  • there used to be more, but now news is the main thing.

    in olden times (of 2021), distro reviews/why linux is better/software showcase were the main things.

    there were folks like luke smith (not going to his political shit) would do demos for things like groff/troff (imagine a latex alternative, now it is pretty much only used for man pages). but you get the idea - they would demo software, use it, compare it.

    there is tle, who did lots of lists (like x amount of tools from elementary os which are great), linux cast would do file manager reviews, brodie would cover commandline stuff.

    now pretty much all 3 of them do news. I still watch brodie because his news at times is niche and kinda fun, but i really do not want to hear lkml drama (which is non existent).

    one of the youtubers which got me into linux was mental outlaw. he made tonnes of privacy/security/anonymity related videos back then, and occasional covered hacking news. i started trying to make windows more private (it truly started from try to make wwindows leaner), and then he, and tle got me into linux.

    now i do not watch almost any of them. (except brodie, and occasional tle and tlc)

    why all went to news - it is easier to make.





  • as a indian - consider it uplifting.

    for some reasons (i would not elaborate here, but islamophobia and believing in ethnic supremacy of whites) many indians support israel (i would like to say a significant (majority) part of population, much of which is located in certain regions in our country). also our current govt is pro israel, but due to traditionally having “fine” relations with palestine as well, they have officially taken the 2 state stance.

    yes it is one part hope and one part cope, but seeing examples of my countryfolk not being “braindead” is uplifting to me
