Woah, I have been watching all of this guy's videos recently, I love how deep he dives into niche topics. His video on segmented displays got me very interested in the clever desig…

Nice :)

Yeah, I guess probably "free software" was a more appropriate term

Unfortunately it seems like nowadays with open source being very widespread that many companies or people simply ignore/forget that these libraries that they include in their softw…

I think the gnome project deserves a mention here, their docs program is really complete, and covers many high level aspects of how to use the software. Most gnome apps also use it…

This article is from 1999, what do you mean?

I'm not defending Amazon

Yeah, it even seems very weird as well that a company would paint this image on themselves

This article is so wrong on so many levels. First off, Amazon is definitely not selling "suicide kits", let alone advertising them. What they really meant here is the automated "pe…

Yes and loads more. I don't use notepad++ on the daily but it is a far superior experience than whatever VSCode gave me

Agree with it being weird but intuitive != commonly known. Just because windows does it a certain way doesn't mean it is intuitive. It's just widely known and assumed. If GNU devel…

I'd say macOS actually is a lot more polished than Windows, but I agree with you that it is damn confusing. Try "closing" an app for example and you'll find that half the time it w…

Something to note which wasn't mentioned here is that `cd` is not a binary executable, but instead a shell command. You won't find it anywhere in /bin, /sbin and so on. That's also…
