  • I was not explaining my logic nor my beliefs, just describing my smol sample (introvert!), as a btw fun fact.

    But I was under the impression that there is no distinguishable difference between which OSs use programmes vs non-programmers (and the other way around).
    Perhaps bcs I fail to se any specific connection between the two. But yes, my logic would be that both types use and are used by both to roughly the same extent.

    (Haha, exactly same experience with relatives - forced them on Linux, never had anything non-trivial to fix since then.)

    VLC is one of the greatest achievements of the modern era imho (along with Linux, Wikipedia, etc).

    A good dev who didn’t sell out, fully FOSS, always up-to-date before-the-date, no nonsense or bloatware, no UI changes every month to get more engagement, etc.

    This is how all products of humanity with our level of tech should be like (even non-software).





  • The first two sub-6.0 episodes are clip shows.

    wiki S06E03:

    “Another Simpsons Clip Show” is the third episode of the sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 25, 1994. In the episode, Marge reads a romance novel in bed, and it prompts her to have a family meeting, where the Simpson family recall their past loves in form of clips from previous episodes.

    wiki S09E11:

    “All Singing, All Dancing” is the eleventh episode of the ninth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on January 4, 1998. In the fourth Simpsons clip show, Homer claims he hates singing, so Marge shows family videos of musical numbers from previous seasons. The episode is in the form of a sung-through musical, featuring spoken dialogue only at the start and end of the episode. The original material was directed by Mark Ervin and written by Steve O’Donnell. It was executive produced by David Mirkin. It features guest appearances from George Harrison, Patrick Stewart and Phil Hartman, although these are all clips and none of them recorded original material for the episode.
