  • Bill Gates is a horrible person.

    Jump

  • Yeah. He has shaped the world in very negative ways through his decisions. He could donate his entire fortune today and live out the rest of his life in a monastery, but I would still hate him.

  • Wonderful; thanks for sharing. I'll check him out this weekend.

  • Very well put. I cannot stand the entitlement in the original letter.

  • Fair point. It's not an excuse, but it does explain a lot. Nobody is the villain in their own story, after all.

  • I don't know The Hated One; I'm assuming they are a content creator. What kind of stuff do they usually do?

  • Bill Gates is a horrible person.

  • Honestly, I wouldn't put it past him.

  • That's a good point, as illustrated by things like the Stanford Prison Experiment.

    Jump

  • Well, it would make sense. Rich people have always creeped me out, just instinctively.

  • Bill Gates is a horrible person.

    Jump

  • Yup. He stole a bunch of ideas and code, then got upset that people were stealing his ideas and code. Do as I say, not as I do.

  • I read about that, yeah. All hail Mammon; money above all. Sometimes I think wealth changes something in a person's brain, like psychologically or neurologically. It's as if they get so detached from reality that they lose all empathy and sense of community. I've heard the term 'affluenza' used as a joke, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense as a legitimate thing.

  • I've noticed that on Lemmy, in a few comments. What is it about? Some kind of spelling reform?

  • Self hosting Sunday! What's up, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • Right? It's like a trust fall. You just have to cross your fingers and hope for the best.

  • I updated my Dietpi setup today, because a new version was available. It went very well, and everything works perfectly after a reboot.

  • (Posting on behalf of the dev) NEWM needs a helping hand!

    Jump

  • Yeah. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it has been a really good experience. There are some bugs, of course, but hopefully those can be worked on.

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

    Jump

  • As a general rule of thumb, I usually recommend Linux Mint to beginners. The installation and update processes are easy and intuitive, and there is a ton of software available, as well as good support if you know how to do web searches properly. The main trick is to try and remember that a paradigm shift needs to happen here. Linux is not Windows. It doesn't work like Windows, and it has different aims and priorities. She will also need to be prepared to learn a bit and be slightly more hands-on with her computing. The learning curve with Mint is comparatively gentle, but it does exist.

    This is all very broad and general, but I hope it helps. Good luck to the both of you. I hope you are satisfied with whatever you decide on.

  • So how is it going South Korea?

    Jump

  • So I have lived in South Korea for 6 years now. The fact that this fire has had such a major impact is quite typical of Korean bureaucracy and tech administration. Very few backups, infrastructure held together with scotch tape and bubblegum, overworked devs and maintainers. It's a bit sad, especially for a country that exports so many tech products.

    Jellyfin inquiry

    Jump

  • Tailscale creates a new virtual network, and anything you want to connect to the Jellyfin server needs to be in that Tailscale network. You need to hook up the Roku device to Tailscale. I have never owned one, so I can't say anything about that. But maybe that's what you should figure out next.
