On LTT there was a race and the person who chose to install Linux had a huge head start as the install only took a few minutes. While Linus took forever to install windows.

I forget the outcome of the video, but I wish he would show more support for Linux on his channel.

Sadly, I don’t have a pixel.

This is me and my dad so much.

Last year he was complaining about how the owner of the company he works for is retiring and giving the company to his son who doesn’t know anything about the business.

We talked about how the workers could all own a portion of the company and run it themselves.

He agreed that’s how it should work.

But socialism is bad… 🤦‍♂️

Thanks! I don’t think this will work for me. Where I live, most of the payments are made directly through banking apps by scanning a qr-code.

Can someone give an example of an app that doesn’t work? I always hear about apps that do work, but is it mostly banking or some other category that doesn’t work typically?

Thanks! Your right. I’m thinking of Singapore. My bad.

Based on a quick google search vpns are often blocked in Saudi, but it says they are not illegal.

I think they block specific provider so hosting your own should solve the problem.

I think they are legal in Korea since Mullvad hosts vpns in Korea.

Double check on these things but it seems like you are good to go.

Does fdroid even work on android tv?

What can you do on your android tv that you can do on an Apple TV?

Sounds like songs from the game “The Messenger”.

Great game and great music.

Let me know if I don’t know enough about what you are talking about, but I think your saying to use qemu to o run windows.

This is about running x86 code on arm processors, like what Apple does with Rosetta.

Is this why Apple is finally going to increase the base amount of ram in their laptops😂

I hate fandom so much. Their site is very annoying on mobile.

But you can but a Dell with Linux on it instead of windows.

I’m not sure how true this is, but I read somewhere that when Mac got above 5% market share, it suddenly got a lot more mainstream support.

I wonder if that means we’re are a year or two away from Linux as a mainstream option.

I’d love to have an arm based Linux laptop with software support for one of my critical work apps.

My biggest concern with graphene is that I don’t really trust that my apps will work on it.

I haven’t looked into it for years, but I do need to use apps like Microsoftone drive, WeChat, banks, etc.

Even if they work I’m concerned that they will see I’m on some modified OS and block my account.

Genuine question, is there some reason you can mix and match tools?

Video is tougher as it changes every few years. Once a new standard is out there is also a little lag before there is hardware decoding. Additionally the video codec and extension are different things. I’m going to talk about codecs as I think it’s more important than file type.

Hardware decoding is important especially for mobile devices and software decoding will run the processor and eat up your battery.

For video, right now, the technically best format I think is AV1. If I’m not mistaken it’s open source or at least doesn’t have royalties.

Images are kind of the same story, but browser support is the issue.

I think jpegxl is supported to be pretty great, but Google is trying to push their own standard which I believe is technically inferior in some ways. Because of that Google had support for jpegxl in chrome and then they removed it from chrome.

I think you meant minetest with a Minecraft mod.

That’s interesting. I wonder if we will see more duo plans as people are increasingly child free.
