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

This is true, but some of us are actually very different. That’s not always a bad thing, either.

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.

Partial returners seems like a good name for it.

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.

It’s always good to be valued, congrats!

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!

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

Can’t wait to see what these fuckheads have in store for America, and the rest of the world. Plus, Canada is getting it’s own version of Trump next year, so that’s incredible too.

What wonderful times we live in.

No, it’s going to get worse with the Trump administration.

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

It’s mostly thanks to the Wright brothers too, damn, that’s impressive beyond words.

Honestly, everything. Any TV show, movie, documentary, book, or hell even porn that could be deemed as valuable or important in any way as I could see any one of these things becoming outlawed with such a regime. Hell, Canada’s new prime minister (99% chance to win in the next election apparently) is going to try for putting porn behind digital IDs (despite claiming to be against digital IDs before if I remember correctly) which is just going to be a privacy nightmare unfortunately, I’m already having to stockpile porn because of this ridiculous bullshit. We are truly in a doomed timeline.

Canada will do the same once Pierre takes over. I’m already having to stockpile porn because of the fact he has a 99% chance to win and he’s going to implement digital ID bullshit (even though Pierre claimed to be against digital IDs before If I remember correctly) which will end up being a privacy nightmare. I hope to fuck it’s not going to be linked to social insurance numbers because the only way to get a new social insurance number is if there is actively fraud happening with your social insurance number, and then you have to fight to prove that you’re you. We are so fucked.
