https://knaben.org/ is an aggregator. I dont sail often, but if i do, and i know what i want is not very recent (like made available in last week) then i go there first

it does now, most important feature in gim3 is non destructive layers

On a 3rd point, I’ve seen official softwares detect when they’re being run in VMs or similar, so maybe that’s what happened.

this is becoming more common afaik. why blow away your cover in a vm where you would not even get much (unless you are just a miner, but even then performance is worse), especially when checking if we are running in a vm is reaaly easy.

(not a windows user so maybe wrong). afaik it is effectively a vm (or something like docker sharig kernel, but not filesystem, but not sure) where you can test a executable. it is only available to pro accounts though (so not the vast majority of home and oem installs).

or comms as well

veronica is great, but she posts much rarely. i guess we can only choose quality or quantity.

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.

if anything, linux is now the youngest it has ever been (in terms of younger people using it, earlier it was almost all neckbeards, and i only have a tiny beard)

maybe try to use the newer qwen stuff via their api. they give free tokens of certain amount on signup
