Why are many men growing beards again ?
I'm a unix-guru.
If I were to shave I'd get a -5 penalty on my bash magic.
If I skip showers for a month I can interface directly with any device in /dev

How easy is it to switch back to windows?
It depends on how far down the rabbithole you go.
I switched to Linux 27 years ago. My wife asks me to help her with her Windows computer every now and then, and I can't really do it for more than a few minutes before my blood pressure is in the risk zone.

Founder and CEO of Telegram messaging service arrested in France
Looks like France is enforcing chat control 2.0 a bit prematurely.
The EU council is meeting to discuss it again on October 10. A new vote is likely in mid-December. Many parties and countries have turned their coat to support the proposal.

My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.
On the other hand.. consider if your cat had walked over the keyboard before it rebooted and replaced it all with hhhhgggggggggggggggggggghgf before it auto saved and replaced the document. Would you still be an advocate for auto save?
It sucks to lose work, but this is clearly a user error.

We have all universally adopted Rich Communication Services, which is an open standard.
Well, except for Apple. They haven't adopted it.

France considers approval of European chat control plan
Additionally, chat monitoring would not apply to accounts used for national security, investigations, or military purposes.
Why do they want to protect the pedophiles working for nations and militaries?

Someone left a 4 inch rock rock with a line circle carved in it in the dirt next to my door
People sometimes do this to scout easy targets to rob.
If it didn't move until their next burglary spree, you probably haven't been home since they planted it.
Put it away and ask around if your neighbours had something out of place in their front yard.

I do the opposite.

"I'll allow it."

Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

That was probably his stance when YouTube ad revenue was his stream of income.
In 2024 they pay pennies, and his real income is from sponsorships like those d-brand skins and manscaping utilities. And their own merch, of course.
They've been pushing their own media platform (floatplane), so I'm willing to bet this was a bit of a game of chicken with YouTube. YouTube wouldn't ban one of their biggest channels, and even if they did it'd turn into great publicity for floatplane.
While I don't think they'd be able to get a lot of their subscribers over to floatplane completely, I do think they'd be able to pull over lots of random views by having their shorts on Facebook, Instagram and whoever else is trying to mimic tiktok these days.

Singer sues hospital, says staff thought he was mentally ill and wasn't member of Four Tops
Something similar happened to this Finnish chainsaw juggler. He had just come back from performing at Kim Jong-Un's birthday and had a stubborn headache that wouldn't go away. Straight to the mental ward.
Article in Finnish, I'm sure Google translate does a decent job.

Attitude to Religion and its believers.
I treat religion like my penis.
It's ok not to have one.
It's ok to have one.
It's ok to be proud of it.
But don't display it in public, and don't shove it down people's throats.
And NEVER whip it out in congress.

Reddit Files to Go Public, Reveals That It Paid CEO $193 Million Last Year
Reply in thread
The article states that part of the compensation was stock and stock options. Likely incentive programs from previous years that finally paid off.
edit: looks like spez got 600k salary, and the rest of the compensation is solely based on the stock's performance.. and he can't cash that out unless someone is willing to buy all that reddit stock.
