Well, you know the old adage: "Good artists copy, great artists steal"
Ehhhhh, I don't know if I agree with this.
American "culture" has had a whole bunch of definitions, usually changing with the decades. For most of the 20th century, you could point to something and say "That's American"; things like milkshake bars and greasers, anything surrounding the hippie movement (that we actually probably stole from somewhere else), and... Whatever that strange design of random shapes the 90s had.
After 2000, there hasn't been really anything that stands out, in part due to the rise of the internet, and in another, the dangerous build environment. In order to have culture, people need to congregate in a place and create something meaningful. Because Americans go to work and then go home, often with little-to-no time in between from long commutes, they have no time to create the next "culture moment".
That was the hyperbole part of the post

Linux is great about providing that feeling of discovery. New tools, new processes, new paradigm... It's the best way to breathe new life into an old piece of hardware.
If this is your first major step, congratulations! If you're a regular, great job, keep it up; eventually you'll be a grey beard with the rest of us.
Me, whose going to start studying EE: 😭
I'd love to kick some money his way, but he only has two tiers: $20/mo and $100/mo. I think he could get a lot more donations if he started with a $5/mo tier.
I think he'd also do well to make a "this is why you should use bcachefs of ext4" sort of post to bring awareness to the project and its benefits.
My brother in Christ, this is the exact reason why we are pushing for better public transportation and reduced car dependency.
We dream of a world where, god forbid your car breaks down, you can make it to work within roughly the same amount of time whether you walk, bike, or take the bus. And this isn't even a fantasy, this dream is alive and well in The Netherlands, Japan, even fucking Disneyland.
We just need to actually start taking Public Transit seriously in this country so that it can improve.
He's a pretty decent drop-in replacement. I thought for sure I'd notice a difference from the promo video at the end of the article. Even though there is a minor difference, it's so negligible you could easily just pretend Charles had a cold in the booth.
It's a lot better than the Sonic Voice Actor fiasco Sega has had.
Surprisingly enough, guys who have hair like this have a 100% chance of stealing your girl.

If I'm honest, video games and computers in general. The community has some to do with it, I guess, but more because the people making them just seem to not care about the customers at all anymore.
If I had to put my feeling into words, its that they try to make things at the smallest possible cost with the highest return possible, including throwing ads into everything (making for a poorer experience for the users), while simultaneously making everything bland so they can appeal to everyone.
Ten years ago, I loved video games, and now the only "next-gen" console I have is a Switch and a Steam Deck. I used to be a huge Windows fan, but now I can hardly stomach Windows 11, and run Linux exclusively as much as possible.
Big tech ruined tech. Big video games ruined video games.
