I thought it was funny,

I really, really don't watch his videos. From that description it sounds like the thing rich people do to get brownie points on social media while not really helping in any meaningful way.

I think they are called trustafarians (YouTube link)

Honestly, if your programming your ECU or something. I wouldn't risk potentially bricking your car. It is a tool after all, something like how I prefer mikita over Milwaukee but I'll use it to get the job done if needed.

Edit: ECU software can be a little finicky. Jayztwocents built a PC for his mechanic friend and the application refused to start because it wasn't an Intel CPU.

My household is a Microsoft free environment. There is no place for the royal we in this conversation.

😄I don't want packages I want programs. That's like a Mac user saying I don't want programs I want applications. Booting up a Mac and saying where's my god dam exe, why doesn't anything work.

No offense it's just funny.

I never watched his videos. Wasn't he the kid that potentially bankrupt people by giving them a car they couldn't afford the tax on?

Unless it's a company, good luc...

Hay, how would you like writing documentation for all these open source projects? We would be ever greatful, you could even put your name in the credits!

The dankest depths of archlinux wiki. Written by a guy so far gone, so war harden by reading through source code and poorly written technical documentation, ancient forums, leaving no stone unturned. A task so twisted it drives most men crazy.

1% of arch users will ever need this wiki and few have gone through this Herculean task. For them, the first draft is enough, it's all you can ask of a mind so twisted and broken. Alas it's as unreadable as the source code and as hard to understand as the forum post from 2009.

I do wish there were more native apps but alternatives to electron is always a good thing in my book.

Except for Microsoft, Microsoft can stop pretending their solution is demonstrably different from electron and chromium.

Neat!

I like the idea of someone traveling through time like the Terminator for mundain things like this. Always ending up naked, leaving scorch marks everywhere, and just casually doing it in front of people without any warning.

Or you travel through time like the Terminator. You find yourself completely naked with the cop having an existential crisis as he questions if any of this is real and the smell of bacon fills the air.

I never had any issues. Cris Titus when he was learning to use Linux tried arch for the first time and he was fuming when his system wouldn't boot after installing like 2000 aur packages and applying a kernel update through pacman. Thankfully he had backups.

No hard feelings, it was just a little off-putting.

Discord, slack, bitwarden, steam, Microsoft teams, visual studio code, balena etcher . Anyone else know of any electron apps or heavily modified version of chrome?😄

Yeah, I just set it and forget it. Understand I started using Linux with a really new system and an Nvidia card so archlinux was just soo much easier than hacking away at a distro too old to support my hardware.

My system is older now but I'm just going to leave it on there because other distros kind of do things I don't like, small things but still enough for me to stick with arch.

Miserable because Grandma hasn't figured it out yet.😆

No need to be rude. For all we know it's all the writers opinion and isn't based on any real metrics. Besides I haven't seen anyone in the wild that actively uses slackware.

I use arch, I'm very happy with my distro. No bullshit, no decisions made on my behalf, no hacking around artificial limitations(fedora, Ubuntu), and no removing software to declutter my application menu.

I don't know if it's anyone else's experience but troubleshooting arch is easier than other distros because your intimate knowledge of the system you built yourself. It has helped me with fixing other distros though.

A tip to new arch users, keep the AUR package numbers very low or at least mostly limited to packages officially endorsed or potentially maintained by the main project.

Traveling a second back in time to scratch that itch before it even happens. Maybe going back in time to tell yourself not to order that taco bell. Skipping forward in time to skip a hot pocket cooking in the microwave. Traveling a couple of minutes into the future to skip a boring conversation with the officer that pulled you over.

Here's the real question, if it's possible to time travel isn't it just part of the timeline even if it doesn't seem like it. If you could traverse forward and backwards in time like a tape deck isn't it already laid out including all of the time traveling you'll ever do.
