I feel this episode will always be my favorite. Fortunately its really easy to find: it's the first studio ep since the C-word

I think if L understood how github is typically used by devs it may make more sense. A plane has a lot of switches in the cockpit button. Why isn't there just a fly button?

Steam doesn’t have 8tb in games

“Save link as” is litteraly saving the webpage

The GitHub sequence was a bit irritating. The only valid points made was that GitHub's UX of downloading a file isn't great and that they should have a download button. The rest of it was hot garbage.

The Save As feature is a browser UX problem, not a website UX problem. You just blew the guy off for making a very valid point that you had no good response to.

My assumption is you used wget to get the script (that's the only method I can think of that would net you an html file with a .sh extension), and that's a UX problem of wget, not a UX problem with the website IMO. You could certainly argue that the URI could be better, and I would've accepted that as a valid criticism. Maybe they could've designed it so that every URI had `/html` or `/raw` instead. But the point of the URI is to make it easy to see where a file is relative the repo, which I think is a much more important UX experience than downloading individual files (IMO at least).

In any case, irritating to watch people double down on a valid criticism with bad/wrong arguments.

I like og switch more then the OLED version.

1:06:45 had m e dieing

I use energizer rechargeable AA and AAA

@13:27 Rechargeable batteries are 1.2v while alkaline are 1.5v. This small difference in voltage can often times make an item misbehave or not work at all. In reality we should ask for companies that make items that use alkaline to MAKE SURE they allow for low voltage rechargeable batteries.

Buy Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable batteries (Ikea whitelabels these) and a real charger with feedback on charging and you won't regret it.

Every time I hear Linus talk about whether or not Linux is user friendly enough to use over windows, It just feels like he completely misses the actual reason why the masses don't use Linux.

Linux adoption does not have to do with its user friendliness and Windows is not some how more user friendly than Linux in its base functionality. The issue is Windows is everywhere and Linux is not. Windows is sold with every computer and Linux is basically not. Linux's fragmentation and openness is also its biggest weakness as well as its biggest strength.

Its much easier to target Windows and make a game with Windows (or Mac) then it is for Linux and to justify that continued support. This is something that both of them touch upon with reasons why game development is usually focused on Windows support. Most developers are not going to take the time to support what essentially amounts to a very small portion of their market share and then have to decide which portion of that small percent they need to help because one Linux user is not representative of all Linux users due to different distros.

It would be one thing if Linux has a centralized store that developers can host their applications on that works on all flavors of Linux to a certain degree like Android. That is not the case. This particular issue really has nothing to do with whether some one knows the basics of navigating an operating system. It certainly has nothing to do with whether a file extension is representative of what you would like it to be.

If anything the fact that you can use so many desktop environments on Linux works against Linus' "You do not get to choose how people interact with your user interface" Statement. This is also why I stated that Linux fragmentation is also a strength. It allows users to customize their experience to a degree that Windows and Mac would never allow.

Talking about whether a layman can use the user interface is silly because the layman is going to use what every one else tells them to use. There are people out there that don't know how to use the minimize and maximize function of Windows. They still use Windows because they mainly use a computer out of necessity.

To be clear I am a Windows user. I have used Linux for fun in the past but I would never consider using Linux for gaming. The reason being is because Linux is mostly shunned buy hardware manufactures and software developers. This is what makes Linux "Hard to use". Until Linux can solve its development fragmentation issues and become a more unified platform where, instead of having to find an Ubuntu version or Fedora version or a Gentoo version or a what ever distro you have version, I can just use the "Linux version" of a software on all distributions. Linux will never take off until that is resolved.

The Steam Deck with its own distro of Linux is not going to magically fix this problem. Not unless they can create a solution that works ubiquitously across all flavors of Linux. Either that, or Valve will simply have a solution on their own distribution and every one will just use their distro if they don't want to use Windows and every other distro will simply be left to rot.
