You can create two Google accounts and parental control yourself. You can also use ublock or other browser addons, and of course, NewPipe. Youtube should have more settings for this, it's clearly going down the drain, but it's not

I completely agree, I found it very funny that I have been transitioning from an "LLM sceptic" to a "LLM advocate", without changing my viewpoint. I have long said that LLM's won't be replacing swathes of the w

Spot on! I think LLM's can help greatly in quickly putting that knowledge in writing, including using it to review written materials for hidden prerequisite assumptions that readers might not be aware of that. It can also help newer hi

I think we should consider stricter restrictions on harmful advertising way before we rush to lock down the internet in order to "save the children". I don't understand why we have accepted that it's companies' God-

But they can't legally purchase/access it without the involvement of an adult, unlike social media. You could argue that the parents sanction social media use by giving their kids a phone/computer without any sort of parental

I think this is a good point. What differentiates alcohol and social media? Well, social media is not physically addictive, but it's pretty clearly psychologically addictive. Along those lines it would be hard to argue that children sh

I like it because it's based on Ubuntu, so there's almost always a working guide/solution targeting it. It also ships with Nvidia drivers which saves a lot of headaches for some users. To me the game-changer is the fact that

Not really, Linux evangelists are a thing because Linux is primarily held back by lack of adoption. A lot of common issues can be attributed to either: 1. The hardware manufacturer has never tested Linux support for drivers. 2. Some applica

Microsoft invested heavily in cloud, when LLM's came it was an obvious way to increase profits if they made everyone use their cloud for "AI". I don't think they realize just how much of the current LLM hype is just that

I feel like this is where LLM's/agents could actually help a lot. I don't like all the hype, and think that long-term projects would be better off without heavily written LLM code in any form, but stitching together stuff for

+1 for Home Manager, as someone who uses Nix extensively (NixOS for server, Nix devshells, Home Manager on my dev machine) it's by far the most versatile tool the Nix ecosystem has to offer!

Thank God you did. I hear of seniors who still do this shit with no real sense of style because they just assume that over-abstracting everything is always the correct thing to do. You're learning, not unlearning!

Yeah, and any of these philosophies are always terrible when you take them to their limit. The ideas are always good in principle and built on a nugget of truth, it's when people take it as gospel I have a problem. If they just read th

I think it's a leftover before proper LSP's, if you had to type/paste everything, that would be fairly tedious, but now-a-days everyone uses LSP's with autocomplete that have all the variables in scope. I do think very l

This is also one of the primary reasons I'll buy the Steam Machine. Sure I could build whatever myself, but I actually want proper hardware support. I also don't mind that the profit margin that I pay to make my life easier goes t

A lot of scripts and binaries don't work properly if not installed through Nix. This can really affect your workflow if you depend on random niche software not packaged by Nix. When I started my first job I couldn't build their Ty

I thought you used NixOS? Is it just your gaming system that's Fedora? Do you still use Nix?

I buy games for my steam deck, only stopping to read up if they're "unsupported". Surprisingly, they seem to often STILL work in that case, this happened with Ghosts of Tsushima, which was unsupported because their online pla

Keep an eye out for PopOS Cosmic. I have daily drived it since alpha with admittedly some issues, but I see the improvement! Unlike a lot of other "Just Works" distros, it actually has proper tiling, and unlike the specialized til

Hey, I remember seeing this like two years ago when researching Nixarr. Glad to see others focusing on NixOS for self-hosting stuff. I need to look into it again properly when I have time.

I use Nix (the package manager), works on pretty much any distro and has the largest package set of any package manager.

I would honestly just use an Apple TV. But the killer feature for me (I currently use a Steam Deck/Steam Controller) is just Youtube without ads reliably. Also total control, if Youtube jacked up the prices for Youtube Red, I always ha

I'd rather download music and buy LP's, especially from smaller artists, than having a Spotify subscription. They get a much bigger cut and I get something tangible, if unpractical. The only ironic part is that a lot of small arti

I like this, but it also leaves the door wide open to censorship. Also this would include Youtube which would be a marked detirioration in learning.

I use podman since I can simply enable it using home-manager: `services.podman.enable` This also means that it's in the reproducible part of my setup which is a bonus.

There is not a lot of free content out there comparatively. As for ripping yourself, that's fine, but usually it's: 1. Takes a lot more time. 2. Costs _a lot_ more money than streaming services. 3. Is _often_ illegal. You could sa
