temp worked till I reinstalled OpenSUSE, and I can’t figure out why they’ve decided to not work on this fresh install. System monitor can see the temperature sensors just fine still.fixedFlatpak Steam app wouldn’t pick up controllers for some reason. Minor issue, but unnecessary jankiness.
My laptop fingerprint reader plainly isn’t supported.
People do not tolerate this amount of jankiness. And this doesn’t include the discomfort with relearning minor design differences between OS’s when switching. Linux is a bit of a battle with relearning and troubleshooting things that would never be problematic on Windows.
