Vice articles are one of two things:

  1. Technologically-ignorant #ifuckinglovescience articles written by "tech journalists"
  2. "Drugs are good, mmkay"

Is there really a shortage of these on the internet?

Pre-smartphones, my parents were always yelling at my brothers and I to stop texting at the dinner table.

Post-smartphones, it's now vice-versa and unless we remind them to put their phones on silent beforehand, their phones inevitably erupt in alarms at full volume reminding them to call Marianne back or whatever

I'm also amazed at how the Neon QA team (if one exists?) missed the fact that the update broke the Shut Down button. No worries, I can just shutdown via KRunner - oops, that doesn't work either anymore

Absolutely, v1 is the easiest Switch version to jailbreak. You could do it with a piece of foil or a $5 jig from amazon.

Not sure if you mean Switch ROMS or retro console ROMs, but a jailbroken Switch plays both, you'll just need to install RetroArch for retro games.

You sound like you're a bit new to software engineering/computer science, so I would stick to MacOS. Linux as a Desktop OS is not quite a pain-free experience and you'd likely run into issues that would get in the way of you learning programming.

What people mean by MacOS and Linux being similar is that they are both Unix-based, which basically means that the command-line experience in both OS's is pretty much the same.

Flatpak is fantastic for end-user GUI applications

Flathub is also great, but the fact that it's really the only repo that flatpak maintainers are using concerns me. I know I'm dreaming, but I would love to see some sort of federated or P2P hosting

Should’ve mentioned I meant 1080p. x265 or something equivalent is essential for 4k

I’d be interested to know how many of the streaming services natively offer x265. If it’s not many, then I could understand why release groups wouldn’t wanna re encode (e.g. it wouldn’t be a true WEB-DL anymore)

Companies don't even take risks anymore. They wait for some startup to take all the risks, acquire them, and integrate some partial abomination into their existing product

Probably around the time they took away pensions
