Just. Write. Something.
I hate that everything has defaulted to video these days.
They are a video creator first and foremost, not a writer for a blog or a magazine. It's like demanding a janitor to make and serve you a meal just because they work in a kitchen.
And then asking the janitor why they're a janitor instead of a cook. Like, if you don't like videos that's fine, but what is the point of commenting on one saying "god I hate videos."
It's especially funny that they said that everyone defaults to videos when, at least with Linux related stuff, thats definitely not the case. This guy is one of the few not terrible Linux content creators, there really aren't many Linux dedicated content creators to begin with, so what's the harm of this? Go read the arch wiki or a blog if that's what you prefer, but don't needlessly shit on a different format that others may prefer or enjoy.

Arch Wiki has a nice short summary of kernel variants
feel free to make a writeup!
Amen. So this. I always audibly sigh at this shit. The tiniest piece of information is always wrapped into tons of useless crap and blahblah which could've been a highly informative block of text or a table. As if the net wasn't already full of bloat anyway.
Then write something yourself then, rather than whining when you see someone putting out educational content.
The entitlement is unbelievable. This guy can put out content in whatever form he likes.
I play videos on the back ground or on the side while I code. The visuals are nice sometimes to clarify something but the audio is the bulk of what I am taking in.
Yeah I can read a hell of a lot faster than they can stumble their words out of their mouth
Yeah. It certainly doesn't suite threadiverse. Maybe just ban video posts honestly. Is there some filter options to remove them, alternatively?
This is one of the areas I see this whole "AI" thing being super useful. It could probably transcribe the video, separate the text into coherent sections and paragraphs, and take stills from the video as pictures. If the AI is smart enough, it could selectively pick out the right stills.
The summary for this video hurts my eyes to look at.
Yeah for some reason lemmy just discards any formatting (including line breaks) when parsing website content. But I think that's because Lemmy has a very weird way of dealing with line breaks in general.
Lemmy uses Markdown for formatting, just like Reddit.
I know that, but it uses some weird Markdown implementation where new lines aren't actually new lines for some reason. GitHub Markdown doesn't have this issue.
I think ignoring newlines is normal for markdown and GitHub flavoured markdown is the one deviating from the standard.

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.
