QI (the British panel show) discussed this in an episode during social distancing where they had to perform with no audience: https://youtu.be/EKVD3n6Atl0 (it’s the first topic of conversation, not the whole episode of course)

My favourite bit is:

Alan: “I had a radio show in the late 90’s, and we were so funny that the people at the BBC comedy said we could use those laughs on nearly every other program we make. […] That was the best compliment I’ve ever had in my whole career. ‘We’ve kept your laughs, and we’re using them on other shows’.”

My guess: it’s a mouthful and not catchy. “Linux” is short, catchy and easy to pronounce. With “GNU/Linux” I don’t even know if I’m supposed to spell out the GNU or pronounce it as a word, and I don’t know if I’m supposed to say the “/” as “slash” or “plus” or “and” or if it should actually just be silent. I like to type how I speak, so if I don’t know how to say it I’m not going to write it, and I’m not going to like reading it.

I can totally see the merits for “GNU/Linux” but don’t underestimate the importance of catchiness. Maybe if it were shortened to “Ginux” it could stand a better chance, but then we’d have another gif situation.

and Windows 10 is obviously so outdated it’s not even worth including

Notes:

• I haven’t tried it myself
• (step 6) In Mint, instead of using the terminal, open that directory normally in the file manager, then right-click on an empty part of the directory and choose “open as root”. Both the file manager and the default text editor after you’ve opened the file will show red banners reminding you that they are running as root.
• (steps 3-4) I hope you are at least a little familiar with the registry editor on windows, otherwise these steps might be hard to follow

Me too, but Unexpected Keyboard is useful for niche situations that crop up.

Still works.

Development stopped on Hacker’s Keyboard in 2018(?) and people keep using it.

Take a look at Unexpected Keyboard too, it’s great and actively developed. F-Droid / GitHub / Play Store

A thing I did with Key Mapper from F-Droid lets me undo by pressing Volume Down + Volume Up, and Redo by pressing Volume Up + Volume Down (the order matters). If anyone’s interested I can share how to set it up.

Note that it’d work better and more seamlessly if you use Shizuku, but I don’t so there’s some caveats. I’ll happily go into more detail if anyone wants, just ask.

I didn’t, but as I said, I don’t feel like explaining it more than I did.

It’s the idea that water has memory, and that memory-water has healing abilities. I’m not going to explain it more than that but there’s no shortage of online sources to both explain it and disprove it.

Beware the binge trap! For I have succumbed to it time and time again.

Absolutely, I’m only commending the effort. It can’t be easy just to gather this many clips from different sources, let alone edit them like this to both highlight the problem and maintain the viewer’s attention - all without saying or explaining anything. It’s obvious from just watching it. It’s a masterpiece.

The Sinclair video is expertly edited.

Psychology, and sensible evolved repulsion from waste. MinuteEarth made a video about this, which you should watch (it’s only 2:53), but I’ll quote a key part: “we can trick ourselves out of our irrational disgust by doing irrational things like letting recycled water sit in tank for a while before we drink it.” Do see the full video for context.

It’s both negative and positive. I wasn’t aware of that rule, so good job pointing it out to me.

I do have ADHD and I experience most/all of these, I just never thought they are all directly traceable to ADHD. What I thought - which perhaps wasn’t clear - is that these are all distinct disorders, which are just as much out of one’s control as ADHD, but which are not necessarily symptoms of ADHD itself.

I did preface with “I’m no expert”, and I can see that I might be wrong. I’m happy to leave my comment up and let the downvotes and replies do their thing.

Very well. I shall never forget this experience.

You mean the thing any credit card issuer does anyway?

Alright, good to know.

For generic contactless payments at shops? Or some closed system that only works with other PayPal users?
