Gentoo. They're talking about Gentoo.

I've managed to banish all but one windows and one osx install from my house. What's stopping me is a bazillion little windows utility programs for things like updating firmware on radios and such, and some hardware integrated commercial software: Ableton Live, and Serato DJ. I've tried lmms, mixxx, ardour, xwax, and many others. I just haven't been able to be creative with making and mixing music with the open source tools out there. Mixxx is getting really close, but doesn't have video integration last I checked.

I keep asking these two companies when they will put out a build for linux and have been met with varied responses from corpo garbage to laughter. It's disappointing.

He's not losing his home, it's the bank's home, being passed along to a new owner. He literally voted for what's happening right now, you reap what you sow.

How many pairs of underwear do you have? How many screwdrivers? After you pass 2 of something, it becomes something you don't keep in mind. I know where all the guns I have that are not in the safe are around my house (no kids), but I have to take mental inventory to get a count of how many I own. Same thing with computers, rc cars, and other hobbies.

Bo Burnham sounds like a fucking idiot. Despite his size, Goliath was defeated by a well placed projectile.

No shade to your parents, but they were teaching you wrong. It only takes a few hours of good instruction to properly drive a stick, and it's not about timing, it's about clutch feel.

You start by sitting on your right foot (like half Indian style) so that only your left foot can work the controls. Push in the clutch and find 1st. Let out the clutch until you feel it just start to grab and the car starts to move forward. Clutch back in a bit to keep from stalling, then back out until you are idling forward in 1st. You are gonna stall the engine A LOT here. This is the most important foundational skill. Keep practicing until you can start the car moving with the clutch alone. Then, using both legs now, add a bit of gas and shift to 2nd, then back to a stop. Should be a small addition to what you now know.

Next, we learn to reverse. Hold the engine from neutral at 800 to 1200 rpm (don't rev the nuts off it) and let the clutch out to the friction point again. The clutch is like an inverted gas pedal in an automatic. Push the clutch pedal in to slow down, let it out to speed up.

All that's left after that is figuring out starting uphill. You are going to stall it a few times, but in two weeks of driving a manual, you'll be good at it. Only thing from here is double clutching, which doesn't buy you much since syncros were added to transmissions.

Can also fix a carb and write code too. Skills are useful!

Using a dongle is in no way a replacement for a real headphone jack. A dongle on a phone is a one way ticket to a broken usb c port. It's not meant to be pocketed with a dongle attached. Headphone ports are supported and able to better handle the stress (if made properly).

Just give us a phone with the single most common port in use by our species that is standardized across all nations on our planet: 3.5mm audio port. I don't care if it makes the decice .0000001mm thicker. I don't care if it adds $.01 to the BOM cost of the phone. Go fuck yourself, manufacturers, I WANT MY GODDAMN HEADPHONE JACK BACK YOU BASTARDS!!!

Every time I try to slow down my car, I hear chopped up and recontextualized Amens...

I'm delusional, then. Spotify hasn't paid me a red cent, but piracy has indirectly put money in my pocket and food on my table.
