Side question:

Know a good place I can learn linux user/group/permission management?

I don't understand it well enough so I do a stupid amount of things as root...

There's nothing stopping it from harvesting the data (open tabs, bookmarks, history, etc) from Firefoxs files too.

Chrome just happened to be the non-edge browser the articles author was using.

I was spending a bunch of time fighting to get Windows to do what I wanted that I figured I might as well be doing all that work on Linux.

A damn good point.

I really got to get around to telling Microsoft to fornicate themselves with the wide end of a rake...

Mostly because they got there first tbh.

I started with Plex and was immediately unhappy with their always online model, shitty support, and data harvesting practices. (which has gotten significantly worse over the last few years)

Moved to Emby as the only alternative I'd heard of at the time (7 years ago), and was immediately impressed with how much easier it was to use, it's stability across all platforms I use, their friendly and helpful forums, and their stance on keeping your server your own (no telemetry or dependency on external servers). I pretty quickly purchased a lifetime premier license and it's never failed me.

From there I learned of Jellyfin but by then had no reason to move. Beyond that, I'm just not really a fan of Jellyfins origins (ie forking emby because they didn't like Embys licencing) and their development has regularly lagged behind the others largely because they lack funding to keep a dev team AFAIK. (keep in mind thats an opinion from a distance, I don't pay much attention to Jellyfin as I'm happy with Emby)

Edge re-installing itself after I've manually taken ownership of its files and purged them from the system 6 fucking times is what's going to finally drive me to abandon windows and go full linux.

I just haven't had the time or energy to rebuild my software stack on a still pretty new to me OS. (emby, the Arrs, Ombi, nginx, and more)

I setup a debian machine a while ago and have been slowly trying to get used to it while migrating a few things, but It's hard when windows is so engrained in most of what I've done on pc.

I kinda miss swapping mp3s via Bluetooth on my flipphone at lunch, because we only had the space for 3-4 of em, so you had to swap with friends to get fresh music throughout the week.

That was presumed by those that have watched it (myself included), but this is the first it's been confirmed AFAIK. The special itself claimed to be AI written, but people weren't buying it.

You posted an article you didn't write, people reacted to the article (mainly its title), you took people's reactions as a personal attack while simultaneously claiming no responsibility for what people are actually reacting to.

Grow the fuck up.

This 'beating' you're refering to; ie the continued downvotes, is because you continue to act like a god damn child.

To answer your question directly:

Yes, complaining about people reacting to someone else's content you've posted as if they are personally attacking you is incredibly immature.

So is continuing to tantrum about it once your poor behaviour has been explained to you repeatedly.

It's called 'George Carlin: I'm glad that I'm dead'. Have a look around, the original upload was removed, but there are others.

Just finished it:

It's an interesting piece. I'm not sure I'd pay to watch it or any other AI comedy specials (didn't even watch it via YouTube to avoid ad revenue), but given free access I wanted to at least see what's up.

It both starts and ends with very clear disclaimers that this is not George Carlin but an AI impersonation of him. The voice is pretty close, but not quite right, though it matches his cadence quite well. Even without the disclaimers, it's pretty obvious to me it's not actually George Carlin.

The majority of the video is clearly AI generated art to match the current topic, mostly stills with a handful of short sections of AI people mouthing the words. I'm fairly sure the script and art were curated by a human, along with the overall editing of the special.

Quite a bit of highly political comedy in a very similar style to Carlin, but definitely doesn't hold a candle to his original/genuine work. It also discusses what he/it is, some of the controversy around it's existence, and the possible future of AI use throughout all professions, but mainly standup comedy roles and similar (like talk show hosts and news anchors for example)

Worth a watch, if you can keep an open mind and recognize there's a difference between the original and an artistic representation of him. I don't think the tools used changes that, especially with it clearly stated as being an impersonation.
