From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No description... nothing? why should I click?

[–] halm@leminal.space 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh, you know... to enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

(I just stopped clicking youtube links on here, most of it is hot and/or dumb takes for superficial engagement)

Or alternatively to Profitez des vidéos et de la musique que vous aimez, mettez en ligne des contenus originaux, et partagez-les avec vos amis, vos proches et le monde entier.

I do not know why the YouTube link blurp is speaking French to me. It's been doing that for a week or so...

Suppose it's a sign that whatever anti-tracking precautions you've taken are working? You have Google guessing rather than knowing where in the world you are.

Thinking about it now, it's probably that the lemmy.ml server is in France or something and it requests the blurb info once, then I get it served from lemmy.ml.

Presumably, it would show French for you then, too, if you look at this same post on lemmy.ml: https://lemmy.ml/post/18149222

Ah oui, c'est vrai certainnement! Didn't know ML is Europe-based but that explains it.
