Also I don’t wanna seem conspiratorial
But my Linux video and poster is doing MASSIVE rounds on BlueSky/Mastodon and has been seen by like 3 people on Twitter even after I retweeted it
Smells fishy

Today I've got something a little different. Here's a (very philosophical) video and accompanying blog post about why I've finally switched to Linux, and how I'm changing all of my tech habits. Something to think about for the weekend. https://youtu.be/RbvmtnWe2cw

Leave it to the brainrot machine to immediately peddle propaganda

Shirley Curry isn't having fun with YouTube anymore and is going to take an indefinite break to make a quilt. I respect the hell out of this. So, so many YouTubers could/should learn from this. https://nypost.com/2024/09/24/lifestyle/skyrim-grandma-calls-it-quits-after-9-years-of-game-streaming/
