I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that even the United States FBI recommended using ad blocking extensions to protect yourself online.

Oh yeah it’s totally an appliance OS built around Kodi and not a general purpose OS. I do use it to watch YouTube though. I’ll “send to Kodi” from my phone and it plays on the TV. I use a full desktop computer for all the other stuff you mentioned. I only brought up Kodi on the raspi because this meme specifically calls out videos, which do work quite well (as long as it isn’t a vc1 encode apparently).

Yeah I can’t speak to that as I don’t have anything encoded in vc1. After a quick search I see that’s a proprietary Microsoft codec so that’s probably why I didn’t encode anything with it.

Huh. I use a Raspberry Pi 5 as a media center PC running Kodi / libreelec… Literally all it does is play videos and music. Even 4k h.265. This meme makes no sense to me.

Tree style tabs is my enabler 😖

Shoot me $12

Ugh the caps lock key is too useless for the home row!

Oh lord that escape key bit is me

Oh yeah. Back in the late 90s I played all the games ported by Loki Games. I played the native quakes, portal 1 & 2. And using regular Wine and some winetricks I played about 300 hours of Skyrim and completed Mass Effect 1,2,3.

You probably remember the libc5 to glibc swap. Bad times to DIY distros.

Hmm I have come up with a bunch of neat solutions over the years. Where to start?

One time I broke the sudoers file on a distro without a root account, thoroughly locking myself out. I used docker -v /:/chroot to get myself root access to my root filesystem where I fixed the sudoers file. Protip always use visudo

Minification is a curse. Now hear me out… I’ve wasted so much engineering time trying to figure out why various build scripts fail in docker only to find there’s a tool = $(which tool) 2>/dev/null in there eating the real error. Which is missing because someone wanted to save a 100k by not installing it the docker image base image.

FWIW Minneapolis city council is already talking about back tracking on this. Maybe.

A bunch of your comments in this thread are saying things that disagree with the details in the article and another that’s linked in this one. Where are you getting this info? Because Apnews is one of the few I trust. I’m trying to ascertain if you’re worth listening to over the medical examiner that said it was toxic levels of two drugs and that a suicide notes release was up to the family as reported by Apnews.

“An important part of the Owasso Police Department’s investigation was the discovery of some brief notes, written by Benedict, which appeared to be related to the suicide,” Kunzweiler said. “The precise contents of the suicide note are a personal matter which the family will have to address within the privacy of their own lives.”

And from a link in the linked article.

The report shows Benedict had toxic levels of two drugs in their system and died of an overdose. A complete autopsy will be released in 10 days in accordance with state law, the medical examiner’s office said.

Edit: Furthermore you said

Neither Benadryl nor Prozac are known to be fatal.

And this disagrees. https://addictionresource.com/drugs/benadryl/overdose/

Overdose on Benadryl has been found to be one of the top 15 death-causing drug ODs from the year 2011 through 2016 in the United States.

My point was more that it was a very rough release even for a .0 and the distros should have waited a bit longer before shipping it as a default. All said I <3 KDE and have been using it since 0.9.6 I think

Nice! How many 9s you got on that?

Lol. My gaming PC runs Debian Bookworm and KDE.

Oh how quickly people forgot about Plasma 4. When a Debian stable is released with Plasma 6 then I’ll know it’s ready for me. I don’t rush into major KDE releases anymore.

Not without real Firefox and ublock origin I won’t!
