Pay two people you meet on the street to hold a sign, I still don't call it employment. That question is a red herring.

What do you think his punishment for that should be? A fine? Because that is something we could agree on.

I just follow the news sometimes. I see the genocide in progress pretty frequently. Speaking of which, just saw this on my feed.

And looks like it's not a joke by some teenager this time.

I only watched like three videos of him. Hardly enough for me to claim to know somebody.

Never heard of this penny guy and all I know about Stallman, if we're talking about Richard Stallman, what i know is that he launched the GNU project and he's a free software activist.

What should I know about Stallman?

    By employing people, if you mean paid $5 on Fiverr for two people to hold a sign that said something controversial as a joke for one time, yeah let's call that employing people.

    I see people say worse on the regular, not as a joke, and these people get no where close to the shit piewdiepie gets.

    Also, he did apologize that the joke went too far. He didn't think they'd actually do it. No, making a joke doesn't mean he's antisemitic.

    And no I didn't memoryhole anything. I only found out piewdiepie after his Linux journey. Not everyone can be chronically online and/or are from a western country.

    I didn't do my research, so I'd rather you explain yours to me. I'm willing to hear you out.

    Funny story, when i first got into linux (almost a decade ago), I accidentally opened nano pasting some random command off the internet and didn't know how to close it because I didn't know what the ^ symbol meant.

    I had successfully been quiting (and using) vim for a few months at this point.

    Balatro won indie game of the year in 2024 and multiple other nominations. This resulted in many other copycat games as well, best described as balatro like. Basically took the whole genre by storm.

    Also the dev choose to not show up for the award, saying that he doesn't want the public attention and infamy to protect his mental health, and this probably led to a lot more respect for the dev

    I would assume not. I've never had to install a specific driver for a generic controller. My levered and leverless controllers worked out of the box. It's just plug and play.

    I would assume most controllers follow the usb hid standards and it's support is already built into the kernel. Same with Playstation controllers as well. Sony hid is inbuilt and steam hid is inbuilt. If the new controllers require new drivers it's going to be made a standard and be included in the Linux kernel so the controllers will be plug and play for all distros.
