literally the year of the linux desktop

i’m just surprised HOW they are able to make text editor apps so heavy and slow. seriously, HOW??

on the other hand its pretty stupid to hospitalize yourself for working too much for the bank.

i’d imagine a bank employee probably has more options than someone working on a kitchen out of desperation. please don’t do that to yourself out of grindset mentality.

they are literally doing that with wine and proton.

most peoples use cases are covered in the workplace.

the beauty of foss

ok, mozilla is at least doing stuff we want along with ai garbage now.

so it took that long for it to even be acknowledged

An oligopoly is a market in which pricing control lies in the hands of a few sellers. As a result of their significant market power, firms in oligopolistic markets can influence prices through manipulating the supply function.

I’m considering Macs and Chromebooks to be competitors. Maybe they aren’t since those systems are very locked down, but eh, still shitty and not much practical difference IMO.

nowadays the install process on ubuntu consists of opening the driver app, selecting the nvidia driver, waiting around 3 minutes and rebooting when prompted.

sometimes things do break, but the install process itself is rarely the issue anymore, thankfully.

in brazil, we used to have a law forcing this to be a thing. back in the laptop days, it used to be reasonably common for people to buy one without with linux, and pirate windows later to save money. or because it was plain cheaper.

it turns out brazil fomented a big userbase for linux for a while there. free market my ass, microsoft is an oligopoly. if this ever gets widespread i’m pretty sure adoption will grow for the simple fact people will at least get to fucking try it. microsoft wouldnt take it kindly though.

it can definetly turn exasperation into amusement.

I dunno, but I heard everybody clap.

I always hear the mean voice in my head clap sarcastically when I find the phone on my hand, so that must have been it.

We can think of a better system that the USSR or USA.

The USSR was literally the first time socialism has ever been tried. Of course we can improve upon and refine the socialism soviets came up with, using the obvious power of hindsight.

Socialism was never meant to be some static ideal truth dogma, and misrepresenting it that way is a strawman.

I also find it kind of weird to lump both like they are the same thing. The US is the bloodiest empire in the world by far.

i don’t think it qualifies as that reliable if rust killed it only 4 years later. car bodies can usually last decades…

unless it had serious unseen rust issues beforehand, or you were driving it in salt all the time.

its been a while

defense contractors in the us should be called attack contractors instead. truer to form.

using the tor browser is the safest, easiest and most practical solution. while they CAN fingerprint the tor browser, its the exact same fingerprint for everyone making tracking it effectively meaningless, and you get a random IP to boot.

the problem is some sites block it and you have to insist a bit.

😍 omg we’re so in sync

where is my bestie to exactly me? 🥺
