!mealtimevideos@lemmy.cafe - is this the one?

Tom Scott: One of my most enduring favourite YouTubers, no longer active but there’s plenty there. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBa659QWEk1AI4Tg--mrJ2A

Like with the Gemini protocol perhaps? (I’ve not checked in on that in a while though)

No data I’m afraid but it just doesn’t ring true to me, unless there are vast regional differences. It sticks out to me as much as if you’d said that Bing is the largest search engine; I’ve barely heard of Apple email but almost everyone I know uses Gmail except me, including Apple users I know.

Are you saying Apple is a larger email provider than Google? I’d find that very surprising.

I guess I’m biased because when I first started using Linux some 20 years ago it was considered user friendly for the time. Plus I must have used it hundreds of times since I had a previous job which involved setting up a lot of CentOS servers, which could have blinded me to the problems. Still, I think it’s reassuring to do everything from a central overview page for your configuration choices, takes away a bit of self-doubt. I’m not complaining though, as long as the new one does the job.

Just upgraded. I think I must have been the only person in the world to like the old Fedora installation UI but everyone complained about it so it must be good news that it’s gone, as long as I don’t hate the new one.

Who is they?

It’s “Wastebasket” in the UK on the GNOME desktop. I’m happy enough with that.
