You can use public transportation, bikes, car pooling, taxis and rentals for your rare-use needs, and its usually cheaper than owning and operating a vehicle.

Unnecessarily negative imo.

I like the video because I cant read a blog post in the background while doing other stuff, and I like Gadget Hackwrench narrating semi-obscure CS topics lol

It's easy to win an argument when you get to construct both sides. You can easily be direct and to the point without being brash.

You could, also, be wrong or misinformed, so I don't see the big deal about "Hey -- the latency numbers look pretty heavy. Should they be in the 400s?" or "I don't believe this is the best approach, we'll get issues with XYZ".

That doesnt necessarily track. He could have stolen the data, then reported it to clear his own name. He did access more data than he needed to prove that there is a likely breach.

Is it? if 10 people may have committed a crime, should we exonerate 1 of them because he reported it and promises he didnt do anything?

If you flip it, we have a dude here admitting to breaching a large number of accounts and gaining access to PII -- including PII about minors.

Are we and the Maltese government just going to trust this guy and assume he has actually deleted everything, with no investigation?

we should be worried about both. there is a real risk of this rendering human trust and the internet pretty much useless

eh, words are reality. insults are just changes in air pressure but they still hurt, and being constantly subjected to negativity and harsh language would be an unpleasant work environment

I'm not being factious, but is there any Linux distro with a desktop experience that matches Windows and macos?

Like, yes, I know there are many flaws with both. A lot of sound, technical issues with windows and macos. A slew of UX ones as well. But despite W11 carrying around remnants of Windows 98 still, both of those OSes _feel nice_.

Multiple desktops work well, nice gestures, simple installers and applications. Stuff often just works.

My experience with the distros and desktops Ive tried in Linux have felt like windows 98 with a janky web interface on top, or have missed a lot of features that commercial OSes have, installing programs is a mix of flatpaks, APKs, and building from source.

Often feels like a thin veil on top of a technically-inclined terminal OS.

Is ther eany OS/desktop where you dont pay the "linux tax" when it comes to how the GUI feels?

Spoiler: No, they dont. They never do. Reports will say "yeah, probably" and in 10-40 years will change to "oooh well they didnt".

not only does OP imagine a powerful customer base, theyre all aligned enough that one configuration fits all. im doubtful
