You're very smart.

Meh, I used Gentoo in its literal first release off a DVD with only printed instructions for a stage one build on an old Pentium II. No internet or anything to fall back on. Learnt a hell of a lot (like don't select Firefox and Open Office and do an emerge world as your first package step after the initial boot because it took literally a week to compile with no indication when it would be done). Definitely have a soft spot for Larry the Cow but after running that setup for a couple of years I feel I've taken what I needed from Gentoo.

Would recommend it to anyone who wants to dig in and really learn what makes their system tick, but not as a daily driver. I feel for me Arch hits the sweet spot, but was happy with Debian/Ubuntu too (at least until Ubuntu went to shit with snaps).

I think a register for each of the primes should be enough.

As someone starting up a custom t-shirt printing business desperately in need of building a customer base, I condone this message.

That doesn't look quite right.

Took a look at it and it didn't grab me. Different preferences for different people. I hope Helix continues to grow but I've no interest in it myself.

You're thinking of a neutron. They are from memory a tiny bit heavier than a proton. Neutrinos are tiny.

I love the idea of MOND but it does seem like evidence is not in its favour overall. I remember getting an (I think) Scientific American magazine that featured it and I thought the idea sounded awesome. Unfortunately the universe doesn't care what we think haha

I prefer paru these days.

Just did a quick search and this video came up. Maybe it will help point you in the right direction?

Nothing wrong with it. I use kitty these days but when I used gnome I had no problem with gnome terminal for one off jobs and some variation of the quake terminal type apps for things I wanted to be ongoing in the background. My usage style has changed a lot since then but I'd happily use it again if I went back.

But his "serious" videos are just like this too, so not sure who he is supposed to be parodying; himself?

 

Hi all!

We have just passed 100 subscribers (massive number I know haha) and I thought it would be a good opportunity to touch base and see what we should do here to increase engagement.

As most of you likely know, I am still a mod over at "the other site" and, though I have strong feelings about what they are doing as a company, I feel the community there has a lot of good people so I intend to continue to perform that role (the "glorified janitor" as one user kindly pointed out).

Having said that, I don't want this place to just be a mirror-universe version of r/judo. Lemmy and similar platforms are built around community first and foremost, and I would love to see that side of things grow.

Access to automated mod tools etc. is obviously much more primitive over here (feel free to leave suggestions if you have any) so automated posts and such are likely to be more difficult for now, but is there anything y'all wish we could do here?

Obviously one of the big draws of r/judo is the amazing wiki that Geschichtenerzaehler has put together and I have no intention of stealing that for here (though I'd be happy to copy it here if he was okay with it of course). We don't have anything like that, however I'd love to hear what you all think we could do to make this more than just a dumping ground of a few videos here and there.

Cheers!

One of my students sent me this link and I think I'll be digging into the details for ages.

Watching this is like seeing "my game" but actually performed properly haha

Great use of similar entries to set up throws in different directions, depending on uke's reactions.

 

Came across this again while looking for a video for a student.

Some absolutely amazing detail and movement. Every time I watch it I get something new.

 

Extremely underrated channel.
