I do think Linus should be held to a higher standard than the average joe, but yeah. IMO he should have done his due diligence to do things right. It was just very low effort for a guy whose professional life revolves around tech.
Some people go way too far with lambasting him though.
What’s notable though is Linus’ experience is likely to be very typical of an average non-technical Windows user’s experience when it comes to dealing with problems.
To seemingly lose the ability to read when an error occurs and then just try and slam it through regardless instead of pumping the brakes and asking for help is all too common.
You’re not alone. I have very detailed convos with my cats all the time. I think its easier because you can say whatever you want and they won’t judge.
It’s almost like its own little mini catharsis sometimes.
If I didn’t have blood pressure issues, there is no way in hell I would subject myself to that BS 5/7 days of the week
You shouldn’t necessarily ever expect to enjoy doing something that you’re essentially forced to do. The gym is kinda like work for you so its perfectly reasonable that you hate it.
I love playing guitar and working on music but if I was ever forced to do it daily I would start hating it real quick. This is why I avoid monetization routes for my music that would require adhering to a routine.
When it comes to the gym, I’ve certainly gotten well into it to the point that it feels weird not to go. Same with running, but even more potent. I’d actually be in a shit mood if I had to skip a scheduled run for some reason.
Its a real bummer that you’re struggling to enjoy the gym, but I totally understand where you’re coming from. Life is busy and sometimes all that I have the bandwidth for is a beer on the couch after work. We all have our limits and that’s OK.
Glad to hear you’re pushing through it for the sake of your health. There’s likely no better reason to hit the gym. 💪
Hey, Netflix!

Not a word in the entire game. Still a masterpiece of storytelling.
“Perfect is the enemy of good.”
I think most people don’t. I live in a small house with my wife, no kids, and even that gets overwhelming somehow. Some days are just lost to work, cleaning, and maintenance.
We do aim to have at least a couple of days a week where we don’t have to do anything at all. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. When it doesn’t, it doesnt take long for burnout to set in.
Idiot is a very strong word to describe this. For a place so typically welcoming of neurodivergence this feels really dissonant in the grand scheme of things.
I get major ick vibes from this particular take on the situation.
That’s really strange. I have an M-Audio 60ish key and a smaller Novation Nocturn MIDI keyboard as well as a Roland electric drum kit and have no issues doing anything over MIDI with them on Linux.
Maybe its worth another try? I don’t need drivers for any of that stuff.
That’s fair. I guess its a lesser of two evils situation. No unlimited internet? Need to buy storage. No storage (OP’s situation) let Steam handle it.
Don’t back up your games. Steam Cloud saves are a thing and if your games drive shits the bed you can just buy a new one and re-download all your games.
Derivative over generative any day if you ask me.
Really? I run my home studio in Nobara Linux without any latency issues. I use Reaper as my DAW. Are you using yabridge?
Have Win 10 and was a Windows die hard since I was a kid.
Been running Linux on another drive as my default boot for a year and a half in anticipation of this horseshit and was only hesitant to delete Win because my Fanatec sim racing hardware wasn’t supported on Linux.
Welp, turns out hid-fanatecff is a thing. Installed the kernel driver and boom, working Fanatec peripherals. Even my Moza shifter is plug-and-play.
Bye bye Microsoft.

Asking the real questions.
You just need to adjust what you’re focusing on. The outdoors can be stimulating if you know where to look and relaxing if you know what to ignore.
Combine fishing with birdwatching. It’s a match made in heaven.
More like we juiced the bubble so good trying to make a trillion dollars that you (world governments) better not let it pop.
