No you’re right, it’s mostly stereotypes that don’t have any real world importance. From my intermediate POV, it comes down to GNOME being a resource hog which the 1337 H4X0Rz don’t like. But with most modern systems having more than enough resources to spare, you’re not likely to notice unless you’re the sort to always have one eye on the system monitor pegged to your desktop. It’s an argument for the sake of an argument. I use KDE btw.

Absolutely not. It was sold to a third party with nebulous privacy policy among other annoyances. Get you some Bleachbit.

I agree with the general sentiment here that please don’t, but, if you must, I think it would be cool to practice in secret until you get really, really fucking good at it, then just switch over all at once. Preferably with a large audience. Just be giving a presentation at work and go from Liverpool to Indianapolis, mid-sentence.

Ho boy, this could have been long. But here’s just a few TV tracks:

“Junk” by Jane Air, from The Boys. Sounds like 1999-2000 rap rock with punk, but I can’t understand most of it and it fucking STOMPS.

“White Widow” by Afterhours, from Mr. Robot. Just good hard rock with some tension that fit the scene well. There’s the original Italian version out there as well.

“Something for your M.I.N.D.” by Superorganism, from Legion. I absolutely hated the direction this show went beyond the first season, and I only watched the last season on some (bad) advice. This song had a trippy backdoor music video in one of the last episodes, which was easily the highlight. Lo-fi electropop with half-sung, half-spoken goofy (good) lyrics.

“The Box” by Fad Gadget, from The Americans. Paranoid as fuck 80s electropop. It has this blaring melody that will get into your head. The Americans has a reputation for its musical cues, and this was probably my favorite.

when you play a Nickelback record backwards, you hear satanic messages. worse, when you play it forwards, you hear Nickelback.
