My dad used to do this shit all the time. He would be like "let's clean the house" but what he really meant was "You clean the house."

I get about 30 dollars a month in Interest in my savings account. Is that not passive?

You really don't need to use the terminal if you don't want to. The only reason so many people use it is because it's usually the most efficient way to get stuff done, and it's easier to show a terminal command than it is to show how to do something on each and every desktop since they all vary slightly.

When it comes to installing apps, Linux is actually not that different from how you install them on your phone. Most distros will have some kind of software center that you can use to install apps. Check here first before searching online. Most apps are NOT downloaded using your web browser.

Stick with a distro that's been around forever. Newer distros have a lot of buzz, but they lack support and you'll eventually come across a problem that you won't know how to solve.

I keep telling people but if they keep using ad blockers, then they can expect less content to be available for free. Yet they all want to act like they're not responsible for this trend even though they are.

Reddit wants you to call them communities too, but most people still call them subreddits or subs.

Cautionary Tales has some good episodes that I've listened to more than once. My favorite one is called Bowie, Jazz, and the unplayable piano.

I remember Google saying like 2 decades ago that it was actually their goal to get you off of their website as quickly as possible. If you clicked on a link, and then clicked back in less than 30 seconds, then Google would consider that search result to be not what you were looking for.

These comments are proof that The Onion peaked like 15 years ago. They just haven't been as funny since then.

Void is by far the fastest booting distro I've ever used. I like how it allows you to load the boot USB into RAM and I wish every distro did that.

My understanding is that these fingerprints are specific to your device and don't get stored in the cloud. If you buy a new phone, then you'll have to rescan your fingerprints.

Real call of duty hacks free

They banned the infamous turtle mod. Not because he was a horrible and abusive mod, but because he protested Reddit's API changes that killed third party apps. It just sends the message that as long as you align with the company, then you can abuse their users all you want.

The thing is, Apple phones do support these things, but only if they change the default messenger app, and most Apple users won't do that. IPhone users are worse than Windows users when It comes to changing their default apps.

DeArrow has a bad habit of renaming videos that don't need to be renamed. For example, 'History of the Entire World I Guess' was renamed to 'History of the World.' Ain't nobody clicking on that.

I remember when metalheads would not shut the fuck up about Justin Bieber back in the 2010s. They were obsessed with hating him.
