+1 for MeTube. its easy to set up, works out-of-the-box for the unraid docker container (unlike others)

the wikipedia article on the song 'Break Free' by Ariana Grande mentions the TV show 'The Good Place' in its article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Good_Place its a good show, and i believe its what youre looking for :)

Outer Wilds. not only is it a fantastic game, but the entire premise and gameplay is centred around discovering the world. theres no progression, the story is all diagetic and not quest-bound or anything, and once you know the world you cant really discover it any more (unless you forget)

it works pretty well as a recap episode, and as a teaching moment. covers, broadly, the events of the show up to that point (which, remember, is several years of airing and you might have missed a chunk of it), all while coating it in propaganda for the characters to reflect on and for the viewer to learn about. i remember being a kid and being outraged that the events were being portrayed wrongly, and it was a big learning point for me.

it sucks, and it is absolutely necessary for some communities. i work for a small game company and we have one or two people that have gone to extreme lengths to contribute hate and saltiness to everyone there. im talking dozens of alt accounts made over the course of years. discord provides the tools for these verification paths. its a choice on behalf of the discord managers to enforce the different levels of verification, but it is absolutely discord that stores and verifies that data. we've tried other methods before, like alt identifier bots, and ive been in communities that do personal ID verification, and neither of those are trustworthy. discord is doing their best, and the kinds of people that complain about these things either are ignorant of the challenges such communities face, or are themselves the problem.

also not quite the same thing, but Jodorowsky's Dune is a doco about a version of the Dune movie that never got made. also the older Dune movie by David Lynch is not good, but a ride none the less!

Mad Max: Fury Road also fits this. not quite what was asked, but a good ride!

something people havent mentioned yet but that i ran into as a problem: qmk doesnt support per-key lighting in the sense that you cant have specific colours for each key. it supports per-key lighting in the sense that you can do effects, but you cant set the alphas to be a different colour from the ergo keys, for instance.

to a new person, those tutorials and manuals are the "random code and unknown commands" that i spoke about in the above comment. i thought i made that very clear. nothing is known until it is learned, and things cannot be learned without practice. practice leads to initial failure, and the frustrations with that are what the linux challenge was about.

[–] Construc_ 35 points 1 year ago (7 children)

the problem with a lot of these recommendations though is that to a non-linux user: all code is random, and no commands are understood. you only learn by doing, and if you cant do until you know, you'll never get anywhere. you gotta make a few mistakes to learn anything, and thats what happened. yea he paid the stupid tax, but so does everyone else while they learn a new thing. that was the entire point of the challenge: how hard is it? and it turns out, quite! info is scattered, theres lots of commands and code that sounds like it'll do what you want but is actually a bad idea (as evidenced by the recommendations you point out), and things can break easily. thats the video.
