To each their own.

Yeah, that’s what I meant by “the manual”. Though I suppose the Linux community is the most likely to be flipping through a physical book to figure out their bash script.

“RTFM” (or similar comments like “it’s in the docs”) are just mean and useless without a reference.

Like, okay, superior user in the internet: If it’s in the manual/docs, what page? Do you have a link? Could you quote the relevant section?

Often people ask because they couldn’t find the answer in the docs. Simply pointing them at the answer is infinitely better than “lol the answer is in there somewhere”

See also: “Let me Google that for you…” Like mf Google brought me to this thread!

I can’t count the number of times I swear I read every man page and I can’t figure out how to structure my arguments–especially when they are nested or conditional.

I especially wish more man pages had common examples. Sometimes an example can say more than a paragraph of explanation.

Thanks! Archiving does seem useful, especially as internet censorship is on the rise. The rest I probably wouldn’t use, but I could see why others might.

Yeah, it’s frustrating on both ends.

Readers and viewers of art are increasingly skeptical because of all the intentionally deceptive content flooding the zone.

Meanwhile, the humans actually making new things get drowned out by the slop and accused of using AI when they finally do surface.

They created BS machines that made everyone more distrustful of real human experience.

Yeah, it sucks because I kind of like emojis, but now I feel like I can’t use them because people will think my docs are AI generated.

I can already collect and organize bookmarks very easily in every browser. Other than a prettier UI, I’m not sure how this is functionally different. Am I missing something?

Every patch you push to me…

Whipper snappers… my birthday on Steam is Jan 1st, 1900.

Wow that’s a long dev reply. He certainly has a lot of controversies to address…

Steering clear of this one.

You’re describing the oldest Linux gateway in the book—experimenting with a secondary device. Make sure you copy any data you care about off your PC, pick a distro that looks neat, and try it out!

Don’t worry too much about picking the “right” or “wrong” distro. It’s very easy to switch once you get the hang of Linux in general.

Yeah this is a way better alternative and no more invasive than a “I’m over 18” checkbox, it’s just done once on a OS user account rather than on every site.

I think all the age verification bullshit happening elsewhere is making people jump to angry conclusions rather than actually read the law.

EDIT: JFC the straw man arguments on this one are insane. I feel like people are intentionally misunderstanding how this functionality works because they’ve decided to be mad about it in advance.

They really are determined to kill the Xbox brand, huh?

People using YouTube need this info more than people using PeerTube.

Yeah, I only didn’t mention this because it’s theoretically possible for Tailscale to discontinue support for that and break compatibility in the clients if they decided they want you using their stuff.

I only even use it because I have networks that refuse to see the writing on the wall. Maybe this will finally give them the kick they need to try matrix? Probably not…

There are self-hosted overlay networks. They may be harder to set up, but you prevent your infrastructure from being reliant on the ticking timebomb that is VC money. I’ve heard about:

• Nebula
• Netbird

But I’m sure there are others.

Yeah, I noticed that. Luckily, the YT embedded player has an “add to Watch Later” button (the clock icon). I’ll use the favorites as a fallback for when Google inevitably kills that feature, lol.

This is great! FreshRSS has been part of my YouTube “flow” for a long time. I like going through my subscriptions list, adding them to my “Watch Later” playlist, and then watching them all in a row. This seems like it’d be perfect for that.
