I think at this point, packaged Arch distros like Cachy may unironically be the easiest and most reliable way to use Linux, especially for new users

"Back in my day kids got sued for pirating music, but now the AI companies are stealing everything and getting away with it" I wouldn't make this argument personally. - it's an appeal to hypocrisy, which is meaningless - same form as the boomer argument about student loan forgiveness

The narrative that vibecoding is going to usher in a new flood of emulation is less accurate than just admitting that all of the barriers between platforms have been fake since basically the PS4.

I know the "they did everything they were supposed to" line probably goes really hard with, like, MSNBC viewers but, like I actually don't care if immigrants commit crimes any more than I care if anybody else does. I want criminal immigrants in the US way more than I want billionaires lol

saw a very annoying youtube video titled 'the most subtle joke of all time' & it's that the narrator of arrested development gets mad when a character calls someone 'opie' derisively. that's not subtle. there were probably 10 subtler jokes that episode. ooo

executives are important because when you're making something you've poured your heart and soul into it's critical that a guy who's never made anything in his entire life gets to ruin it a little in order to feel better about getting cut off on the 10

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Three panel comic. Panel 1: underwater ocean camera view of a whale fall on the sea floor, with various bottom feeders and weird fishes crawling around the decomposing remains. Off panel, someone says, “hang on a second…” Panel 2: the speaker is a member of a marine biologist crew, remotely viewing the video footage from a computer monitor. The biologist is leaning against his colleague’s chair. He continues, “pan the camera back.” Panel 3: Back underwater, the POV shifts to the other end of the whale carcass. There’s a large spider crab with a standing just off to the side. It has a human face in a neutral expression, and is wearing glasses. The marine biologist says, “I think I went to high school with that guy.”

I'm kind of surprised YouTube and twitch haven't built a proper toolset for react-style videos on their platforms Like, you basically just need to allow the reacting creator to marionette the video. Record their play/pause events, then reproduce them on the viewer's computer
