Leaves the help/tips app icon in the dock. Proof Mark Rober is a psychopath.
This is already clear from using GNOME and Ubuntu
For the uninitiated, who’s Mark Rober?
LDS former NASA engineer that makes silly devices and gadgets. Some interesting videos, though he’s big into the clickbait game. Seems at least relatively sincere in his push for encouraging interest in STEM with children, though he can be a bit “flash over substance” for my tastes. But he is better then a lot of others I’ve seen in that regard.
he’s big into the clickbait game
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Smarter Every Day did a video on using clickbait titles and thumbnails. The data is clear: everyone complains about it, but it performs far better than anything else on YT. And if the goal is to most efficiently spread educational videos to the largest number of people, then unfortunately, it’s really the only option.
TBH, the tone isn’t that different from Bill Nye. Wacky colors, loud obnoxious personality, gotta get kids excited about science somehow.
SED also uses the clickbait tactics, so I wouldn’t exactly consider them an ubiased source. They’re also all profiting from these tactics. Let’s not pretend it’s just some virtuous sacrifice to “teach the kids”.
In the rock paper scissor robot video he went full mr beast. Good channel going down drain.
I agree! I liked his videos, but lately, I can’t watch his videos anymore…
Let’s burn him at the stake for supporting snap
\s
You act as if Snap was bad in any way. Proprietary backend does not equal bad.
Edit: Most people don’t care about FOSS vs proprietary. And the snap client is FOSS anyways, plus it’s capable of installing snaps from local files.
I will not use a system with snap and has nothing to do with being proprietary.
One of the reasons that I could not use Ubuntu is that I cannot control using snap or not. They even use it to install apps that you install via apt.
The fact that the only time I did use a system with snap left me with the impression that it is an absolute performance pig certainly does not help.
