I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I think the examples are a bit too far fetched:

I’d wager most people use a computer/phone on a daily basis, which is why having a basic understanding of it seems like knowledge we should all have.

Inversely, most people don’t need even have a turbo in their car and many don’t even have a car, so any knowledge relating to that is probably useless for them.

That being said, even if someone is less knowledgeable in a field, respect should always be the baseline, as you illustrate, they’re probably skilled in something else!

I’m saying that as an IT person that’s aware that I’m making money mostly because people don’t bother to learn all this, so in the end I don’t mind that much.

Could you share the method you used to divide a single monitor from the OS perspective?

If you got the script or wiki page somewhere…

I’m curious

As others have mentionned downloading the .deb and running it will also work, but I feel nobody gave your a tldr of why you may want to follow those instructions instead, so here it is:

Those instructions configure your package manager (apt) with a new repository for this application.

The upside to that is that anytime you will look for updates, this app will also get updated.

It’s a bit more work up front, but it can pay off when you have dozens of app updating as part of normal system operations.

Imagine a world where windows updates would also update all your software, that’s what this is.

I see that being said quite often.

Is there any actual proof of this or is it speculation?

In low density population areas, it seems to me that laying fiber would be cost prohibitive, but I’d like to be proven wrong.

While I agree that it wasn’t the time nor the place, that video had nothing to do with the sexual harrassment/assault allegations.

This was in response to GN video and subsequent Linus response on their forum.

The other stuff came after.

Still weird, but not on the same scale in my opinion.

Edit: I just saw timestamps lower in another comment chain showing that the apology video actually came after the twitter post.

While it was most likely filmed and edited before said post, launching as is is pretty bad indeed.

I was raised by my grandparents.

My grandfather was the cook most of the time, and he was always trying new recipies he found online: in years, I don’t think I ever saw him cook the same meal twice.

Everytime he’d taste something new, he’d enthusiastically comment “it’s different than usual!” (Rough translation from French “ça fait changment!”)

To this day, I have no idea how good or how bad he thought any of those dishes were.

I’m not the person you answered to, but as english ain’t my first language I figured I’d ask:

I get that this person was trying to say “piqued” as in “got my interest”

But wouldn’t “peaked” as in “my interest couldn’t possibly get higher as it has peaked from that new information” also be valid?

(I get it’s a saying, but as I’m not familiar with that saying in english it didn’t bother me, which is why I’m curious)
