The video was filmed in December of 2023 and he died in September of 2024. I’m glad he survived much longer than he thought he would, at least, but it’s a shame we lost him.
Rest in peace, Paul. You’ve earned it.

One of the worst things in my life is not knowing where my brain disorders end and where my personality begins. It feels like no matter what I do, I’m never good enough for myself.
Oh, I do know it. I’m just saying why it happens. It’s a very hard hole to crawl out of.
It’s the same reason people use porn, but for emotional fulfillment instead.
I had my Sonata stolen last year. The problem is that, by default, there was neither a key checker nor a steering immobilizer built into the vehicles. These are industry standard features for every car manufacturer… Except Kia and Hyundai. These are required features in every car sold in every Western nation… Except the United States. To have excluded this literal 90s tech from their vehicles when they’re so common that no one would ever stop to think about whether their car has them constitutes a serious lie by omission on the part of Kia and Hyundai, in my opinion. If I knew that all you had to do was rip off the ignition and shove something onto a peg to screw off with the car, I would have told the dealer to stick it up his butt.
For those wondering: I had comprehensive insurance, so I was paid the full value of the vehicle after it was totaled. I bought a Toyota Camry with the money and it’s a great car. I am never buying Kia or Hyundai cars again and I recommend everyone else avoid them from here on out. Like, if this is what they’re willing to do to save $30 per assembled vehicle, what else might be lurking in their newer vehicles that we won’t know about until it’s too late?
Electrical engineering. I’m not in the department that does all the heavy math, I mostly just do what people tell me to do. But there’s satisfaction in making something comprehensible, even elegant, and solving the few problems I come across in my work. It’s not artistic, exactly, but it’s still very easy for the hours to melt away.
I’m an engineer. I don’t usually spend more than a few hours on a single job, and there’s always something to do. My favorite thing is finding out how to do an unusual job and becoming the go-to guy for it.
Sadly, this won’t stop Google from killing off Manifest V2.
Those people are stupid. The entire point of having so many limits distros is so that every use case is covered. I’ve used Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, Arch, Void, even dabbled in Gentoo, and I can tell you that there’s a valid reason to use pretty much all of them, and also valid reasons not to use any particular one of them. “You do you” should be the dogma of the Linux community, not “You do me.”
I don’t know about Hunt, but War Thunder and Dota have official Linux clients.
Capitalism is, in essence, the ability for people to exchange their goods freely. It isn’t dependent on corporations or some weird hierarchy of managers and workers. Those are facts of living in this system, but it isn’t a direct consequence of “capitalism.” If everyone worked only for themselves and produced something to bring to the exchange, that would still be capitalism.
What does an economic system have to do with bad IT decisions?
I lost count of how many specific part numbers of defective Apple products he rattled off with the same design flaw, but that was a stunning display. Just exposed that they know these things are problems and just don’t care, because people will keep buying their products.
Until Discord either starts selling data to OpenAI or they start scraping data from/similar to sites like https://spy.pet/ .
I only really need something to keep track of my notifications, and maybe as a flashlight occasionally. So I just wear a PineTime, and it links up with my phone with Gadget Bridge. It’s really nice, completely free and open source, and it’s pretty cheap too. Week long battery life is nice, but I don’t know what it’s like with other smartwatches.
Right now it’s a little vague. I’m picking up bits and pieces of Python to automate stuff at my job.
I like having goals that I can achieve, whether that’s something at work I can knock out or a project I can work on at home.
Discord offers automatic compression for images uploaded from mobile, but not from desktop IIRC. It’s weird.
