To be fair. His farming ventures have moved his opinion on climate in a positive direction. People can change their mind and that is a good thing. I would even go as far as calling it a very good sign that even a person as stubborn as the great ape Clarkson can change their opinion on this matter is absolutely fantastic. Good on Clarkson! And fuck the other guy for shoving up the past in his face when he is trying to be better.

Oh that's interesting. So I guess it is for brand recognition or something.

What is that deep green stuff? Or is that just a filter making it look alien green 👾

Are you guys ok over there? I know there is a political division in your country. But this is some kind of braveheart speech before starting an actual civil war. It can't be that bad, you are the richest country in the history of this planet what kind of reality is these idiots living in?

I can recommend running it on new hardware. I love that it runs great on old hardware, but it is a bit of a disservice to Linux distros that people always experience it on raspberry pies and other old laptops or otherwise relatively slow hardware.

Linux on a brand new hardware is insanely good.

Edit: software => hardware

Thats must have been horrifying to experience, very tragic. My thoughts go out to their families and the people of the village.

I do it already at work! Windows runs great in qemu.

There is a few things that we still need to move away from, app wise, that requires windows. But already I solve 95% of my work tasks in Linux. We will soon move all terminal computers in our production lines to Foss software and new stations run Ubuntu. Linux runs lighter and cheaper and easier to maintain and update and replace. We are super happy about it.

Best thing is, it will only get better!

Ja, of course. Point being that my friends have not considered the rest for becoming completely self-sufficient. They are very much into tech and less so in food preservation and gardening

I still think these channels are very technical. Using jorgon that is completely foreign to someone just strictly using their computer to get work done. I am pretty deep into the different topics and even I had have to look up what they talk about.

I think you have found a nieche to fill. Problem is when you don't really deep dive the topics or it is strictly educational, you might get bored if you are a somewhat technical person, that is not a great recipe for a YouTube channel. You will probably also have to remake the videos as software gets updated.

Also most viewers är linux nerds. The average person don't spend all day at a computer at work just to go home and 'work' more by spending time watching a videos on how to work more. That means you should probably target companies and organizations directly with your content, that could be a hard sell if you expect to make an income.

With all that said, I like the idea and even if you only make a few videos you will probably learn alot, try it and see how you like it!

Yes it is very interesting. I have friends who buy solar panels and home batteries with one of the ideas being in case of emergency being able to go complete 'island'. I argue that is all well and good, but within 1h the broadband, and 4g/5g does down, any longer than that you can't even make a phonecall from a regular cellphone and your smarthouse will probably not work anymore because it requires an active connection. After a few hours all the food at the nearest supermarket will be spoiled and thrown away. My point being, it is very nice idea in theory to get all this tech but I think you have to realize how dependent you still are of the infrastructure around you. And even if you have heat and light for yourself it does not really give you much more time being comfortable in a crisis, best case you can cook a few more meals and have the light on for maybe a day longer than your neighbors, but that is it.
