    itsJoelleScott , to world in Hollywood Shuts Down After 160,000 Actors Walk Off the Set

    They’re fighting a losing battle, but I hope a side effect of it is that new people come in and change both the economics and artistry of Hollywood. Most Hollywood content sits in a very rigid box. It’s repetitive, unoriginal, and unappealing.

    My two cents is there’s a structural issue that’s converged to strictly Campbellian story-telling as the end-all-be-all structure. Sure, you’ll have something come out of HBO or AppleTV that breaks it, but AAA movies rarely break it.

    itsJoelleScott , to mildlyinfuriating in This news site is 60% Amazon ads.

    Ooh yeah, I never thought about that. While I disagree with some of my funcitonals, I don’t die inside knowing it’s going to be painful to people viewing ads.

    itsJoelleScott , to programmerhumor in pointers are very eleganto

    H-how did this meme clear up a confusion I have with ** pointers after all these years?

    They’re just pointer pointers!

    Dang, that is so cool C can do that.

    I haven’t worn a belt in months. 🥳

    itsJoelleScott , to nostupidquestions in What's more unsafe - Windows or Android?

    Well, for example, Android phones need to be rooted for full system access, for example. That’s a series of hoops to jump through. Same goes for installing a malicious .apk. A windows user just needs to click through a AUC prompt and the lovely has keys to the city. That’s before we touch the wonder that is admin PowerShell.

    I suppose the ratio of how much knowledge the average person knows about tech to “dangerous” behavior naturally taught by the OS is higher, I suspect, on Windows.

    itsJoelleScott , to technology in Fairphone 3 gets 7 years of updates, besting every other Android OEM

    Oh indeed! That helps as well. I imagine other manufacturers do this too, but I only follow Apple closely since I was a huge fanboy half a decade ago. So I can’t speak with certainty for them

    itsJoelleScott , to youshouldknow in YSK more about Facebook/Meta's record of data security and privacy abuses.

    I agree, but I’m just spitballing why others could potentially see Meta joining the verse as a positive.

    itsJoelleScott , to youshouldknow in YSK more about Facebook/Meta's record of data security and privacy abuses.

    I think it’s the impulse to have the Frediverse grow, but it’s a bit of a Trojan horse innit?

    itsJoelleScott , to linux in The year of Linux on the desktop is closer. Linux reaches 3% of desktops

    Oh, you’ll be fine then. Haven’t used Mint personally, but I’ve heard good things about it! Always reach out for help.

    Also we need to consider how phone companies differ from Google and Apple. Those two also generate money off the users purchasing apps and etc, and they have the ability to push users to their services easier. Where as strictly phone manufacturers make money at the sale of the handset, so – as you put it – they’re incentivized to have as much penetration as possible by selling as many models they can.

    Tho, I do think people are starting to care about support length as the phone market matures and people wait longer to buy their new phones. Which is why, I think, Android manufacturers are lengthening support (and not out of the goodness of their hearts)

    If not, surely the one after that.

    Isn’t that the joke tho?

    Good on you mate, and welcome aboard!

    Assuming it isn’t you first time: there’s a slight learning curve, but once you’re passed a few months and you’ve resolved a few issues on your own you won’t look back!

    Look into KDE extensions to customize your desktop just the way you want it! My windows wobble around or fizzle out of existence when I close them. :)
