finally, lyrics that make sense.

here’s the original publication: meltingasphalt.com/ads-dont-work-that-way/

…i’m not sure what you’re getting at, maybe i didnt summarize properly. give the article a read and see if it makes sense to ya.

the article very clearly explains that. Give it a read, it’s not that long.

…but if you aren’t going to read it, the summary is that the way we think ads work, associating brands with positive emotions (termed “emotional inception” in this article), is bollocks. Instead, they rely on “cultural imprinting”, i.e. associating the brand with a kind of person or situation. For example, corona is the beer for relaxing on the beach, nike and gatorade are for athletes. So, if you want to relax with some homies, you drink corona. If you value athletic performance, you drink gatorade and wear nike shoes. Major exceptions apply, please just read the article.

i havent verified for myself but i believe Deepin has proprietary components that make it not “truly” open-source like Kylin. or at least that’s what ive heard.

I switched to linux when i was already a programmer and comfortable with terminal use, so my experience probably wasn’t the same. But the most efficient way to “learn” linux is to just start using it (option 2: doing projects and learning on the way). Get comfy installing packages from the terminal (apt, pacman, whatever) and reading man pages, and everything else will fall into place as you try new things and learn how theyre done. these things take time.

The Arch Wiki wiki.archlinux.org is the greatest thing ever created and will be indispensable no matter what OS you use, though all commands and tips assume the reader uses Arch.
