>Yoda is a soldier. He's not just a grunt, either. He symbolizes conflict and war. He is the hero of a movie franchise called Star Wars. It's literally a blockbuster movie about war. Glorifying war. So I feel that the artist made a horrible artistic choice in using Star Wars as a play on Stop Wars. Like all the anti-war movies whose main characters are soldiers? That's a shallow point of view if I've ever read one. Yoda saw the fall of the democratic nation he wanted to protect, the rise of a fascist empire, and lost everybody he ever knew and cherished along the way, only to end up as a bitter hermit in a swamp. Soldiers are victims too, even if they don't die in a war.

7, for sure. House doesn’t want to talk, I don’t want to talk, we’re cool.

He also did not show the troubleshooting afterwards or even testing another distro which can be done very quickly, and declared that Linux still isn’t a good out of the box experience after just one test. Because he had people waiting for him in a game lobby (that’s the thing I’d actually give him shit for, trying out a new OS at a LAN) and decided to fall back to a known working OS to be able to get on with his day. And that’s exactly what many average users would do in a similar situation (not necessarily sitting at a LAN but maybe urgently needing to get on with productive task x y or z instead of troubleshooting). He also did not declare “that Linux still isn’t a good out of the box experience after just one test.”, this is a multi part series and he already said he tried different distros afterwards.

I really hope he realises how not for his use case it is Installing a deck verified game with a gold protondb rating and playing it?

What’s the difference between watching him struggle with popos or having my mother do the same? I can’t watch your mom on youtube? Average windows users will want to know if they can make the switch with their average windows user knowledge and approach, that’s valuable information to them.

And a new user trying to pick a distro would know and understand that … how? Because that’s the experience he’s trying to emulate. I frequently see pop os recommended on lemmy too, so please don’t act like it’s obviously some outrageously silly choice.

Us Germans sadly have owner’s associations in appartment buildings that can pull similar shit with the house rules, and also crazy restrictive building codes in some places, dictating how your driveway is allowed to look etc.

You can pay 6€ for shipping today or help amazon finally become the monopolist, and then tomorrow your batteries will just cost 10€. Another way is to ask at the next electronics store as I’m sure they can order them with their next routine shipment.

Imagine thinking that's "marxist" and not just objective truth.

Chairs are fucking expensive though. It’s always like “oh, this table is only 300” “yeah, but the matching chairs are 120 each”

If it’s Spotify, why? YT premium costs just about as much. Because it’s not google.
