From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, I hate human faces on youtube video thumbnails.

I want to see a preview of the content instead of being biologically exploited into clicking on it.

For anyone who feels the same way: https://dearrow.ajay.app/

Ok then, but you're very much in the minority. People wouldn't do it if it didn't work.

You're saying it's biological exploitation? So do you have a dog? Do you play fetch with it? Or is that biological exploitation? Is it biological exploitation for food companies to monopolize on our taste buds? Just curious where you are getting these ridiculous claims. You do know that you can mouse over a video to get a preview of the content, right? Look up the definition and purpose of a YouTube thumbnail. Tell me what you find.

Is it biological exploitation for food companies to monopolize on our taste buds?

Yes. Thats the only reason why there is so much sugar in everything. Which is rather unhealthy, but we keep eating it because sugar makes us want it.
