$0.05 yearly raise and an employee pizza party, take it or leave it.

In addition to that, it would be nice to see comparisons including xlibre, since it is slowly being adopted by certain distros and bsds.

Windows 11 was categorical dogshit at launch, people just seem to accept it when Microsoft shits out garbage.

There was some good stuff back in the 10 insider previews but by launch 10 was also trash. Genuinely when has windows been good after 7?

I never liked my jobs until I found one that I did. I work as a meat cutter (I cut primals into subprimals). It’s a job I could see myself doing even in a post revolutionary society. The people I work with are all pretty chill too. Mostly queer libs, which, is refreshing considering jobs I’ve previously had.

I obviously don’t like that my surplus value is being extracted, I don’t love that my manager is being forced to use an AI that allocates the amount of hours we all get each week (which is becoming less and less). But the actual labor? The actual task of cutting meat? I find it shockingly grounding. It just feels like I’m actually doing something someone benefits from.

Getting your needs met is unfortunately a luxury in the capitalist system. As long as my job feels necessary and my coworkers don’t totally suck I get by though. If my coworkers ever actually wanna do union activity they know I’m up for it, and if we ever hit a revolutionary situation, I’ll be down for that too.

A lot of people misunderstood the original comment you replied to. They know leftists don’t vote blue no matter who. They were bullying the original commenter for talking down to “everybody who didn’t bother to vote”.

Let’s use a cube as an example.

I can tell you roughly how large it is, if its rotating and roughly how fast. I “visualize” absolutely nothing. Not even a vague outline.

I locally host gemma 4 e2b on a very modest spec laptop to help summarize large texts, as a rudimentary translation tool, and just as a toy. It makes sense. I see small coding models on hugging face all the time, I think we’ve hit a point where it’s just too efficient not to atleast entertain a little bit of slop in your workflow.

Rad! Cool suggestion!

This looks like something I’d like. I’ll check it out, thanks!

Not too bad. Is there anyway to setup crossfade?

You probably want MATE, XFCE, LXQT, or god forbid Trinity.

Out of those, i personally find XFCE to be the most tolerable, and you can get some pretty decent looking themes setup for it. My system uses around 600mb on a cold boot, in theory I could get it down to 400mb but that comes with a good amount of drawbacks. CPU usage among all of those options is negligible.

Don’t think in terms of easy to use and unbreakable. You won’t get that because something as simple as losing icons on the desktop is the kinda thing that’ll confuse someone that’s bad with computers. Instead, think in terms of what’s going to be easy for you to fix when you inevitably have to play tech support.

Facts. XFCE should be familiar to anyone who has operated a computer in the last 25 years

Outside the “food for survival” aspect (which I won’t touch on because everyone else already has)…Rape vs Murder is essentially the topic here.

I’m in the camp that murder (as in intentional cold blooded murder) is comparatively worse. Culturally, I think the overwhelming majority of people disagree.

I think there are people out there that would much rather be around someone who has killed in cold blood. I think there are far more people willing to accept that a former murderer has reformed. There is a certain degree of sanctity people give sex that they don’t even give life itself.

Both are extraordinarily heinous crimes and i am in no way defending either.

This is a tangent, but I miss the days of things just working?

Why does my GPU need an entire software suite to function? Why do my keyboard and mouse? My monitor? Why does every piece of hardware need a buggy terrible gui with “features” nobody ever cared about until it was advertised to them? Up until the last 5 years I’ve never had a monitor not just work out of the box (outside of crt setups with adapters plugged into adapters)

I personally use Media Player Classic (MPC-HC). Just in case you wanted an alternative.

Do you know of an easy drop in way to convert a sysV system into an OpenRC one?

Yep! I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t care if it’s an optional component, it’ll be optional until it isn’t.

Mx linux here! (sysvinit) Just migrated away from systemd due to the drama.

Whatever your preferred matrix client is. That’s the alternative. Element, Nheko, Fluffychat, all decent options.

Is it perfect? Hardly. Is it the best you’re going to get short of some cheap discord knockoff? Yes.
