  • ... I don't know if I'd call it sad, as much as kinda baffling. Vim was on every package manager list I've seen, under text editors... Big stylised letters, how does one miss that?

    I feel like it's someone who only uses Linux specifically for (and because of) their work, and has probably never tinkered and casually browsed around in it.

    Yeah, I can see how that can be sad, like a person who doesn't actually share your culture/hobby after all.

  • I mean... Young people don't know things yet... Isn't that normal?

    I get feeling existential about the passage of time, but... Sad? Laughing? Maybe I'm imagining it wrong, but I dunno. Maybe I'm just the young person in this occasion.

  • Not just that. Here in Greece, a decade ago at least, Facebook had a separate url (I think 0.facebook.com, instead of www.) which you could connect to even without having paid anything for mobile internet, completely free.

    Facebook had a deal with our national provider to keep that connection free, for the cheapest, student-targeting plans specifically.

    Many students, very often of junior high age, that had their own phones (not even necessarily smart phones), even when they didn't have money for data, they were using Facebook. And only Facebook. Children growing up confusing "the internet" with Facebook, and being on it for loooong hours, even before we all got immersed in our phones 24/7

    I bet they're doing something similar, making Facebook dirt cheap or free, to get poor nations hooked.

  • American outlet electricity, I recall, is such that it is actually some kind of weak. You guys need the microwave because your kettles aren't getting enough to eat, so they can't lift.

    There was a technology connections video of that I think...

  • And also justified praise.

    There could never be a story like Nier Automata on any medium outside of gaming, and there probably is no story like Nier Automata anywhere else in gaming right now.

    Also, clicking robots is pretty fun.

  • Because huge legal teams make sure to find the right loopholes.

    Here's a good 10 minutes of some of the more disgusting offenders.

    Quick and tasty video by a great YouTuber (Uniquenameosaurus, my beloved)

  • I wonder if it's because of patent-trolling crap, like Adobe's case.

    (Adobe runs patents on individual good-design features, like "having x option available on the right-click menu", forcing competitors to have that same option buried in some other dropdown menu somewhere, or have the same option split in multiple steps, in order to avoid being sued...)

    AutoCAD's company has done other sleazy copyright-related shit, so I wonder if something similar is going on, just like Photoshop alternatives being shit.
