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.

Youtube transcriptions are suprisingly abysmal considering what technology google already has at hand.

I find them pretty good for English spoken by native speakers. For anything else it's horrible.

As long as they are talking about normal things and not playing D&D 😃

I actually disagree.

I'm consistently impressed whenever I have auto-subtitles turned on on Youtube.

I'm not impressed by the subtitles themselves (they're just ok) but rather by how accessible it is. Like it being an option rather than it being a "tool for creators" or limited to premium or something

Or maybe youtube has added so much dogshit features recently (like ai overviews, automatically adding info cards for anyone mentioned, and highlighting seemingly random words in comments to search it outside of context) that it makes me appreciate these things more lol
