I dont expose ssh to the internet. I expose wireguard. If you want ssh youll have to break my wiregaurd key and my ssh key.
- Comment on Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills 2 months ago:
Keyboards exist the way they are because typewriters did it that way for nearly 150 years, and had to be that way because they are a mechanical device. We havent even changed the design of PC keyboards since IBM basically perfected it in the 80s. Theres probably a lot of room to improve the keyboard, but we dont because simply its already a refined invention and fimilar. For example, qwerty made sense on a mechanical device, but it makes zero sense on an electronic device. But familiarity keeps people on qwerty. Funny enough, this effects touch keyboards too.

Depending on the distro, its generally no harder than windows… infact it probably easier since you dont have to go male an MS account.

Thats largely because 90s software was jank, and the internet exposed all kinds of more jank and viruses… but now, most things just work. Also, most people arent really using desktops, their using phones or tablets or game consoles, where the OS is very much locked down.

Except you do not know what fopyright infringement is. One must be depriving the owner their rights, such as distributing copyright material. The real loser here is youtube. By not watching ads, your costing then bandwidth and violates their ToS. But their a multi billion dollar tech giant that has no quams about fucking society over. So fuckem.

Its not piracy though… its the same as if you recorded television and then… skip over the ads. TiVo was doing that 25 years ago.
- Comment on You Should Show Grave of the Fireflies to Your Kids 2 months ago:
it was a joke about youtube labeling anything animated as ‘a cartoon for children’
- Comment on You Should Show Grave of the Fireflies to Your Kids 2 months ago:
i know of many instances where parents showed children stuff like Rend and Stimpy because it was a cartoon but didn’t allow them to watch SpongeBob,
just because you know living breathing examples of the youtube algorithm…
- Comment on You Should Show Grave of the Fireflies to Your Kids 2 months ago:
Anyway, Kinder- UND Hausmärchen means “Child story’s And “Hausmärchen” (idk how to translate that)”
The English title is ‘Children’s and household tales’. I was curious what ‘märchen’ meant, and it means ‘fairy tales’.
Its of course a individual thing, but “you should show grave of the Fireflies to your child” just isn’t a good general advice.
the keyword ‘individual’ parents should be able to judge rather or not they are capable of handling the themes of the media presented. Like, if their lose their shit to Littlefoot’s mother dying… than yeah no, they certainly won’t handle anything worse lol
