avg SF techie: “i use mac cause it’s easier, linux is scary” grandma: “so i’m using the debian 12 version of linux and this is how you use FFMPEG”

this is andrea borman on youtube, linux is truly for the people:

she's actually 25. using debian aged her harsher.

Did you see her last video? "How to Configure and Maintain High Availability/Clustering in RHEL8 VMs with multiple nodes"

This is some kind of bizarro alternate reality where the boomers are good at computers 😂🤣

I stumbled upon her youtube channel because the algorithm god wanted it so and I was just so utterly enamoured with her. The best YT comment pointed out how she called out the installation process bloated for installing the background process for mplayer. If the people building LangChain/LLamaIndex etc. had that mindset we'd be living in floating crystal spires working towards leaving this dimension.

i need to reflect on my biases after watching this.

Also grandma: I had such a bad experience interacting with linux users that I quit using it for 10 years:

If she says she walked 5 miles to school, through the snow, uphill both ways, I’m inclined to believe it.
