Paul took the clips in stride, initially putting on a grave voice and decrying that “this AI is getting out of hand,” only to buy into the trend by acting camp in a response video posted to TikTok on Monday.

Proof? That video response sounds like AI.

But his girlfriend, Dutch professional speed skater Jutta Leerdam, wasn’t impressed. “I don’t like it, it’s not funny!” she told him in a video. “People believe it.”

Proof? That video sounds fake. Maybe this is all a ruse by the girlfriend to slander Jake Paul.

I don’t actually believe that, but this article is written based on videos uploaded to TikTok, there is no proof any of the events described took place.

Things are about to get much worse.

I’ve used dropbear in the past and it always feels a little janky, but it works well.

I would suggest whatever you pick, it should be a similar base to what you run or are most familiar with.

If you run something Debian based, you should recommend something Debian based. Fedora, Arch, etc.

The same is also true for desktop environments, if you use KDE, recommend KDE. If you run something not necessarily beginner friendly, recommend what you’re familiar with.

At some point you’re going to be asked questions, so the more familiar you are, the better for both of you.

Wouldn’t that depend on what you’re watching?

You can watch reality TV on YouTube, or traditional television.

You can watch educational content and documentaries on YouTube, or traditional television.

Hell you can watch some traditional TV shows on YouTube or traditional television.

YouTube is just a platform for hosting content. Now they may have a “better” algorithm compared to traditional television, but that doesn’t really change much.

Computers were either Windows or Mac, they couldn’t be anything else, that was a fact. Then I saw someone using Linux and had so many questions. How? I was given a Knoppix live CD, went home, and booted my home PC into Knoppix and it changed my perception of computers.

I didn’t change over immediately but eventually Ubuntu was handing out install CDs and YouTube was full of wobbly windows and desktop cubes. It wasn’t useful but it looked cool.

I still needed Windows for gaming, but for day to day it was so much easier to use Linux.

Eventually my gaming was exclusively on the Switch and then was I was looking to play certain PC games the Steam Deck was available, so I bought that.

I think Windows 8 was the last one I used and I’ve never had any desire to go back. Linux is just easier.

I mean technically you did “update” the OS. It wasn’t a particularly useful command by going second, but I bet it was fast.

But us in the middle who pretend we’re smart

The trick you’ll learn is that everyone is just pretending. The more your learn the more you realize you don’t know.

Even with this lead time, some OEMs struggle to roll out security updates for all their devices each month. In fact, many don’t even commit to monthly security updates for their entire lineup; their update policies often stipulate that budget and mid-range devices only qualify for bi-monthly or quarterly patches.

Which is to say that most OEMs aren’t making monthly releases. It’s a sad state of affairs.

Google has put a lot of effort into making the process for OEMs easier. Project Trebel to simplify updates. Project Mainline to move updates to be pushed via Google Play. (The small downside being you now need Google Play, but users do now get security updates.

Now the answer seems to be fewer updates. OEMs weren’t doing them, but maybe if they’re smaller? It’s probably better that end users get some updates rather than none.

After you updated the config did you update-initramfs or update-grub (I forget which flags might be needed off hand).

Since this is happening pre-boot it isn’t reading from /etc.

who needs the web?

Generative AI that’s who. For it to spit out information, it needs information. The argument may be that it is better at collecting all that information in one place and returning an answer, although we know it hallucinates responses. But to even begin a response it needs data, it needs the web.

Honestly, yeah. Based on this article the pitch is, “What if FireOS were successful?”

This is an even harder problem today versus when FireOS first launched. The number of things that are now part of Google Play Services versus Android has only increased over the years.

Before Arch that role belonged to Gentoo.

To add, before the change the Gentoo wiki was a top resource when it came to Linux questions. Even if you didn’t use Gentoo you could find detailed information on how various parts of Linux worked.

One day the Gentoo wiki died. It got temporary mirrors quickly, but it took a long time to get up and working again. This left a huge opening for another wiki, the Arch wiki, to become the new top resource.

I suspect, for a number of reasons, Arch was always going to replace Gentoo as the “True Linux Explorer”, but the wiki outage accelerated it.

…because the author is an investigative journalist?

We all know it’s a scam, but it’s their job is to prove it. To prove it you have to (attempt to) buy it.

I agree any actual people trying to buy it are morons.

I assume it’s done that way to prevent an IDN homograph attack.

For example if I sent you a link to “gооgle.com” you’d be like, sure. Except that isn’t a link to “google” it’s a link to “gооgle.com”.

This is Lemmy so…

BEANS!

Linux has two ways of drawing pictures, the old way (Xorg) and the new way (Wayland).

The old way is like a giant box of crayons with the crayon sharpener built in. The box is all marked up, the sharpener is full of gunk, and a few crayons are melted together. Nobody really wants to touch the old box of crayons, although it does work for the most part, it’s a familiar box.

The new way is like a smaller box of crayons. The clean sharpener isn’t built in but it is available nearby, although some people say it doesn’t work as good. A few crayons are missing, but are available in most cases, they’re just not in the box. Most people are working to improve the new box.

If you’re using Linux, the new box of crayons is generally the better choice. It’s ok to stop using the old box.

To extend this, that includes YOU giving your key to another application to decrypt those messages.

For example if you use an app or browser extension, that app or browser extension has access to that key. Additionally the browser itself or operating system had access to the key.

Now they may be fully audited. They may have a great reputation. You may trust them. But they are part of the decryption (and if sending encryption) process.

It’s a chain of trust, you have to trust the whole chain.

See but I would argue that five different version numbers across five different operating systems is broken. (Ok two of them do match up.)

Specifically the watchOS version is the important one that stands out. watchOS version 1 works with which version of macOS? Which version of iOS or iPadOS?

Also when it comes time to end support for devices, how do you keep track? If Apple provides 5 years of updates, do you know if your phone is still supported?

If my phone is running iOS 14, is that supported? Is that new? Is that old?

The key thing to keep in mind is that the entirety of this ecosystem is based on yearly releases.

Just for “fun” let’s look at Windows. The current version is 11. It was released in 2021. So I guess as long as I have Windows 11, I am up to date. But… That’s not true. Windows 11 does have a version number that’s not directly end user facing. That version is 24H2.

Now the “24” is the year, that’s useful. Now what’s stupid is the “H2”. Because sitting here in June 2025 I would expect “25H1” to be released anytime now. But Microsoft only used the H1 once, about five years ago. Now “Window 11 version 24H2” is better SEO vs “Window 11 version 24”, so maybe that’s why they kept it.

How would you prefer they handle it?

Just to look at macOS version history,

The first public release was “Mac OS X 10.0”, this continued until “Mac OS X 10.7 Lion”. The “big cat” became part of the marketing name because the OS & version were a mouthful and throwing numbers around wasn’t helpful.

We drop the “Mac” next year, then switch to mountains, but it’s not long before we reach, “OS X 10.10” aka “OS ten ten ten”.

Well it wasn’t long before we simplified further and just said “macOS”, but then took a while before we dropped the “10”. Now we just get “macOS 15 Sequoia”.

For nearly 18 years the Mac operating system had an unnecessary “10” that conveyed zero information.
