The clickbaity title gets more engagement. When you see the title and thumbnail change on a video after it’s already been uploaded, it’s usually the creator trying a different tactic as the video, probably, hasn’t gotten a lot of views, yet.

Because YouTube has tied video making to employment, it’s simply not enough to just make a video as the algorithm can bury your future content or not recommend your type of video to people who may be your very audience, to begin with, if it gets the idea that those people aren’t interested in watching that content.

F. D. Signifier has a video where he covers some of these techniques and why they work: https://youtu.be/ue5ULGzvSYE

It does; but that wasn’t a blocker that OP mentioned (I read “pure” as Linux kernel with GNU coreutils).

Which reviews had you read? Earlier reviews of the previous model aren’t going to be as accurate as a lot of updates have led to improvements. You’re not wrong that things aren’t fully out of the woods (as is inevitably the nature of things, at this point in time) but most people who drive it daily have said that things just generally work, usually, these days. Their Matrix/Telegram channel may offer a more accurate depiction of the current state of things.

Now, Android/iOS level performance may be what’s necessary to make the cut for you (that sounds sarcastic, for some reason, but I genuinely mean that as neutrally as possible) but I figured I’d mention since people will often mention the Liberux NEXX (a device which doesn’t even exist, yet) without even mentioning this one and it’s by far closer to an actual possibility of being daily driven out of everything else out there.

EDIT: for example, here’s a review from a few months ago: https://clehaxze.tw/gemlog/2025/07-20-flx1-actually-usable-linux-phone.gmi. Again, I don’t want to make it sound like bugs don’t crop up occasionally (I don’t we can expect otherwise this early in the game) but I do think this one’s potentially actually feasible at being a daily driver far closer to what you’re looking for comparatively to anything else out there, at the moment.

Something, possibly, to keep an eye on.

I have this saved somewhere, back when the song had first come out; still one of my absolute favorites.

How dare you say we read the internet!

If you’d like the same functionality but using pride flags to color in the distro logo, check out hyfetch.

Haha; I hate when that happens.

Mmm; that’s a really good point. I could definitely buy that; fair.

I think that’d make more sense if we’re considering the actual, underlying topic under debate but they were responding to gramie’s comment which didn’t challenge their assertion that the cows were hurt but just went (more or less): “counterpoint: ice cream is yum yum”.

In that context, going “sex is pleasurable, too, but rape is still wrong” isn’t terribly out of left field, to me.

But I get what you mean, for sure.

I mean, – if the answer is I can’t – we probably shouldn’t be framing our arguments universally, then; especially when there are relatively easy counter examples that disapprove the universality.

I wouldn’t even know where to buy milk that doesn’t come from factory farming.

I mean, that’s fair – I expect a lot of people don’t or don’t bother to do the research – but that’s still, definitionally, a contextual framework and isn’t universal. The premise that dairy consumption is universally (in all possible circumstances) evil assumes these arguments always apply; and they don’t.

You can get milk from a cow without harming the cow or violently ripping away her calf. Maybe it’s difficult, etc. But it’s not impossible. So such a universal argument is simply incorrect.

I only mention this because I have the same rhetorical tendency and people always somehow seem to think I’m equating the two: it’s not a statement that milk equals rape. It’s highlighting (with a stark example, arguably an unnecessary one) that a person deriving pleasure from an act doesn’t make the act immediately good (I dunno, stealing candy from a baby? For a less “vivid” counter example; I admit, I tend to use super obviously morally bad counter examples too, thinking it’ll make things more overly clear, and, instead, causing someone to think I think they’re the same thing rather than just operating under the same principle, of differing degrees).

(all that said, their argument doesn’t hold water, to begin with, as it’s not cruel or painful to the cow unless under factory farming and cows have no sense of ownership and don’t feel like their property is being “stolen”; a meal isn’t a proper meal if dairy isn’t involved, as far as I’m concerned)

Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.

You’d reminded me that I still wanted to try these, someday, and I went looking, again, for if there was an easier means (other than travelling to Hawaii); I found this place that delivers within the contiguous states: https://miamifruit.org/products/gros-michel-banana-box-order. If you had wanted to try one; more expensive, due to the fragility of the crop, but viable.

I expect it’s what you meant by putting O. K. in quotes but for a relative definition is O. K.: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/4/1/2232749/-Culturally-going-out-to-kill-Jews-on-Holy-Week-non-antisemitic-ly

To me, it felt like an obvious imitation of the myriad of articles that often have someone try Linux out, shortly, and then – often with obvious not understanding or just a surface level insight – proudly and definitively stating (or, at least, subtextually implying) that Linux was interesting but clearly not ready to be a Real™ operating system, etc.

But it seems most didn’t read it as that, either.

The issue I always run into is I progressively go to bed later and later until I just cycle through the 24-hour period.

That said, 'wouldn’t actually be a problem if I didn’t have to work…
