The true arch experience.

That’s cool. How did you go about finding that? Any communities you can recommend?

I think it mostly refers to a fresh install, which is fairly slim I guess (though not THAT slim either). The package (non-)granularity is still just absurd sometimes.

Honestly, I’ve been using Arch for about 10 years now, and I’ve never met an actual Arch elitist in real life (I guess we don’t get out of the basement that much). The only people I’ve met who would show that attitude were usually either Ubuntu/Mint fanboys or GNU hardliners. Live and let live?

In my experience, these YouTube channels buy that simplicity in exchange for leaving out many (important) details. Sure, college professors aren’t all didactic geniuses, but making things accurate usually requires to also make it more complicated.

FOAAS (Fuck off as a service)

I, too, would like the winter winds to teach me about Rust.

No and no, it’s just hype IMO. But the trickle of new users seems sufficient to make Lemmy a more interesting place to be and a more viable platform long term. That’s already quite good if you ask me.

Man, when I played, poor Paul got burnt to a crisp. I’m still having flashbacks from that shock.

Some weather we’re having, eh?

Despite the fact that Lemmy is a fairly new piece of software, which makes these issues more likely, I am really grateful for it being open source, and I really appreciate this level of transparency.

Could also help to deactivate the personalized advertising functionality in the Google/YouTube settings (basically wipe currently stored preference, the forbid YouTube from making suggestions based on your interests). This will keep her feed fairly generic (and bad, oh boy) so that she would have to actively search for or subscribe to these videos.
