not trying to make fun of the idea and I share big part of your sentiment, but I just got the mental image of a person leaving the internet, opening a book angrily and saying to the air: "ha! it serves you right! I don't need you anymore!"

and I chuckled a little xD

yes I do the same, I never understood people's "loyalty" of holding.

Is just double risk.

so this bad use of oxygen psychopath has the nerve to ask his employees, who always exploits, and have a high chance of losing their job soon, to keep the investment on the swasticar so they have double the risk: their salary and their investment.

And all for personal gain.... why I'm not surprised? and why is he still wasting precious oxygen?

that's what Americans voted, wasn't it clear?

I know Europe tends to follow America's trends to some extent, but I really hope this is not one of them.

BTW, In the past I worked for many hours being fooled by my employer thinking it was a spike, and there is a moment where the productivity just drops, at least in engineering the idea of + hours +work is just stupid. Which scares me, because CEOs all over the world are stupid as fuck.

I did watch Dexter and sided with a psychopath, but I wouldn't in real life.... or would I???? :-D

Stupid take, I don't know this person so not even sure which side he is talking about since all the sides use this argument precisely because people are stupid enough to make political decisions based on movies.

you clearly don't know many good developers

this is accurate, I use the computer a lot and I use arch (BTW). Ergo, all people in lemmi must be doing this.

That is how science works, right? (I used latin words and all)

if capitalism was designed in a way that long term was relevant, we would have this conversation...

hey, many of us dislike both equally! (specially the push to become the only alternative)

hard disagree. life with plain text logs and daemon init scripts was so easy and nice. But we can't have nice things...

If the animal is bigger than my pinky finger I would probably just run the other way, so I hope I don't get asked this.

This doesn't mean that at that size or smaller I would win, just that we can start talking about it.

I know we happen to be a minority, but given how much valve has done for linux gaming, I'm happy to vote and support them with my wallet.

For reference, before they started giving a good linux experience I didn't buy games for more than 15 years, so is not like the game developers were going to get 100% of the money I'm paying for games now, the choice is to get 70% or nothing because I wouldn't play their games. Not only that, if the proton compatibility layer fails, I'm very confident that steam's refund policy has my back, again, without this policy I wouldn't buy games.

Remember, not everyone is you, and not everyone plays games the way you do.

never take the internet as a reference, I went to Thailand last year and did not see anything weird.

internet reality is not real life reality.

if narrow minded people judge you for something you didn't do just because of some generalised idea, then maybe is better not to be friends with those people. I've travelled alone and not alone to many places, and none of my friends ever thought ill of me.

Whatever the internet kids think I really don't give a shit, as you shouldn't either.

Man, I really hate gatekeeping.

I was with my family (mom, cousins, etc etc) in Thailand this summer too and we didn't see anything weird either, and the country, food and temples were amazing, and everything was very safe. (it was very nice to see my mom and aunt/uncles, on their 60s, visit such exotic place, they had a wonderful time)

But don't get triggered, people that do memes like these are mostly teenagers that think that "old people" should just stay home. These people probably never went on vacation outside their country anyway, I always found out that people that have travelled abroad tend to be more open minded and do less generalisations.

The only tragedy here is if someone is not aware of the rat kids on the internet, and memes/ideas like this prevent them to travel and see there is world out there, and is not as painted in the internet, everything is way more normal.

So, if someone of any age reads this, I can't talk for Philippines since I haven't been there, but Thailand is amazing and not at all as painted here. Careful with the sun though, sunburns could be quite brutal.

honestly, it has the word AI somewhere in their last year activities, even if they don't do it themselves.

Investors are dumb as fuck, they know nothing about anything other than keywords and hype trains, so with the AI keyword they might go crazy on this.

I keep saying it, the stock market is a mistake for humanity, it doesn't make sense to put a gambling house in the core of the world economy.

o wow didn't know this. such horrible design decision! So if I understood correctly ALL the apps that want to screenshot need to write independent code for each desktop environment??? I was just mostly ignoring Wayland until becoming mature, but now I actively dislike it with passion.

So, if this is true and I understand correctly, it means that if I chose to use Xfce (as I do), I'll have to hope really hard that zoom, skype, slack, discord... decide to provide support for not only linux,.... but XFCE or give up and abandon XFCE? yeah f*** Wayland, they really didn't think about the open source community when designing their solution. I don't wat to even think of people that use other smaller desktop managers...

I mean, screen sharing is basic functionality these days, in the interview for my current job I needed to use.. I think it was teams. Is not even something you can chose, is bad enough to be exclusive linux user as it is, always wondering if in such cases something will not work.

Honestly, long live Xorg. if deprecated and I have to switch to gnome/kde or lose functionality I might as well switch to windows after 20 something years of not using it.

Thanks for the advice, but a distro change for me would be a huge annoyance. I haven't have issues with my laptop's 1060 nvidia on Arch, and never had issues with the proprietary driver.

My worry is that even though mature GPU are probably well supported, I bought a relatively new one (4070 super ti) so maybe the new models have some issues due to having more features/being more extreme. Most complains here are about 30/40 models after all.

I use xfce, I have nvidia card, I sometimes capture a video of my screen and I regularly share my screen. Didn't even try.

I'll use Xorg until its deprecated or Wayland offers me some benefit other than "is new and shiny and the internet told me is cool"

I also became a bit sceptical about it with so many open source projects and basic functionality not supporting it yet after sooo many years of "Wayland is here"... so yeah, I'll wait until someone gets xorg from my dead cold hands 😁

also I don't get how aggressive people get about what other people have in their desktop, dude let me live my linux life alone 🤷‍♂️

oh man, reading the comments fill me with fear, as I just ordered a new computer after stretching my old laptop for 8 years or so. I was super close to getting an AMD but went with Nvidia in the end... but so much bad juju in the comments for Nvidia too...

"somewhat old" person opinion warning ⚠️

When I was in university (2002 or so) we had an "AI" lecture and it was mostly "if"s and path finding algorithms like A*.

So I would argue that us the engineers have been using the term to define a wider use cases long before LLM, CEO and marketing people did it. And I think that's fine, as categorising algorithms/solutions as AI helps understand what they will be used for, and we (at least the engineers) don't tend to assume an actual self aware machine when we hear that name.

nowadays they call that AGI, but it wasn't always like that, back in my time it was called science fiction 😉
