Color change, eh? Sounds like B+W makes displays more energy efficient, that should be significant!

Linux isn’t for you. Trust me, as someone who doesn’t really like using Linux all that much.

If you stick with it, pick one. Stick with it. Use its documentation, not online forums.

You can’t use online forums because CLI on how to do things varies from distro to distro. So a command for Ubuntu is useless somewhere else, most of the time.

That results in following guides and having it stop working part way through. You will never get anywhere like this. When you eventually do get somewhere, you’re going to take some time away, or you’re going to break something on accident. Then you’ll have to set it all up again and likely will have lost some data if you weren’t careful.

I built a server PC for Plex and a few other programs, after a number of years running various temporary projects, like Raspberry Pi servers I felt semi-confident. It was going for about 7 months and now it is stuck in a grub menu and if I am able to get into the desktop everything is fucked up anyway.

Tl;Dr, you are having issues because you went with the most complicated distros. Run some normal ones like Mint in Virtual Machines, get a feel for the process to install a program – 1) manually, 2) from the “Linux store” (package manager) 3) from GitHub.

Anything else is just asking for a frustration headache

Social media people only get paid €100 a month? I doubt that.

I’m sure.its a bit of that too, but I do feel like the ultimate reason is still, “well why are you taking time off to do something that isn’t only benefitting you?”

basically the same mindset that created this culture is what developed compensation for our time, as opposed to just taking the loss for the day to do a good thing.

Damn right! Damn hell ass right!

You lack the cultural lens of America. About half of our country governs from the perspective of “why should I?” with the most negative and self-preserving mindset possible.

Why should I pay for others healthcare, even if it means they pay for mine? Why should I donate my blood if it doesn’t benefit me?

Solve that problem by giving you $25-100 for your “donations”

On the other hand, Mozilla has ~750 employees all of whom are working on different projects at different times.

Their AI work is likely not preventing their development of other projects. Especially considering they are hiring for positions related to AI, I would imagine that current employee’s aren’t just filling in the gaps in the meantime, but are independent from each others departments.

You have to scroll up some, it goes that far over because of the word wormhole

It’s funny, I’ve been thinking a lot about people’s acknowledgement of faults or shortcomings and choosing to ignore them, whether it’s because they agree, don’t care, or think it doesn’t matter. Or don’t agree and there’s no better alternative, or it’s the least bad alternative. I dunno.

In the public internet spaces like Facebook, discord, the others, I’ve been seeing a lot of this happening recently with Linkin Park’s new singer. Some are happy and ignorant, some know and don’t care, some know and are saddened. There is a lot of vitrol between the people who know and are saddened and the people who don’t know/don’t care. This is just one example from this week, but it happens every week to every story. It can be, probably, literally applied to anything. People’s level of information heavily biases them from their predisposed beliefs (as in, if they already have an opinion, chances are that the opinion will not change when presented with new information).

In our spaces I see it with Brave. I see it with Kagi. We all saw it with Unity en masse and something actually happened about that, but even so people are still using Unity today, albeit I would guess out of necessity, or now ignorance since time has passed (not saying ignorance here is a fault). Before then we saw it with Audacity. Can’t forget Reddit, where a significant chunk of users are now participating here instead. And… yet… Reddit still exists, nearly in full.

It’s such a crazy phenomena with how opinions are formed from emotional judgements based on the level of information they have, and due to our current state of informational sharing there are microcosms of willful ignorance. And some aren’t ignorant, it just doesn’t matter to them.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentlemen

Most things by Henry James

James Joyce has a good catalogue, I recommend treating a book like the Odyssey as a college course and reading prerequisite reading such as A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the original Odyssey (and it’s precursor the Iliad).

This should be a good years worth on its own!

Which inherently makes it so that specific demographics of people will never be able to use it.

I grew up in the Bay Area so it would probably be easier to list the foods I haven’t tried.

Unfortunately I moved and don’t have access to 8/9ths of those anymore. It’s dismal.

I hate the puzzle piece ones, they never actually load the site for me.

What did I just walk into?

Okay Dee so that’s Tammy, Trey’s ex-girlfriend. This is classic Tammy. Trey broke up with Tammy because Maureen Kanallen said that she saw Tammy flirting with Walt Timny at a party, but she was only doing it to make Trey jealous because you know, she thought that Trey secretly liked Erin Henebry, but he doesn’t like Erin Henebry, it was all a bunch of bull.

You mean cable packages, which have been on the comeback

You save and shut down, silly.

If you were from California you probably knew he was full of shit because he duped the state out of a bullet train, promising the Hyperloop like from Futurama.

Of course the Hyperloop got voted for and nothing ever came of it because if it is possible, Elon would not be part of finding that out.

Well if things like Nestle aren’t…

People are proximal! Maybe they haven’t reached out because they feel the same about you – “Man, I miss PerogiBoi! I know they’re around but they haven’t reached out to hang with our crew… they must need some space or have moved on”.

It goes both ways!
